We have a special guest post today from The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society’s president, Raymon Krishnan. With Amazon slashing 30,000 corporate roles and UPS announcing an additional 30,000 job cuts for 2026, the global logistics industry is undergoing a great de-coupling. The Hollowing of the “Middle Layer” in AsiaAmazon’s corporate cuts, dubbed “Project Dawn,” are hitting regional headquarters across Singapore, India, and Costa Rica. For Singapore, which has long positioned itself as the “management hub” for MNCs in Asia, this is a warning shot. As Amazon and UPS de-couple, the global supply chain is becoming more fragmented and regionalised.
