Looks like Oklahoma warehouses are heavily being outsourced. How many of you have been outsourced to a 3PL? Also what location are you from?

All under performing warehouses are first. Columbia, SC just went 3PL. There is an entire 3PL team now. We were told even better performing sites would 3PL in 2-3 years.
People being let go and others offered to work under 3PL for less. What a great company!
Has Virginia or West Virginia been outsourced yet?
It’s been rolled out for foods and beverages in pilots and I think they are assessing. What I don’t understand is how a third party can simply take over a warehouse in the same town, with the same job descriptions, and find people that will work for a lower salary. Give it a few years, they will jack up their price of service when they encounter the same issues we have now if they want to operate legally.
We had 5 supervisors to start the year, 4 of which have transferred since March. Sure seems like they know something the people working on the floor don't or it's a crazy coincidence. I work in an equipment refurbishment facility (vendors, fountain, coolers etc) that also has a hub and fulfillment side. At this point 3pl may be a welcome change.
3PL take over of a warehouse.
Attached or unattached does it matter for a warehouse? Will it be taken over either way?
Bullseye. Survey the directors and vice presidents still present; their sole expertise lies in corporate politics. The US org is going to get busted up.
PepsiCo is positioning leaders within emerging growth sectors, both inside and outside the company.
The entire US market will be operated by a third party.
@OP Almost all of the Carolinas Market is 3rd party as of October.
