I worked for NS for about 7 years. I was in the real estate department. For the Union guys out there I promise we did not have a desirable job. When I found out that new hires were making more than me I found a new job. Went from making $47k to... — read more 

Why is this the only place I ever worked at where hard work is punished and the harder you work you receive less protection? We are rewarded with more work, mistreated by managers, and pushed under the bus by anybody who believes it might serve them... — read more 

I know this has been discussed on here before but what are our options besides disability? Ready to leave but still wanna retire at 60.

This Company is a disaster. Trains underpowered, fake diesel ratings, dispatcher incompetence, PTC failures and poor management. Please make it end and take this stock price down below $100 where it belongs.

Change my mind

All kinds of things could be said about this company, that it is managed by incompetent people without vision, that they do not care about employees at all, etc. however, I am very worried about my job. I wouldn’t be if I didn’t have to pay the bills... — read more 

50+ dispatchers getting laid off in Atlanta- many of them moved down from home states to keep their jobs. Now the Company is asking for partial repayment of moving allowances because the people being laid off did not finish their contractual... — read more 

By the time we get a contract, the damn minimum wage is probably going to be about what we are making. These carriers are rolling in record profits, operating ratio etc, and the crafts have taken a beating with this PSR over the past couple of... — read more 

This company is..........

So, how many of you are going to sign up for it? Looks like they are bringing in a lot of people.

At what point did you decide to leave this company? I have long thought that the problem is in me, that I complain a lot and that everything is very stressful for me because I do not know how to manage stressful situations well, and that I need to... — read more 

It was all roses and flowers to hear Squires talk about the Q1 report. You would think this is the best run company in the world. Records and Record $$$$ If the shareholders only knew what happens out here..... People Lie and make Numbers Lie... — read more 

I've been told by my local management that NS is about to cut all brakeman system wide very soon! Anyone else heard this bullsh$t?

Good luck with your jobs once we merge with UP!!!! Damn Bozos and Clowns. Once your no longer employed it’s free game on you!!! HAHAHA Sleep with on eye open biting your pillow tight.

Still not at 60%. Must be too many maintainers. Let’s cut some more.

Management that still lack leadership, including WINS will be terminated at this time. PSR to fall to its knees by means of shareholder vote out.

They are humping but not humping in Macon again. They are cutting cars off in the master instead on top of the hump. Was told thats the new norm..... at least for this month. Whoever came up with this idea has never worked in the crafts, just... — read more 

NS is hiring at Brosnan Forest if anyone is interested. You have to maintain the golf course and teach executives how to shoot a g–n. A lot of shareholder value being added there.

I hate them. That’s all.

They’ve called me back more than once asking if I wanted to come back. After they furloughed me 2 months after having a baby. Told them to suck it each time. Who else told them that? Meanwhile my old terminal is packed with trains and nobody to move... — read more 

Please share your comments! Let’s get ball rolling......sc––w PSR AND ITS FOLLOWERS!

One PoSR to buy another.

When it comes to hiring people, I wonder how selective is NS nowadays? It seems to me that the company doesn’t care much about the people it employs at all, I was recently surprised when a friend’s son didn’t get a job here even though he deserves... — read more 

Why would a company so concerned about their operating ratio have a operating officers "inspection train" party train with a sleep over during a virus pandemic ?

One word- Lack of Personnel. I have seen entire pools needing vacancies filled with no one to do it. Literally down to 2 crews available out of 30 at any one time with an extraboard at half strength. 10 conductors on Y on the pool from going out... — read more 

Locomotive Fleet Services at former RLS just now . Big ol'e $15 hr .... I just laughed and hung up

Got conductors spots up for everywhere on the jobs page. Big changes? Waiting on them to bring all these furloughs back first!

Now that I have your attention, does anybody know if 35’s will fit on a 4th gen 2500 with a leveling kit?

It's both funny and somewhat annoying when I hear employees discussing with each other which of them is lazy and which isn’t. My opinion is that everyone works even more than what they are paid for. It's a whole different matter that most of us are... — read more 

If I was looking to leave NS, what would be my best alternative?

These jokers don’t hardly want to come out of the office to walk a train or blue flag a track to hang an EOT. Cut these jokers off!!!! You ask them to check a track or hang an EOT and it’s the ol’, “I guess I could”. These jokers don’t want to do... — read more

Receive disrespect, teach respect. Receive lies, teach truth. Receive harshness, teach kindness. Receive bullying, teach compassion. Receive confusion, teach instruction. Receive criticism, teach understanding. Receive a follower, teach leadership.

I can’t even imagine it here anymore, that they decide to give on greed and do something good for this company. Well, these people don’t seem to care about the railroad at all, it seems to me. I wonder how this company works anyway, considering how... — read more
