Thread regarding BNSF Railway layoffs

As info, none of those positions are related or can be compared to the standard Salary bands that other exempts hold. They also do not utilize the standard PMP system that BNSF exempts have used in the past. They use the L band system similar to silicon valley Google/Microsoft and other data companies that rely on software developers & programmers to build and maintain modern apps and back office architecture. Also those employees are generally 100% remote but still work outside of normal business hours whether to resolve outages or to complete a deadline in designing or updating BNSF apps and systems. With that said, I don't endorse nor am against their approach as it hasn't been enough time to say it's a complete failure. Or whether it has potential to fix the issues in the long run. As of now it's not good due to the release of prior employees who were tasked with the upkeep of current apps and systems, and the failure of the ones that assumed the responsibility to maintain and continue the job and caused extended outages for all types of reasons. Unfamiliar with the setup or dependency of the app and it's db or something simple that gets overlooked and trivial. The engineers are sharp and can absolutely code or build modern tools and systems. But all but some are lost or have minimal knowledge of the legacy systems and apps they took over.

You mean a 'merica GED or home school diploma can't hold its own here?
