First quarter revenues were 5.86 Billion, beating the Wall Street analysts forecast. Net income was up 22 percent to 1.63 Billion. Stock price is 245.78. UP is not a great place to work, but they are doing great financially. They will not go back on... — read more 

UP is finding it increasingly difficult to attract decent workers. It's karma. I think that the management is just consoling itself that railroad jobs are no longer as attractive as before. But no, if UP had a better company, which it doesn't, it... — read more

Most are still here just because they are close to retirement. Everyone else who has some skills has managed to find something better or is actively looking for other options. Meanwhile, no one who has any talent, knowledge and work ethic wants... — read more

Is there any company in America as obsessed with the family medical leave act as Union Pacific?

UP manager's motto "work more with less."

Almost anyone I talk to is unsatisfied with the pay and with the lack of any real raises. Similar dissatisfaction can be seen on posts on this board. On the other hand I don’t see that many people leaving. Sure, we se a departure here and there when... — read more 

I haven't been here for a long time, but it's already clear to me that I will have to fight to manage my work / life balance. Any tips from more experienced workers?

Maybe I'm not competent to talk about it, but I'm not the only one who thinks that there are too many managers at UP. Someone mentioned that the ratio of employees to managers here is 1: 1, but the real feeling is that there will soon be more... — read more 

You know it's getting bad where a Headquater track gang is just ONE man left. UP having to pay for contractors to help on local levels. So many open jobs and no one to fill them, I wonder why 🤨🤨🤨

I know a manager who likes working here even less than I do, even though I have no other option at the moment. This seems to be one of the few companies where managers are not doing well either?

It is sad how UP is managed.

There is no job security here. Unfortunately, we are all just a number on the spreadsheet. However, do you think some jobs here are a little safer than others?

It would be nice if there was a railroad company that really values its employees. Does anyone know if such a company exists? In the ones that I have worked at so far, for an ordinary worker it is more or less the same as it is here. I don't... — read more

Couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ll form my own beliefs, thank you.

April will be the 1st round of this years cuts! Covid, economy, war has caused the country to collapse. UP is and will do anything to keep it's shareholders happy.

Do they even do anything other than change shoes and pull bleed rods? No wonder switchmen do all the work!
