“Cutthroat.” “Toxic.” “Fear.”
Those are some of the words current and former employees of Total Quality Logistics (TQL) used recently to describe the work culture at the United States’ second-largest logistics company — even as TQL has said it is deeply concerned for its workers.
Ken Oaks, chief executive and co-founder of Cincinnati-based TQL, has come under fire after hundreds of employees were fired in mid-March from the company’s 57 offices across 26 states.
Current and former employees claim “as many as 700 employees” were let go over a three-day period amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Some told FreightWaves that workers were fired because the company simply didn’t have the technological bandwidth to support all of its employees working remotely.
