My crew is the only thing keeping me sane
We are a tight team. We all can rely on each other. Every one of them is a decent human being you can count on in work and personal crises. That’s the only thing keeping me from worrying all the time about bloody furloughs.
Living in fear..
Anyone else's complete shop just dreading everyday is going to be furlough day? Are they going to shut us down, are we going to be an emergency RT point? Are we going to be completely eliminated or just going to leave us alone? When will It end and... — read more

Let's talk about something.
One thing I don't understand. Carman are one of the crafts if not the only craft that can bill for foreign work. (X cars- cars that end in x which the railroad doesn't own) All of this work has to be done by someone and is pure profit for the... — read more
What to expect this week?
There are rumors about Tuesday.
BNSF Restructuring a longtime plan
Some may think this is a week by week or month by month process it takes a year to eighteen months for a restructuring of this magnitude. You need a transition management team. First a decision maker is needed who knows the requirements of the... — read more

5.3 BILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLION!!
While this company just got through laying off alot more people, daddy B felt a little generous with the profits you made him and donated 5.3 billion to charity. Someone pinch me and wake me up because this cannot be real life.
What’s the total damage?
So what are the actual totals so far? It seems like they keep laying off in the same locations. When is this nonsense going to quit? When is this constant push for numbers and production propaganda going to quit? It’s not like any of these production... — read more
Does anyone know if Barstow is on the chopping block?
I wouldn’t think so because we actually work and crank out releases but you never know.

Jusifiable
Most of you are sitting around putting more hours in your personal mobile devices than the actual time working. A bunch sitting on their butt equal to some reduction. BNSF did not hire you for that.
Denver Furlough's today.
4 Machinists 7 carmen 3 Electricians But adding 3 laborers
Topeka furloughs today
25 Electritions 6 Carmen
OP was right after all
All the talk of rumors and just like that BNSF delivers, lay-off.com was right again, we will see what the math adds up to after the dust settles to see what the numbers add up to.
Layoffs are here, brace for incoming
Rumor is mechanical just got hit. 6 machinists, 6 electricians, 4 laborers on the Red River. These management types don't like thelayoff.com? Wait until these guys who got laid off hear about Glassdoor.com Fu-k this company.
Weird!
Looks like it was all rumors folks. We’re nearing the end of June and not a single thing happened like the OP said was going to happen. That’s the railroad for you, rumors never end at this place.
Messed Up
In 2020 we were deemed "essential workers" while everyone else got to go home with pay. Now here I sit on furlough because I'm not deemed essential anymore. Pure wicked. Pure evil. That's when I finally realized this was no longer a good company to... — read more
We’ll look at that just in time for June
Execs announcing retirement and leadership changes today….here we go, 1st week of June and we will all get our answers soon enough on whether the OP for the big mic drop was right after all.
Executive Leadership Changes
Mumblings of potential leadership changes to take place soon. What do you know?
Everybody knows it's coming...
They don't care about you. They don't care about your family. They don't care how much you've worked in the frigid cold or the blistering heat to keep America moving. They don't care how many holidays you've missed with your kids. They don't care... — read more
LAT
I am excited about the partnership between LAT and BNSF! I feel like we are finally headed in the right direction. Let’s go!!! Finally something we can all agree on and get behind!
Mechanical dept in shambles
Why in the world would BNSF remove the skilled craft workers from servings the locomotives and replace them with laborers? What do they know about repairing and proper servicing of locomotives? Who’s going to take blame if one fails and causes a... — read more
Mechanical Apprentices
Word is they are coming for apprentices next. Management has been working on early retirements but it would cost too much in the short term. So the route they will probably take is cut apprentices soon.
BNSF does not care about you
BNSF does not care about their own properties. You are not any different than a spike. Numbers is just a number. BNSF is gonna make money in both ways, profits from rail transporting and cutting off their limbs to sell.
