This whole PSR thing is going to backfire big time!

I’m sure BNSF will be hiring soon. My neighbor is an employee and told me they can’t hardly keep up with the demand since the PSR railroads started running off customers. This whole PSR thing is going to backfire big time!

Roseville Car

Your director/manager are lying to you. The cuts will be double what they are telling you maybe more. They are just trying to keep people there until they can get the cars out so they can make them self look good trying to save their own jobs.

Company Family Day!

Hey everyone we all should show up and see if we’re still family! Wonder if we would be escorted off property again?

Family day

I dont think I have it in me to attend family day. With all our brothers and sisters laid off...complete yards vacated. I'm just all out of fake smiles and handshakes for our leaders. They can keep their hot dogs!

Accrued Vacation

Anyone know if you leave voluntarily, if you get paid out for your accrued vacation for the following year?

Where have they cut the most?

I would really like to know what parts of the company have been hit the hardest with layoffs this year and what parts could be most impacted by layoffs in the remaining part of 2019. Any idea? Any predictions?
