You got a Polo!!!
I went over to oil & gas. No unions, higher salaries, and plenty of paid time off. There's also one manager for every thirty workers, where UP will have three managers for every five workers, sometimes even more. If UP cared at all about efficiency they would trim management from the top down.
X-OMT.
Retirement?!?! Hell 14 years of service and wondering if I’ll make it 15. These greedy asshats are ruining the job I used to love.

Nope. I live on the brides so I can watch the train passes by so I can remember what a great company I use to work for. Won’t go no where till they call me back
No nobody did. UP is the only job. I’ve been living under a bridge and eating from a garbage can, but I still wear my UP polo because I’m a member of the UP family.
