@1yzu What? People are quitting for a reason in case you're not aware. Why would they want to go back? I was at the UP for 27 years and never saw anyone finish out there two weeks. The moment you submit a letter of resignation, they WILL walk you out within hours of your submission and label it a termination. That does two things effectively. It eliminates the unemployment obligation and removes the chance of you ever going back. The UP will slap a label on your name as a no-rehire. You're better off staying until you get furloughed, to avoid being labeled in case you would ever want to go back. One poster already said something about doing it the correct and polite way, but it DOES NOT mean the UP will honor it the correct and polite way. Yes you should do it the correct way, but that means you'd have to trust the very company who's been hurting and ruining peoples lives for the last several years in the interest of the shareholders. Would you want to go back to that someday? I left after 27 years in the industry for a good reason! My reason for leaving hasn't changed, and I have ZERO desire to ever see that place again after what they did to my co-workers.
