FedEx Office announces 200 U.S. layoffs, 100 in DFW
FedEx Office, a division of FedEx Corp., announced Friday it’s laying off 200 people nationwide — 100 of which are located in the company’s North Texas offices.
Jenny Robertson, a spokesperson for FedEx Office, says the printing store operator initiated the cuts to increase the overall customer experience and increase the company’s long-term success. The impacted employees work at the company’s Galleria headquarters in Dallas and at its Plano office.
Affected staff members were released Friday. Robertson says impacted employees will receive benefits for a few months, as well as severance packages.
The reductions are part of a companywide realignment, which also includes the closing of 20 to 21 stores nationwide. At the moment, FedEx Office is evaluating every store's profitability to determine which locations will be closed.
FedEx Office has 2,000 stores worldwide. As part of its strategic realignment, FedEx also is closing 17 locations in other countries. The move will essentially eliminate all FedEx Office stores in Mexico, Australia and the Netherlands.
Robertson’s stresses the closings are related specifically to FedEx Office printing stores. FedEx’s shipping and mailing operations will not be impacted by the restructuring.
FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), the parent company of FedEx Office, is based in Memphis, Tennessee.
