Welcome to The Morning Minute, your definitive source for global supply chain market intelligence. Today we break down the massive news from UPS as the company begins offering delivery drivers $150,000 voluntary buyout packages to shrink its network and reduce headcount. We also look at major structural changes in logistics software, where cargo management maker WiseTech Global is cutting a third of its workforce in a massive artificial intelligence pivot. This two-year restructuring plan will eliminate up to 2,000 jobs as the company integrates new technologies into its customer platforms and internal operations. Finally, we cover a controversial 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that protects the United States Postal Service from being sued over intentionally misdelivered mail. The decision reinforces a postal exception in the Federal Tort Claims Act shielding the agency from liability, despite dissenting arguments that it provides much greater protection than originally intended. Stay tuned for our definitive analysis on how these major shifts will impact transportation industry participants.

Layoffs are back in the headlines. Job postings are down. Hiring cycles are longer. What does that mean for MBA students and other professionals navigating today's market? In this episode, I speak with Steve Jaffe, author of The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery. Drawing on his experience of four layoffs across a 25-year marketing career, Steve maps job loss—and prolonged job search—to the seven stages of grief. This conversation is both practical and deeply human. You'll learn: Why career disruptions are emotional, not just logistical — and how naming the grief process reduces shame. How to separate your identity from your job title before you're forced to. Why networking before you need it is the ultimate resilience strategy in a market shaped by AI screening and hidden job opportunities. How hope and small daily wins compound over time, especially during a long job search. Whether you've been laid off, are facing a challenging search, or simply want to future-proof your career, this episode offers a grounded framework for building resilience that lasts. Learn more about Steve and his book at TheSteveJaffe.com. Check out previous episodes on Resilience and Stress with Polo DeCano, Self-Compassion with Jane Compson, Gratitude with Ryan Fehr, Self-Compassion with Andy Hafenbrack, and plenty of episodes that talk about networking.

Bob Nelson served as the leader of the Fresno Unified School District for seven years before becoming assistant professor in the Department of Educational Leadership at Fresno State. Fresno Unified trustees quietly doubled their own pay during a January meeting, using vague bylaw changes that didn’t disclose the new amounts all while retirees scrambled amid stalled healthcare negotiations and the district faces a $59 million deficit. Workers and union leaders blasted the move, saying frontline staff face cuts and layoffs even as board members boost their own compensation. Teachers, classified staff, and parents spoke out at a Fresno Unified board meeting, strongly opposing planned layoffs and job freezes. Classified workers warned the cuts would undermine classroom support, student transportation, and campus safety, putting schools and students at risk.

In this episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we examine the intersection of trade policy, healthcare funding and the rising tide of union organizing across the United States. Segment 1: The High Cost of Broad Tariffs Retired International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) International President Tom Buffenbarger joins host Ed “Flash” Ferenc to break down the real-world impact of sweeping tariffs. Buffenbarger explains why broad trade penalties often function as a "consumer tax" that destabilizes North American supply chains, particularly in the aerospace and automotive sectors. He also discusses the recent surge in union membership—reaching a 16-year high—and why younger workers and federal employees (NFFE) are leading the charge for collective action. Segment 2: California's Healthcare Staffing Crisis Guillermo Mendoza-Luján, Secretary-Treasurer of SEIU 121RN, sounds the alarm on hospital layoffs and staffing shortages in Southern California. Following funding cuts to Medi-Cal and Medicare, facilities like Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center are reducing staffing levels, leading to longer ER wait times and dangerous nurse-to-patient ratios. Mendoza-Luján details the ongoing strike at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana and explains why patient safety is inseparable from worker protections.

