HR says they just want to help. They want you to be happy and love the company.

Is there perhaps someone here who was disappointed when they first came into this industry, but decided to stay and in the meantime began to like it? I imagined railroad industry a little differently and was disappointed for the first few months... — read more 

How embarrassing for the company that nobody wants to be a manager anymore. Guess this is what happens when you put profits over people.

Is the warn act. The only thing keeping Jenks open. Not much activity

Be safe out there in Colorado and Wyoming the next few days. Management will still expect you to work......

The CEO is still in the single digits. Only 14% would recommend to a friend. At the end of this year UP will be ranked the worst company to work for 3 years in a row based on ratings. Some people try to be dismissive and say nobody cares, but they... — read more 

Has anyone moved to the Class II railroad to share their experiences? I have such an exhausting schedule here and that’s why I was thinking of changing something. Someone told me that Class II in terms of schedules is much better and that there is... — read more 

I don’t have high expectations from this job, but I barely managed to find it, so I can’t complain for now. A colleague warned me that UP fires for the dumbest possible reasons. Is that really true? Because of the smallest details? I can say that... — read more 

Serious question. UP doing the heavy lifting for them. Also, is there ever a draft day where some of these guys busted down to the minors can try out for the majors again?

Up has eliminated the Director or Operating Optimization spots. Not that they provided any value to the company. Most spent time threatening to fire employees for not walking fast enough when working.

Well Well Welll!!!! Looks like Union Pacific is partnering up with Progressive Rail. Let's just say it's been a good run Jenks but it looks like your end is near! Good luck guy's in NLR!!!

I can’t believe nobody has commented on this yet. How does a company plan to double one part of the workforce, with one of their main goals is to shrink the entire workforce?

That's the joke

It’s new slogan should read Destroying America one family at a time! All the families that just got new homes and now bankrupt thanks to the greed of Union Pacific I wish CNN would comment on this sensitive mater and make it national news the... — read more 

if they're not doing it, which they're aren't. The manager and him are buddies, so he can have his weekends off. Time to have Josh look into this. Seems like he favors a few kiss bott guys that drink with him

Why? Because they are no longer an asset.

Car Department, without blaming your Union or Management, what is your reason for ignoring blue signal protection rules, cutting corners with inspections and repairs? Is your motivation for that so you can sit in the break room longer? If so why?... — read more 

Lance's net worth was over 153 million in 2020. I wonder how much it is now with him pocketing your wages by making the ones left do your work? Glad I left. You should too.

Anyone think more layoffs coming this year? Covid seemed to be a stay of execution for 2020.

What do you hope to accomplish? Do you like the hours managers work? The unpaid overtime? The testing requirements? Getting called on your off days and vacations? The way you are treated on conference calls and blamed for things not in your... — read more 

The funny part for me was when my current employer asked if it was as bad as he had read and heard about. I didn’t give much info, nor did I have to. I wanted to ask him how he found his information. So getting laid off, getting fired, or just not... — read more 

Why is there always trains waiting to get into bailey yard? It isnt like half the yard is empty or anything.

Coffeyville and Parsons to completely shut down.Wichita to have switching done by wta and and k&o no more switching by up.

To those joking about the email i suggest you log into your my up messages. Its real and in there. Op has a point

Getting laid off now seems merciful. Just give me a buyout when it happens.

How do you get it and how long can you take off with pay?

Anyone else get the notification email about providing documentation to a contractor company up hired to verify our status and work eligibility? What the hell did we all go through with background checks jumping through hoops pre-employment?

I bet we don't see that ruling on UP's home page...

No more local jobs. Thoughts?

Has anyone gotten any info in regards to the WARN Act and if we are going to be a beneficiary of it. When you close a shop without notice then you are in violation of that law.

Lots to talk about now

This is bonus time . Not hearing a lot of bragging on all the generosity for sacrificing so much this year. What’s the deal ?

That’s what it is there for. Don’t let the managers shame you out of your legal right.

The bad ones seem to be riding it out, knowing they could survive if they hide. The good ones, albeit few, with 10-15+ years experience and real knowledge of problem solving, growing the business and how to work together across teams are bailing out... — read more
