Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

Will executives be cut or just the people that do the actual work?

It seems like we are at a point where there is a VP or AVP for every 2 people that actually work. CEO, EVP, SVP, VP, AVP what do these people do?

You’re making too much sense. The fact that some of these Sr. VP’s have gotten away with milking their positions so long is beyond me. Look, you have fired tens of senior leaders under them the last 5 years at least and nothing changes, at what point do you look in the mirror and see the actual problem is the iron fist, lack of real knowledge leadership from the top. The Southern region is quite the joke at the top. Most unqualified, fake, non needle moving person running the region. Time to move on bud, take your millions and gtfo, we got it from here.

Most of those positions spend their time on conference calls and bothering managers below them with d-mb questions they already know the answer to. Its all about hearing themselves talk and trying to get someone to say the wrong thing so they can put them in their place. Most of them bring no real value to the operation and bleed the company of money. I've never met a field employee (someone who actually does the work) who needs a VP or any kind to perform their job.

UP management should be taken to a mental institution and studied for decades. It is utterly amazing how no one in UP management ever has the idea to hire and RETAIN more employees in order to be a better business. It is incredible how these people communicate w/ each other thru telepathy or some other form of nonverbal communication to never dare tell the truth about employees being chronically overworked and departments being severely understaffed. It seriously reminds someone who witnesses them of people being controlled by a cult.

What those people do, is a question that has been asked over and over again. It's a good question, but that question has NO clear answer. When the things get bad, they write an article about how proud they are of the job they're doing. Everyone of those dam fools fail to realize that the company is doing poorly because of their actions. The executives are going to cut any job they want, at any time. It doesn't matter if you're a manager or not. The company is way overloaded with management, and some of those managers desperately need to go, because they're not needed. I'll say the same about the executives, unless they can actually show to the company what they do without the threatening or harassing behavior.

Get rid of the ones who got their job because of nepotism. That would eliminate a lot of problems.
