It's pretty routine in this industry that a management or sales position layoff come with no notice. Also, if the same were to tender their notice, they are escorted off the premises immediately. It is also routine that they are paid for the notice time, ex. 2 weeks notice.I think I saw a thread about this ( lost in the crash? )
Anyhow , I've read that 30 account executives were let go during the most recent round of layoffs. Best of luck to those losing your jobs with little to no notice.
Any other business I would say that’s crazy, but in trucking that seems to be normal....trip over dollars to pick up pennies....Let me clarify: A terminal nearby is busy , and making money ( they have the numbers to show ) yet , they are cutting hours and changing bids less than two months after they were set.
Same thing happened at my place. We made money last year but now we aren't. Let go of a Salesman and yet we are susposed to increase sales. Cutting runs and putting it on CRPS and ENGC. Not enough work but not enough equipment to handle the freight we have. The whole thing is upside down, I am working in the bizarro worldLet me clarify: A terminal nearby is busy , and making money ( they have the numbers to show ) yet , they are cutting hours and changing bids less than two months after they were set.
The question i have, and this goes for all companies that use purchased transportation, why stay in business if your going to outsource work that you hired employee's to do? I don't care how much cheaper they are every company employee should be working before they use an outside carrier....Same thing happened at my place. We made money last year but now we aren't.

Read the article you posted in your "Takeover" thread. There are two comments ( last time I checked ) one was from a layed off account executive.

Yeah I saw that .Read the article you posted in your "Takeover" thread. There are two comments ( last time I checked ) one was from a layed off account executive.
No way they laid off people without notice. This company cares way too much about its employees to do such a thing . Even if they were in a bad financial way they wouldn’t do this. Fake news!I think I saw a thread about this ( lost in the crash? )

Their always cutting benefits, A wage cut will start a major exodus...
For those of you that work at XPO , ask what the future plans are...( to your manager and/or your manager's manager )
Most likely , you will get double talk or a change in topic.
I watched a driver explain the "Takeover" article to a manager and the manager flipped out. After pulling himself together he asked for a link to the article.
XPO may be doing the right things to run the company correctly. Maybe. But , who knows , the upper management communicates only as much as they legally have to.
