Seriously - They come out with a retirement offer for craft and then they deny people with close to four decades seniority from taking it? And if you're management you have to worry that regardless of the job you're doing, you might still get canned in order to bring the stock price up a few bucks? The decision makers up above us really have a cruel streak in them.

@OP if you have 4 decades working and are unable to retire, you did something wrong.
@hk FAA3 in New York. No word of anything today so far. Not expecting anything either.
@jd They don’t tell you if you didn’t make it. They only notify those who got accepted . You apparently didn’t get notified up to your standards, so now go back to work. It is very simple
Hold on. I thought the union was awesome and union workers were set for life and had it better than everyone else.
@ja as stated before if they came out and said didn't make it last Monday. OK wouldn't like it but would deal. No info all week and then dangle a carrot on a stick is making an employee who cared NOT care anymore. It's too late to tell me I'm not not approved now and thinking I'll feel like giving any effort to work.
@j3 No jealousy here. If you didn’t make the cut just move on and stop complaining. You are not entitled to an offer. Many people leave without a package
to the guy in this comment section who likes to start all his comments off with "Waaaa" - I submit to you that you are a very jealous person and should seek mental help. Why are you bothered if people who have given 35-40 years to this company get a little bit of a financial boost to be able to leave a bit more comfortably? The CEO makes 30 MIL a year and I'll bet this doesn't bug you a bit, right?
@ht Just checked company email. Got same “under review” message. Faa3
@hv Waaaa , I had to wait a couple of days. Waaa, i didnt get what I want, now I am really mad!
@f4 You had the choice to get contacted by work email or change it to a personal email
@eg So they notified your manager, he told you you didn’t make the cut and you are still complaining the union didn’t notify you. So much whining on this page.
@ht If they send out that letter and then deny, morale will go lower than it is now. And it is sub zero now. Would’ve been better to have just been denied last Monday what is this company thinking nobody wants to work after being strung along.
@hk faa1
@f2 what area?
@f4 Correct. Mine was to the company email as well. Not sure what to make of it. Are they actually considering telling us it's our last day on the last day?
Same email but came to work email not personal email
Just got an email from the company an hour ago that they received my volunteer form and it's being reviewed because it was oversubscribed, and to keep reporting to work as scheduled.
@ee Same here, nothing but a verbal "no" from the manager. No letter of denial or explanation from the union or the company.
@dk None of the CWA websites I’ve seen have any info other than the initial surplus letter. It’s frustrating. And an email saying “sorry, you weren’t chosen “ from the company would be nice.
@dk I don't disagree with what you said but I would love to know why, if the company would actually be willing to get rid of a certain number of people in a title, that they would make the surplus number maybe only half that number, and then have to deal with whether the union will agree to letting more than that number go?
If you didn't get approved for the offer it is because the union would not allow over-sub's. The company nearly always will take over-sub's but the union has to agree (basically to not force backfills). Differs by union and sometimes by local.
@ab soooo don’t take the lateral treansfer. Which someone may have down because they thought it would be easier. Stop complaining
@ab ... what kind of English is that? Have you ever read a book in your lifetime?
There were 2 CST positions at my garage deemed surplus. Those techs were notified yesterday. 24 hour’s later, the other CST’s who put in were notified that they were approved.
@OP Waaaaaa, I didn’t get the offer. Waaaaaa
We are losing 7 from maintenance and 6 from construction at my shop in Virginia
@a7 If the company asked you to take another job in the company at the same pay(a lateral)and they don’t change your title, because the company can move you back to your old job at any time, then now they can play games. They offer the package to your old job(which is still your title) and exclude you because now you’re not at the right location, or they offer it to the job that you’re doing now, ya know, the one they asked you to take, and then exclude you because you don’t have the right title. So, you know what to do if the company ever comes to you and asks really nicely, to help them out and move to another job.
@OP Obviously those people you are mentioning weren’t in the surplus, so they didn’t deny anybody. But, keep screaming about nothing.
There's no honor among upper management thieves.
