Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

UP recruiting. Not!

Someone wrote this yesterday:
“I heard about a career fair that the UP was a part of last year that NO ONE was interested in. I was told that it was in Iowa somewhere. As big as the UP is, and with some of the wages the UP pays, that no one showed interest in the UP? The UP is a sh–ty place to work clearly, but NO ONE? I never knew about that career fair until I was told about it. If that happens to be true, then it really makes you wonder. The folks who know nothing about railroading are avoiding the UP.”

I also don’t know if the story is true, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was. They are not fooling anybody anymore,, no one wants to work here anymore.

I’m sure they’d like it to be fake. Worst company two years in a row and a national embarrassment on Glassdoor. No it’s real. They’re not getting invited to career fairs and college graduates aren’t interested. Sure they still get some applicants. Radio Shack gets applicants too. So do the limo companies. But UP has to throw bonuses just to fill conductor classes! And forget trying to hire college grads with offers from other companies. Nope.

You really should look up past career fairs regarding the UP, and see the attendance results before you call something fake. Your statement hinges on the idea that the UP was always bad. The UP was a decent place at one time, but got real bad in the last 6 years. The UP IS THAT BAD! there are other jobs that are better, and yes some do pay less. The last sentence tells me that your not very observant. People are in fact leaving to get away from the company. Most people are REFUSING to go back when they get a call to come back. Please feel free to fact check that if you'd like.

Just fake postings.........they still have plenty of applicants. If it’s as bad as some make out, they would have zero employees....including the ones posting here. If other jobs were so easy to find, and so much better, even if they paid less, then again, there would be nobody working at UP.

If the people that don’t want to work here would just go work somewhere else maybe this place would be a great place to work. Read it again and slow if you need to! What is the employee count and what would it be if that happened?

It’s easier recruiting people into the Army infantry than UP.

No one interested in working for the 2 time winner of the "worst company to work for ", what a surprise.

Well, if that happened last year then it would of been January or February. But it was definitely happening before then. These young kids are doing their research and word is out on the sh– show UP is. Most schools aren’t even inviting them anymore due to the company’s lack of ethics and the way they treat people.
