Summary

FedEx Corporation filed that it will close two facilities in Palm Springs and Victorville, California, and lay off 116 employees effective at the end of September 2026. The company said employees were notified months in advance and some were offered other roles within FedEx; it also cited broader network optimization begun in 2022 to merge ground and express delivery networks. The article notes this follows a June 23 filing for 57 layoffs at a San Diego facility and references prior closures that cut 174 employees in Emeryville and Oakland last June. FedEx said the initiative aims to save $2 billion through optimization, will close additional stations through 2027, and offered job-placement assistance, relocation aid or severance to affected workers.

FedEx Corporation cut 116 jobs in CA as of September 30, 2026.