The layoff ended your job. It did not end your career. The shock you feel is your nervous system in crisis, not a verdict on your leadership. If you are ready to stop reacting to market events and build your career with Independent Authority, join Mastery Accelerator here: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What is the Layoff to Liftoff Sequence? The Layoff to Liftoff Sequence is a structured recovery model for leaders after a layoff. It moves you from nervous system shock to strategic authority so you can return as a strategic resource. It functions by restructuring the nervous system's response to the event, calculating financial runway based on time rather than currency, and retooling the professional's value narrative. The goal is to move from employee thinking to CEO thinking. Key Concepts The Asset vs. The Container: A framework identifying the individual leader as the primary asset and the company as a temporary container where leadership resources are deployed and subsequently reclaimed upon exit. Financial Runway: A calculable business metric representing the household's survival duration without new income, determined by dividing net liquid assets (total assets minus liabilities) by the 12-month average of recurring monthly liabilities. Reactive Hypervigilance Loop: When your nervous system stays dysregulated, cortisol remains elevated. That keeps you in fight-or-flight and distorts your judgment, making every subsequent career decision reactive instead of strategic. Strategic De-risking: The CEO-level process of ensuring a leader's identity, network, and financial ecosystem are not dependent on a single employer. Optionality becomes your new security. Perceived Expert Status: The authority established by codifying unique intellectual property and insights, allowing a professional to earn based on internal intellect and market perception rather than external employment titles.   Show notes and free resources: https://CareerRevisionist.com/episode231 Do you want to move up in executive leadership?

The episode covers Apple researchers' Ferret-UI Light, a 3B-parameter on-device model that interprets on-screen interfaces using a two-pass crop-and-zoom approach, positioned against reported OpenAI smart-speaker work with Jony Ive, Amazon's generative-AI Alexa rollout, and Google's Gemini integration, with Apple emphasizing privacy and local processing. Walmart is highlighted for offering free Google-backed AI training to its US and Canadian workforce (about 1.6 million employees) via an eight-hour professional certificate, with executives saying AI will reshape jobs rather than drive layoffs. Wikipedia, via the Wikimedia Foundation, blocks archive.today citing infrastructure overload from automated requests and alleging some archived captures were altered, raising concerns about archival integrity while distinguishing it from the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Research from UNSW Sydney and the Australian National University finds most people—including "super recognizers"—struggle to detect AI-generated faces, increasing risks like fraud and social engineering. The show closes with Bernie Sanders urging to slow AI development, alongside similar readiness warnings from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei about rapid progress toward very powerful systems and the lack of preparedness by lawmakers and the public.

Oregon's small businesses are facing their toughest times in over a decade, with Portland at the epicenter. Bankruptcies have surged to a 12-year high, impacting storefronts, suppliers, and nonprofits alike. The situation is mirrored nationally, with increasing commercial Chapter 11 filings driven by higher interest rates and rising costs, according to Amy Quackenboss of the American Bankruptcy Institute. Layoffs from major employers like Intel and Nike exacerbate the problem, shrinking demand and pushing marginal businesses into insolvency. The fallout includes unpaid invoices, disrupted supply chains, and shuttered businesses, leaving nonprofits owed significant amounts like the $766,000 collectively owed to Oregon Nonprofits, further destabilizing the local economy. Will local leaders step up?

On Nov. 24, 2025, in a major and hardwon victory, Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh members finally returned to work at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after more than three years on strike. Then, on Jan. 7, 2026, workers were notified that Block Communications Inc.—the company that owns the Post-Gazette as well as the Toledo Blade, the Buckeye Sports Network, and a number of TV stations in Ohio and Kentucky—said that it will be ceasing operations at the Post-Gazette on May 3 of this year. We speak with Steve Mellon, a veteran photographer and writer who was on strike for over three years at the Post-Gazette, about how workers are processing this devastating news, and about their push to launch a new news source by and for working people. Additional links/info: Pittsburgh Alliance for People-Empowered Reporting (PAPER) websiteNewspaper Guild of Pittsburgh website, Facebook page, and InstagramNewspaper Guild of Pittsburgh “Pittsburgh Post-Gazette owners couldn't bust the union, so they shut down the paper”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / TRNN, “The longest-running strike in the US is over—and the workers won”Kris B.

