Grace in Mechanical would send reefers that were in storage for 2 years to customers without doing a pm or visual inspection because her buddy in equipment distribution dropped the ball in supplying cars to customers. She didn’t listen to her employees and helped out her buddy in EQD but when breakdowns increased she was put to the hot coals but instead of taking the blame for her decisions she found and made her employees the scapegoat and fired them to save her butt even though they warned her and had another solution. Wrongful termination due to re---r performance caused by her ruined the careers of good hard working people who loved working for the RR. Just horrible the type of person she has become.

Little Jim is running the equipment into the ground. Eventually its going to catch up with him and its not going to be a good situation.
They’re saving up for that 2 billion dollar bill they’re going to have to pay NS when this merger fails to get approved.
Ha I remember having monthly safety meetings and they would order chow. Then it got pushed to Once a quarter. Now it don't exist. Just keep working and will write you up for a critical or some other ever changing rule. Great moral booster.
