I had no illusions when I came here. I knew the workplace was more than bad. I came because I needed a job, but I gave myself a deadline that I wouldn't stay at UP for more than a year and that I would find something better. I don't think anyone... — read more 

My son in law got a mailing from UPRR today stating that UP is hiring and they "want him back on the team." It wasn't a personalized mailing so I'd imagine it went out to everyone who has quit in the last few years. My SIL walked in and quit three... — read more 

Are managers born with this talent or do they learn it at the company? I been hearing about more jobs coming to my yard and better equipment yet here we are months later and still nothing

All the real work gets done in North Platte anyway, and it is cheaper to live there. Makes perfect business sense. Finally the leadership team is guiding us in the right direction.

This must take place ASAP. Everyone who says there not getting vaxed must not get vaxed nor report any information.

If the managers at other locations modeled their behavior after North Platte, there would never be another layoff. Business is booming.

I love pointless meetings.

Unions tell me non violent felons are now welcome to apply! And those folks they worked so hard to fire are now welcome to come back to the UP family. lol

Nobody gives a rats a** about this company, and everyone knows it except upper management. Don’t try to “wow” me with these pointless meetings.

I heard from a former colleague that the OMT program was terminated. Apparently UP got tired of spending huge sums of money on hiring and training just to have the OMTs quit within a year. Any truth to this?

Thanks for making me an ungodly amount of money on your backs team! Now go finish the work of your coworkers I laid off.

Are you proud of yourself?

I'm pretty convinced that despite everything, our management thinks it's doing great things. The company is sinking, people don’t want to work here, but the arrogance of our management is greater than ever. They have convinced themselves that... — read more

However only the best candidates will be accepted. Good luck.

Expectations are increasingly unrealistic. Who will do all that work in this miserable company? I gave up on meeting their demands and I've been working only the bare minimum ever since UP started demanding things that are not possible not... — read more 

Why can't the Houston terminal move trains in or out of city?

Got another job opportunity with having more than 20yrs of service. Should I quit or go to the bottom at another company with roughly 20yrs to go?

Don't get me wrong, I’m glad people are leaving, but at the same time I’m getting more and more depressed because I have a feeling that everyone is leaving while I am constantly failing to find another option. It makes me feel like a loser. I think... — read more 

Only desperate UP recruiters not allowed at college recruiting fairs anymore due to UP’s toxic reputation.

Post any information about potential or actual Uion Pacific layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Congrats team keep it up

Union Pacific or Pfizer?

I'm thinking about how I would feel if I was at the top of a company that is the worst company year after year. Would I be ashamed? Almost everyone would be ashamed. I don't know what those at the top feel like? What do you think? Or maybe they are... — read more

about your health? Pass on the vaccine. We are not a family.

I remember back in 2017 some of the hiring bonuses for the mechanical department were $15,000-$20,000. Some fast food places are offering $1000 in my area. Just wonder if a hiring bonus would encourage someone to join the U.P. even with all of the... — read more

If you really appreciate and value your employees, keep your $hitty hotdog and give them a decent contract with squirt of respect.

Mine is denied. I wonder what medical conditions one needs to have in order to get their medical exemption approved?

A step in the right direction. UP says Dec 8 is not a cliff. Only because they know and can see what’s about to happen. Thousands would be off at one time! They can’t get furloughs to come back or even hire new people in mechanical department at... — read more 

What do you think Lance will be for Halloween?

If everybody who claims they'll leave for this or that reason does walk away, we're good for a while.

Look what the vaccine mandate has caused. Diversity among ourselves. Why cant we go back to hating the company like the good old days.

So one CEO has decided to force his workforce to be vaccinated and the other despite a White house mandate has decided not to comply at least for now. I know it's easy to determine who's correct if you look at each individuals record but maybe Mr... — read more
