I can’t see any benefit in this restructuring. I thought they had at least some plan on how to operate with a lesser workforce, but chances are that it all comes down to the “do more with less” talk. I work at a position from which I can monitor how... — read more

9 more months of cuts ladies and gentlemen. Hold tight and hope our location still stands in 2021. Precision 2021 is next yrs. slogan.

Guys, I woke up this morning and felt the need to reflect on how blessed you and I are to work for a loving and caring organization like Union Pacific Railroad. I was recently contacted by Tesla and offered a position as a lead programmer on their... — read more 

Well, it finally happened at the Ft Worth locomotive shop. A soon to be furloughed employee (Apr 5th was to be his last day) took a shop buggy out to a locomotive and proceeded to crash head on into the knuckle. Great way to ruin a recovering safety... — read more 

UP is continuously ruining peoples livelihood. Moving in hopes of a future. The railroad is being ran into a grave of disappointment. Thanks L.F. for nothing.

Hey, I noticed Lance has an 18% approval rating as CEO on Glassdoor. Do you really think 18% of people think he’s doing a good job or did he fill out that many reviews on himself? Either way, by my count 82% of people think he is abysmal. I haven’t... — read more

How long did it take CSX to call back furloughed mechanical workers?

Is anybody feeling the intense pressure from their manager after the layoffs. We’re pressured to get things done in the same, or even at times shorter deadlines, with a significantly reduced headcount. I’m a guy who is used to working under pressure... — read more

How long did UP sign him up for? I heard one year.

Remember how all the ceos used to go undercover and at the end act all surprised and disappointed that managers weren’t treating employees with respect? If Lance was on he’d get p-ss-d at the managers for taking off days and for not firing more... — read more 

Furloughs were always present in this industry and It’s within the rights of the company to perform them. However, I suspect that UP is using furloughs as an instrument to get people to quit on their own, or forcing them to find other jobs so the... — read more

Every time they post a "progress report" for Unified Plan 2020 on MyUP, the stats are worse than last year, and nowhere near the goals of 2019. Surely the powers that be are smart enough to understand that yes, they are running the company into the... — read more 

Anyone know what’s on the chopping block after Fritz and Vena left Kansas City today? I’m sure they’ve made some decisions of what’s next to be cut?
