The world's largest package delivery company, which earns the largest chunk of its revenue during the fourth quarter that includes the festive season, said it was filling full- and part-time seasonal positions by across shifts in hundreds of locations across the country. Both UPS and rival FedEx Corp hire thousands of temporary workers each year to move more parcels between the months of October and January.

Last month, the Atlanta-based firm cut its full-year revenue and profitability targets, citing higher-than-expected labor costs as well as business lost during the tumultuous contract talks with Teamsters union. UPS executives said in August that customers shifted 1 million packages per day to other providers, resulting in about $200 million in lost sales. They estimated that roughly a third of that volume landed with FedEx. Analysts expect holiday sales to grow at a slower pace this year as high inflation eats into household budgets.

Jeezy has filed for divorce from former TV host Jeannie Mai after two and a half years of marriage, media reports said. The divorce petition was filed on September 14 at Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the first to report the news. The couple has a prenup in place, and Jeezy is seeking joint custody of their 1-year-old daughter, Monaco. According to the filed document, Jeezy and Jeannie Mai are currently living separately, and their marriage is irretrievably broken with no chance of reconciliation. The couple first met in 2018 when Jeannie Mai was a host on The Real, but they kept their relationship private.

Jeannie Mai explained the change of plans in an interview with Vogue in April 2021, saying, «We were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate. But we had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID. After Jeezy’s mother unexpectedly passed, we quickly learned that life is too short. And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife. So we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-mony, where we exchanged our vows in front of our immediate family and a few close friends.» In the beginning of 2022, Jeezy and Jeannie Mai welcomed their first child. Jeannie Mai shared the news on Instagram, saying, «I asked God for a life of love and happiness. He sent me my family. Baby Jenkins is here.»