In this episode, Sarah Doody chats with Erica about her experience in Sarah's UX job search coaching program, Career Strategy Lab.Erica shares how she got clear on what she wanted, made sense of a non-linear career path, and landed a mission-driven UX role.Erica talks about how the Career Roadmap and Compass Statement in Career Strategy Lab helped her shift from a fear mindset to clarity, why her "messy" career path across social work, public health, and UX research actually became her biggest strength, and how she got hired using a whiteboard and Mural board instead of a polished portfolio.

Trump claims the U.S. economy is stronger than ever. The stock market is soaring. Billionaire wealth is surging. The unemployment rate appears low. But is America actually prospering? In this deep-dive analysis, we break down the latest jobs report, including massive downward revisions that wiped out over a million previously reported jobs. We examine why last year's job growth was far weaker than first claimed, why January layoffs spiked to the highest level since 2009, and why hiring has nearly ground to a halt. Independent media has never been more important.

Guest: Fox Business's Lauren Simonetti on the Trump economy and the latest on the Epstein controversy surrounding Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. // Voter ID continues to be a losing issue for Democrats. // Washington had the third most layoffs in the country last month.

Leadership advisor and author Greg Morley joins me to unpack what it actually takes to rebound from setbacks—and why resilience isn't an individual trait as much as a relational one.Most conversations about adversity focus on grit, mindset, or personal toughness. This episode doesn't. Greg and I explore what happens after layoffs, career pivots, health crises, and identity shifts—and why the people who rally fastest are rarely the ones who go it alone.Drawing from over 30 years in global HR leadership, and from interviews conducted for his upcoming book Rally, Greg shares lessons from individuals who endured job loss, serious illness, organizational upheaval, and even genocide. The common thread isn't bravado. It's perspective, learning velocity, and community depth.We discuss why layoffs feel existential, how high burn rates trap professionals in fragile career paths, and why optionality comes from lowering fixed costs—both financial and psychological. We also examine the hidden tension between success and validation, and why redefining what “winning” means is often the first step toward rebuilding.This isn't a conversation about avoiding setbacks. It's about designing a life resilient enough to absorb them.The lesson isn't endurance for its own sake.It's adaptability, self-reflection, and tending the relationships that hold when titles fall away.TL;DR* Resilience is less about toughness and more about future orientation* Recovery speed determines long-term trajectory* Community acts as long-term insurance against career shocks* High fixed costs limit professional flexibility* Continuous learning expands rebound opportunities* Validation through status or possessions creates fragile identity* Simplicity increases adaptability* Listening across differences builds durable relationshipsMemorable Lines* “Rally isn't about pretending nothing happened—it's about moving forward with what you learned.”* “Your network is a long-term investment, not a short-term transaction.”* “Lower the bar you have to step over, and the world opens up.”* “You can't control the shock—but you can control the response.”* “Resilience lives in community, not isolation.”GuestGreg Morley — Leadership advisor, former global HR executive, and authorAuthor of Bond: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion and Connection and the forthcoming Rally, focused on resilience, recovery, and leadership through adversity.

Markets had a little “AI anxiety attack” this week and Wall Street responded the only way it knows how: smash the sell button and ask questions later. We break down the $285B Anthropic-fueled rout, why the “automation boom” is starting to look like an entry-level job extinction event, and how Big Tech's data-center dreams are already colliding with tighter financing and very real layoff math (looking at you, Oracle). Then we zoom out to the part nobody wants to talk about at cocktail parties: job cuts flashing red, wages getting blamed for everything, and a housing market that's still wildly unaffordable because the underlying problem never left — it just changed outfits. Add a little bitcoin weakness for spice, and you've got Episode 321: the reality check Wall Street didn't order, but absolutely needs.

On Wednesday, The Washington Post laid off approximately one third of its staff, including hundreds of reporters in its newsroom. Executive Editor Matt Murray announced the cuts to the company, saying its approach required “a new way forward and a sounder foundation.” The layoffs have created uncertainty about the future of the outlet, which has long served as a leading U.S. news source but has recently struggled to retain readers and improve its business model.
