Here in cleveland we know that the best option is to work a little harder use a little more elbow grease if you will. I know that sooner or later the top dogs will see this and reward us with no layoffs and think long and hard about rewarding us with a fat raise. Now if the rest of you would pitch in and sweat a little more we can get this done.

Cleveland Car Dept is dead, we sent our best and brightest to the locomotive side and Bellevue.
One more thing to add. If there is a P.O.S. above you on the roster that gives the bosses a hard time, they will lay you off to get to them so they can lay them off also. Then you will see how much they valued all that hard work you did.
I can see their power, they are paying people by the fing hour
One last thing to add: your immediate supervisor might actually care about how hard and safe of a worker you are only because it makes them look good. Once they get promoted, based on positive performance that they themselves had nothing to do with, they will forget all about you. Trust it.
The OP is obviously a troll or a new hire. Welcome to the railroad where you are absolutely despised by the company you work for just being their employee. It doesn’t matter how efficient or hard you work. It doesn’t make a difference the quality of the work. They will never show an ounce of appreciation for any of it and reward you with discipline and furloughs. Facts. Nothing wrong with taking personal pride in your work but it’s the ONLY reward you’ll receive here.
Hard work on the railroad will get you one thing, tired. Hard work off the railroad? I have seen people promoted after they built the boss a new deck. Or put vinyl siding on the boss' house.
Cleveland doesn't even have mechanical forces anymore, nice one
Are you kidding or a troll? Lol
They don't give a rats a-s about you or how hard you work. When the top brass says cut 10 %, count up the roster and see who is gone. Don't ever kid yourself and think anything you do will save your job.
Wish upon a star and your dreams will come true,
Car side or diesel shop?
Thats a very convincing argument, however I have seen some evidence to the contrary. For instance in 25 years of dedicated service to the carrier I have seen people work hard, take on extra responsibilities, make tons of money for the railroad as well as the shareholders and still get kicked in the teeth the very instant something doesn't go exactly as planned. Shocking? Yes. Completely true though.
