Union Pacific needs to change, I have worked there for 18 years. Promotions are all based on who your dad was, who your friends are, and how much you can drink on business trips.
It has been rife with poor decisions made by people who cannot run a lawn care business. It’s no surprise that the board finally said enough, the current leadership will be gone in a short time and those who add value, and are smart will have a place.
I have many friends who lost their jobs, all where nice people, some where the sons of past VP’s and where legacy hires. If I ask myself honestly; it s---s but I would not hire a single one of them.
My advice to anyone, the plane is already made there is nothing we can do to change it. Do you job, work safely for yourself and others, do what is asked even if it is different from what we have all done in the past.
