FedEx to eliminate 173 jobs across three Southern California hubs amid Network 2.0 overhaul

FedEx Corporation is planning to eliminate 173 jobs across three Southern California facilities as part of its Network 2.0 transformation, including closures or cuts at hubs near Palm Springs International Airport (62 jobs), Victorville (54 jobs) and San Diego (57 jobs). The article states the specific affected roles include couriers, shuttle drivers, warehouse employees, managers and administrative/support staff, with the Palm Springs and Victorville cuts scheduled for late September and the San Diego reductions at the end of August. The restructuring is intended to integrate air and ground operations, reduce costs and increase automation (automated sorting and AI route optimization) and is projected to generate nearly $2 billion in annual savings by end of 2027. FedEx said affected employees may receive support such as job placement assistance, relocation help or severance and that no additional Southern California closures are currently planned.
