There’s no point in asking if more layoffs are coming tomorrow or next week
They’re not going to give you any notice that would be too dignified. They prefer to walk employees off the property and let it be a surprise. My guess is the next round of layoffs will be April 1. You thought you still had a job? April fools.
Are you there FRA?
Lots of cuts in Mechanical Employees. Cutting inspectors, Mechanics and Repairmen. Yet car loading s are up! If there is no one looking, it doesn’t mean that there are no Bad Orders. Hey FRA, are you still out there?

PSR storybook in your My Up messages.
Wonder how much they spent to have someone draw up this book of lies. Funny they mention being left in the dust by their competitors because BNSF is gonna do just that without this business model.
The numbers may boom short term but in the long run there will be a lot of harm to the company
I can’t think of a better explanation than that they are just doing this to fill their pockets and walk out, leaving the company in ruins. On the other hand, I’m shocked that the shareholders couldn’t see through the story that the c-suits served... — read more
Car Count and Velocity
Car count and velocity both lower and continue to slip downwards. How is this good? Stock is only up because the hostile investors are getting what they want.

Touchy subject here, but people walked out with a ton of knowledge doesn’t necessarily mean it was all valuable knowledge or current. I saw about 10 people who’s knowledge was past expiration in my department alone. In some of those cases, it was a... — read more
