Is there a set number?
I was just wondering, does Union Pacific leadership has a set number of people they want to get rid of and are slowly working towards that number, or is this one of those situations in which they just keep laying off for as long as it can be... — read more
Vena’s strategy- anyone who isn’t producing money for the company is a candidate for layoffs
This is a general opinion as far as I can see, but will this philosophy be applied to the maximum degree, given that we are a large company with many segments and not all of them are revenue-makers, but we all know that these parts provide the... — read more

It’s eaqualy bad to wish for good nd bad numbers on the next earnings report
Sad to say we’re in a position that any scenario that unfolds will result in layoffs. If the next earnings report is good, then that means their restructuring is working and what are they gonna do, more reorgs resulting in cuts. If the numbers are... — read more

Prepare now
If you haven’t been hit yet, you should be ready. Nobody is safe. Get your resume and job searches going. Stash some rainy day cash. This is going to be a long year for some of us. Railroad unemployment is a little over $670 every two weeks. (Correct... — read more
Boot print on my rear end
Seeing that I have 2 boot prints on my rear end, anyone know about the railroad unemployment? I have been with UP more than 10 years.
Mr.CN coming to Hinkle.
Hinkle is more than likely done with Vena showing up by end of February. Why else would he be coming? Only hump yard in the whole PNW and it’s likely done. No one is safe.

Anyone else wanna throw something at the TV during Lance's little cold snap thank you message? Pos had the balls to say he loves the employees as they furlough hundreds of us.

Does anyone know of the positions/jobs that will be cut in the Kansas City Diesel shop, and yard /train crew jobs? Haven’t heard much on this location as of yet.
Everyone is getting hit......
But from what I could tell the safest places to be located seem to be...... Houston/Dallas (Mexico and the gulf) Los Angeles basin (ports of LA and LB) Chicago (gateway to the NE) Again not saying these areas haven't been hit yet or won't be hit but... — read more
