Did anyone else catch the WARN notice for the Savannah location on Brampton Road? 68 people got the axe on the 29th. Management has been acting like everything is business as usual during the town halls, but then they pull something like this right out of the blue. I’m hearing it was mostly terminal ops and some engineering support, but nobody is getting a straight answer about whether this is just the beginning or if it's isolated to that facility. People in the Tulsa office are starting to get nervous. If you’re at that site, how are you guys handling the transition? Are they offering any relocation or is it just the standard severance package? The lack of communication from leadership is honestly the worst part. Every time they mention 'optimizing efficiency,' my pulse jumps. Checking in to see if anyone has more info or if this is the start of a broader Q1 reduction trend.

That’s brutal. The disconnect between those scripted town halls and the reality on the ground is exactly why trust in leadership is at an all-time low. If they are cutting terminal ops in Savannah, you have to wonder if they’re pivoting their strategy toward lean operations elsewhere. It’s always the same story: everything is 'business as usual' right up until the moment they hand out the pink slips. If you’re hearing whispers in Tulsa, keep your head down and start quietly updating your resume. This definitely feels like the tip of the iceberg.

I was shocked to see the WARN notice myself. It's incredibly frustrating how management dodges direct questions during meetings, leaving everyone to spiral in the rumor mill. Losing 68 people is a significant hit for a facility like that, and the silence from corporate just fuels the anxiety. Everyone I’ve talked to is worried that this is a precursor to a larger restructuring across the board. Don’t hold your breath for a 'straight answer' from HR—they're just keeping the ship steady until the next round of layoffs. Stay alert.
