FedEx Supply Chain Layoffs in Memphis to Impact Over 600 Employees, WARN Notice Confirms

As part of a business shift, FedEx Supply Chain in Memphis will lay off over 600 employees. On August 27, the logistics colossus with headquarters in Memphis submitted a WARN notification (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification).

FedEx informed the agency that 611 workers at its operations at 4155 Quest Way and 5800 Challenge Drive will be let go. The number of affected employees was not revealed at the time of the August 14 Commercial Appeal report on FedEx Supply Chain layoffs.

WARN Notice Confirms FedEx Supply Chain Layoffs

The WARN notice states that FedEx and impacted employees will coordinate services with the rapid response team of the Greater Memphis Workforce Development Board.

FedEx refused to give ‘The Commercial Appeal’ any more information about the WARN notification. According to a prior statement from the firm, the FedEx Supply Chain customer located in Memphis at 4155 Quest Way and 5800 Challenge Drive will be moving a sizable amount of its operations to a new third-party logistics provider in a different location.

The transition is anticipated to be finished by October 2025. FedEx intends to continue operating a part of its operations in Memphis.

Locations and Number of Employees Affected

FedEx acknowledged that workers at this location were informed beforehand, and many of them will be qualified for other positions within the organisation. According to the official statement from the brand, the business is dedicated to helping impacted workers find new employment, relocate, or receive severance pay, if necessary, including at other FedEx locations in the region.

Network 2.0 Restructure and Prior Layoffs

According to FedEx, these modifications have nothing to do with the reorganisations it made as part of its previously declared network transformation strategy, known as Network 2.0. As part of the restructure, FedEx stated in July that it will be laying off over 480 workers.
