Get a 550 million dollar settlement if ya a and only a nigggga! Cry baby biatcch.
How do we get in on the 550 million dollar settlement? That explains why everyone will be leaving and they are hiring for replacement employees..
Tucson is the spot
How many bosses will be screaming at their employees about the work being done while they're watching the game themselves? I'd say pretty much all of them! The only thing I've seen any manager bring their employees is anger and frustration and that doesn't cost the company anything.
How many bosses will bring a tv to work and buy pizza for their men to enjoy the super bowl ?
Managers should and should be replaced with drones and AI. So much more efficient. Except for maybe being a gofer.
I can't imagine why any manager would want to move up at the UP. Do they really want to be that much closer to Vena? The last comment sounds an awful lot like a particular senior manager out of Council Bluffs. He's a real company yes man!
This is all the result of the managements "yes" man culture at UP. If it came from someone above you, the answer is always yes. My manager isn't a bad person, but 75% of the time he is ineffectual and clueless. We have to tell him to go buy gatorades or some other menial task to get him out of our way. Then we have to think ahead and spoon feed him the answers for the questions that will inevitably be coming from the director. The saddest part is he thinks he is actually contributing by things operating this way. He is so clueless he thinks his job is to manage what he calls the 'logistics' which is just repeating what we tell him in advance to say or by being our water captain / gofer. What terrifies me is he wants to move up, what good is someone who only knows how to buy gatorade, pizza, or go to home depot in the business of railroading? Every once in a while he gets a little too big for his britches and tries to push someone around, all you have to do is tell him to show you himself how to actually perform a task. His eyes get huge from fear and he goes right back to being the nicest person he can be. This works w/ the aggressive a$$hole type of managers too, when you ask them to display some actual competence and they say "but you are the professional" don't accept their fake compliment. Insist they show you maybe 2 different ways that it could be done. Those managers will avoid you like the plague after you do that.
Surprised union pathetic is’nt bankrupt from law suits yet. There should be zero sympathy for companies like this.
I hope all these lawsuits eat away at UP so bad that management don't get a bonus for ten years.
UP Management is useless as a football bat.
Can't say I'm surprised at all! You now have managers at all levels roaming around a whole lot more trying to keep their positions relevant, when in reality they're not and they know it! The management has been making up new ways to fire people on some BS rules infraction, then wonder why morale and attitudes are so bad. Gee....I wonder why?! It's gotten so bad now that people are just leaving and still getting a puzzled look from management about why some people are leaving. Did they really think that the employees were going to stick around and put up with the potential furloughs and firings AGAIN? Nope we've already been through that before! Some or all of the general managers are going through the system and having meetings with lower management over something. I don't know what the meetings are about, but the ones that were in attendance at those meetings are conveniently gone most of the time now and not just sitting in their offices. I agree that something is happening at the UP. I'm sure we'll find out what those meetings are about in due time. As for now, I just like watching the management scramble to look busy struggling to do a job that they were hired to do, but never actually did it before. A 500 million dollar lawsuit against UP for behavioral issues with the employees? DUH!!!! What the he-l did you expect?? You have the narcissistic shareholder puppet Vena running the show, NO ONE AT THE COMPANY LIKES HIM, a lot of people are afraid that they're going to lose their jobs on a daily basis and somehow everyone is supposed to be in good spirits when they go to work at the UP? If you put people in a bad mood, it tends to get noticed by all. If the lawsuit goes through, then that WILL be the end-of-career lawsuit for Vena. He won't survive it!
Did UP offer any services to help the people displaced in SoCal ? Any financial help ? Any offers to transport people or materials that can help facilitate recovery ? Anything at all ?
Getting fired from UP is like getting out of a bad marriage. You feel a lot better once you move on to better things and find yourself happier than you’ve been for a long time.
500-million-dollar class action lawsuit was filed today against Union Pacific for behavior of certain employees and managers in the Houston Area. A ton of people are about to be pulled out for service.
