Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

There truly is not a more b---s--- worthless position on the Union Pacific than a DRO. I have met used car salesmen with more intelligence than the DRO’s I have met.

Safety incidents are down,, tell that to the families of thecemployees that have died in the last 6 months.

No more layoffs hurray profit is going very well

Could you imagine the instant boost in moral if this actually happened

The thing is you can still have safety oversight without having a DRO. Agree they are counter productive in every way. We already have a group that writes the rules and managers that make sure employees are following the rules. So why do you need a DRO on every service unit to re interpret the rules and just add more work above what the system requires? It’s just an added layer of BS for those closest to the work.

They’re all worthless scumbags! I hope they get cut.... Then Divorced.... Then contract a flesh eating virus.... Then step on a lego.... Then kill themselves due to the fact that the LEGO was a reminder of the children they had that now enjoy their “New Dad” much more than they ever did them....

Right! Safety is now EXPECTED! The new culture is much more safety oriented and less “s**T happens” type attitude of the old heads. Unfortunately the DRO Pinkertons are having to resort to dishonesty in order to remain relivant and appear needed.

We are a service industry, not a safety industry.

The thing is, safety incidents are down, missed schedules are down, efficiency is up, waste is down, all by double digit percentages in the last ten years as we put these positions into place. And the correlation as we bring in the educated new guard and remove the less educated old guard is very high. The younger educated workforce works more safely and efficiently, on time, and with less waste, and with less liability, and the difference is huge. For whatever reason, there's a big difference in quality.

Agreed...cut them and the DTO or superintendent....what a waste of 6 figure salaries and bonuses.

Obviously something's working. Probably bring watched makes you less likely to act negligently and endanger lives.
