Is anyone actually still feeling safe here?

I’ve been reading the threads about the 48k+ total cuts since last year and it’s honestly terrifying. Every time we hear about another 60 or 100 people getting walked out, the managers do their little 'we’re restructuring for efficiency' speech, but we all know it’s just about padding the margins for the shareholders before the next earnings call. I feel like I’m looking over my shoulder every time my internal chat pings. I’ve started applying to other logistics firms, but even they seem to be holding back on hiring because the whole industry is spooked by what’s happening here. Has anyone who survived these recent rounds noticed if the workload is actually manageable, or are they just dumping the work of the laid-off staff onto whoever is left? The silence from leadership is the worst part—they don't even pretend to value retention anymore. Just keeping my head down and updating my resume every Sunday night at this point.

I’ve been watching this play out from the warehouse floor and it’s become impossible to ignore. The constant corporate speak about efficiency is just a thin veil for anxiety and instability. I stopped trusting the leadership team months ago when they started prioritizing quarterly earnings over the people who actually move the freight. Honestly, if you’re already looking at other logistics companies, you’re ahead of the curve. Don’t wait for them to decide your future for you. Start sending those resumes out now before the next round of cuts hits even harder.

Hang in there. I know the feeling of dread when a notification pops up, but you have to stop tying your personal value to a company that treats headcount like a line item on a spreadsheet. I’ve seen this cycle happen before during past downturns, and the only people who come out unscathed are the ones who prepare for the exit early. Keep updating your credentials and keep your head down until you have a better offer in hand. You aren't being disloyal by looking out for your own security in this climate.
