Lance's talk on Thursday was pretty good, until he expressed so much sympathy for those poor, deprived government workers on paid vacation because of the shutdown. His comments on this were out of line and irresponsible. Lance, do you realize that... — read more

Corporate Greed is taking over and it is affecting our employees as we all see. Let’s make something perfectly clear. By and large, they don’t care a fig about you, and would happily do away every single position in the company except the executives... — read more 

It doesn't get much better than the earnings report we just had for a company in our industry. And yet we already know more layoffs are coming. How is that okay?

Keep working more for less so we can pad the executives pockets with cash!

Watch the $$, not the shells that likely contain no “pea” at all when the time comes to make your guess. A record $8 billion, 2 times the previous yr, was spent on stock buy backs this last yr. Ever ask yourself why when the sermon over the last... — read more 

Operating Ration at 62% with the cuts that have already been made and they want to get to 55%... to me that signals that more big cuts are coming. Look at the cuts we have already seen and that only dropped the O/R less than a point. Scares the c-ap... — read more 

When I watched today's townhall all I could think of was the ENRON scandal. How excited the macho douchebags were, cycling in and out executives. Lying to employees and customers. The CFO selling at peaks in the market. I don't know how this will... — read more

Have you ever taken a job only to find that it was a totally different deal from what you anticipated? How do you get a sense of a work environment before committing to an employer?

Jimbo and Jumbo are not on the same page, Lancelot will have to step into that mess! This was apparent when the Brazos yard came up!

I heard in Omaha today that they were waiting for the quarterly earnings and townhall to pass before they made the next round of cuts to bring Operaiting ratio down and the management structure into the new streamlined vision of Unified 2020

Overheard a conversation at lunch today that service unit management teams will be axed this week. I feel sorry for anyone with a S or D in front of their title. You know what they say what goes must come down

Eric Butler is coming out of retirement ...

Why is the PBLF asst mgr keep leaking layoff info? Those that work with me in the shop know what I'm talking about.

They cut 1 hostler/pilot job on both the east and west side today... Mechanical and Car will be next.

Butler got shut down

You guys are id--ts if you think the railroad is going to give any of you a heads up or let the cat out of the bag. Quit reading this made up sh-- and go to work or quit. No one cares and neither does the railroad.

At the Headquarters. From a reliable source in the building. I was let go in 2017, with the 500. People left are under so much stress just wondering from day to day about their jobs. I think maybe I was the lucky one. At least I got a package.

Looks like more Lies from UP. No specials agents lost jobs today and not much of any layoffs can be confirmed anywhere. Scare tactics once again.

It's a sad day today in Green River as eight young men informed that they no longer have a job. The UP is not what it used to be. Used to be about the unity of the workers with the company. Now it's the unity of the company with the shareholders.

Does anyone have some real information on any layoffs today? I am asking for real information, not people joking or speculating please. Please respect those that may be having a life changing moment that they are not asking for.

The BN’s as of 1/11/19 is at 251,852 carloads!! Looks like we’ve got the next New England patriots ... the railroad is responsible for hauling freight just as much as it is for making money !!!

It seems there would be jobs opening up at other railroads, Class 1s or short-lines, but I don't see it. Any information?
