btw FedEx is dissolving its HR Dept company-wide. you should definitely worry about what it means for a leading Fortune 500 to get away with simply Not having HR readily available to its employees.
Wanna know the crazy part abt this, is if you look this up, every single article that comes up looks tabloid asf, right?
Reddit. the FedEx reddits are chock full of people going thru massive layoffs rn. HR personnel, entire stations being shut down. This is coming in under the guise of company restructuring for Network 2.0, which collapses Express and Ground into one company, but to do that there's hundreds of people being laid off at a time. FedEx has been rolling out WARNs since late 2025 into Jan 2026. Some of its biggest stations are being shut down by mid-april.
As for me, I've been watching them roll AI into near every HR function possible, everything from applying to positipns to hiring for them, inquiries, tech support, etc. Meanwhile, actual HR personnel are just disappearing, or if they speak up you hear about severance packages that are pitiful at best and offensive at worst.
Did you guys know that HR personnel are often the ones handling working knowledge of the labor laws in the US.
you guys. i don't know if you know this but FedEx is a massive company that plays a huge role in the economy. you NEED to be worried that it's normalizing the use of AI for functions that deal daily with labor laws.
