This African proverb explicitly warns that in an emergency, you have to stop trying to "be right" and start trying to survive. If you keep bickering, you’re essentially choosing to allow the house to burn down just to win the argument. This is the perfect depiction of what is happening at BNSF and everyone is playing right into it. Managers against employees. Employees against managers, Employees against employees, managers against managers. HUGE Trust issues. Is this a huge daycare??? The competition loves how BNSF is having its managers go after their employees and pitting everyone against each other. "A house divided against itself cannot stand" -Matthew 12:25 The leadership is probably the worst i have ever seen. If you want to thrive, take Buffets advice and "Stop writing people up" Even he saw the ridiculousness in the way it was being ran. Looks like its gotten worse unfortunately. So glad I left that toxic place. Never in my life did I see more people against each other than at the bnsf. That culture shift starts at the top. If you want your company to change, then YOU have to change.

Too many sell out Mesicans and Blacks who will stab you in the back for these cr-ppy jobs. Two man yard switchers, and road locals su-k big time!
All sold out for 25.000 for reduced crew.
Su-kers!
@z5 good thing you’re retiring soon mateo
Yeah buddy. bnsf is a sinking ship !!
@dx obviously you need to re read what he said simp lol
@dx almost need to form a separate Union to fight our existing Union. They take our money and you don’t hear or see from them period.
@bf unions provide job security? Please explain that to me.
If there is no work for the size of workforce. Then the COMPANY trims the workforce. When work picks up then company hires. When does or did the UNION have a say in that? Most of the time they are reacting to what the company has done. And nothing changes for the better.
Straight up, the Unions...all 12 of them dont do sh^t for us. And job security with RR's is a use to be.
Most of the problems are created by the unions. They don’t provide any real job security or clear scope of work. Most of the time, you only hear from them when you’re in trouble. They spend members’ money on large union trips to Florida, and they seem too close with the labor relations group.
There used to be agreements in place to help protect your job when contractors came onto the property, but that no longer seems to exist. They also never seem to have money available for arbitration when you lose your job. Now they’re even taking time-slip money and putting it back into the union to “make it stronger”. My union settled out 1500 timeslips in 2012 ish and the union got all the money. No employees, district 400 on track.
