Anyone sent home in KC today? Were the Special Agents there as one poster claimed they heard would be? Let's start debunking all these ridiculous tantrums being thrown buy the "mistreated" furloughed managers of years past. Move along to another company to troll while the people actually DOING THE WORK clean up your mess.

Got a degree and can’t use by or buy in the correct context. Get the fk out of here jackass, along with your “marketable” degree. The agreement employees might not have an education as pristine as yours, but without them, this place wouldn’t run. They also have every right to be disgruntled and complain. They give up their lives outside the company to fulfill duties to a thankless organization. Careers in this industry used to hold a high level of pride and were coveted by many for what they provided. Sadly, because of managers and executives trying to destroy the fabric of brotherhood and sisterhood, we’ve dwindle to virtually nothing. We are becoming the Toys R Us of the transportation industry. Picked apart by greedy vultures. Once they are done, those of us who survived this whole st show will be left to pick up the pieces, using what meager sc-aps can be scrounged up.
what is a kut? is that like a karate chop?
I know one person from KC who will go on furlough as the job was abolished along with all UP agreement employees in that department.
Supply chain- environmental- wastewater operators
Special Agents are in KC for training and also told to expect cuts in the future.
I'm not sure about the "disgruntled managers" part of the original post.
Managers have enjoyed relative job security, and the ones hired from outside the company typically had marketable degrees from reputable universities. In other words, they had options, and many (myself included) took them at the right time.
The managers who came over from agreement? Those guys (yes, they're all men) are disgruntled, because they will never be managers anywhere else, and a degree from the "university" of Phoenix isn't worth the paper it's printed on, let alone what UP probably paid for it.
Nobody is more disgruntled than agreement employees though, and the ranting on this site matches the typical agreement pattern of whines and gripes that every manager hears all day/everyday.
The special agents are getting trained as conductors and out on the extra board.
by, not buy the mistreated
Special Agents are in KC for a few weeks for training put on by Law Department which they fall under now. Nothing to do with walkouts.
