Is the Amazon partnership winding down impacting us already?

So, I've been hearing a lot of noise about UPS unwinding its partnership with Amazon and some sources mentioning significant job cuts tied to that. It makes sense from a business perspective, but I'm starting to wonder if we're seeing the early effects of that shift, even if there's no official layoff announcement. Are departments that heavily worked with Amazon accounts seeing changes in workload or staffing? Or are there internal discussions happening that are trickling down? It feels like a big strategic move that would inevitably have ripple effects on the ground. I haven't seen anything concrete myself, but the speculation is really intense. Just looking for some clarity or to hear if anyone else has noticed a tangible difference in their day-to-day work that might be linked to this. Trying to understand the broader picture beyond the headlines.

I haven't heard anything concrete about direct layoffs linked to the Amazon shift yet, but there's definitely a buzz. My team's workload hasn't changed drastically, but we're all watching our backs. It feels like management is being cagey, which isn't exactly reassuring. The hope is that other contracts will pick up the slack, but for now, it's just speculation and a bit of unease.

My department, which handles a lot of the Amazon volume, is definitely feeling a squeeze. The workload has been noticeably lighter over the last few weeks, and there's been talk of reallocating resources. While no one's been officially cut, people are definitely concerned about future stability. It feels like a slow burn rather than an immediate crisis, but the writing is on the wall.
