Thread regarding BNSF Railway layoffs

Confirmed 10k buyout for carman / mechanical

Just got word from union rep appears they are offering a 10k buyout shortly to entice employees to quit instead of collecting whatever garbage unemployment is available. Sounds like another big wave of layoffs is in the future until the shareholders are satisfied. I encourage everyone to start looking for other employment while you can

@e9 labor relations keep exempt safe, that is their union. You’re correct, hr keeps their door shut all the time and work from home. They hire the worst exempts ever. My boss was kissing one of the welders at my location and moved away to California. HR in Nebraska is the worst.

This is only somewhat true. They are giving you a bonus now, if you promise to retire. The amount is wrong but I’ll do the best I can here.

If you’re over the age of I think 55-58 years old, they want you to retire so they can count on replacing you ahead of time. To do this, they are giving you a dollar amount to retire, they give you the money, then at 60, your out. If you break that contract, you have to pay that bonus back.

The only secure job is HR because they keep the bad employees working. Keeping management safe. HR needs to work for the employees.
