Sibert is going back to Bakersfield. Get ready.

Strange things happening safety call canceled other meetings canceled secret meetings taking place online. Haven't heard anything yet, but it's coming.

Nice spin on press releases. https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/union-pacific-announces-management-layoffs-in-bid-to-speed-decision-making/

Anymore doubters out there that Vena isn’t going to cut this company down to nothing for the sake of shareholders money? Layoffs continued today and a manager friend of mine who was just let go told me about a fleet of bulldozers being sent to 12... — read more

I read some of the comments and have to laugh. I was in the building yesterday, and it's totally calm. No one is getting hauled into conference rooms. WR (HR) is never going to leak about a mass layoff. I also have good inside info no mass... — read more 

The HR employee that advised me of my layoff also said “there’s 750 more Managers, 2300 craft and 9 locations that will also be let go”. This is gonna be worse than 2019. Good luck, you’ll need it.

Getting severance to dump UP would be great in my book. They should have asked for volunteers first, I know I'm far from the only one who'd be happy to take them up on that.

They have begun to take some with HR into conference rooms.

For those who can’t read a contract…. Section 4 – Fourth Service Recognition Bonus A lump sum payment in the amount of $1,000 shall be made to each employee who performed active service under the collective bargaining agreement between January 1... — read more 

Sitting at my desk watching people run around, packing boxes, screaming/yelling, blocking off certain rooms, watched a couple fights break out. Something HUGE is happening SOON and I’m thinking I won’t be working here tomorrow.

650 Managers, 525 Craft and 9 locations to be shutdown. Unsure of which locations. Did anyone really think anything would be different with JV this time around. He was sent here for MASS layoffs to jack the stock price….period.

As some of you may already know, U.P. has officially notified the STB of its intended mass layoff. Perhaps we shall see a resurgence of system wide service disruptions again.

I was laid off 10/24 will I still get my Christmas bonus? Going to need it for Christmas for my kids

Rumor is the management Hunger Games will be Wednesday 11/1/23.

Outdated mechanical equipment(all) will be pulled out of service. Causing work to be outsourced. Cheaper for UP to use contractors.

I heard today that UP was getting ready to layoff 10%......

How many locations can confirm they are furloughing Carmen and replacing with utility?

With the layoffs of some TY at some locations, What is the SMART-TD doing about it? Has the Chairman just said oh well...That is tuff!

Makes no sense. Heard they were hiring more carman in De Soto just to work a couple extra cars a day. Managers are a joke and get ran over all the time. Every time a big wig comes in they would tell us to make noise and look busy. Heard they got rid... — read more 

I just wondering how many people have quit this company since Jim has become ceo

Just watched earnings town hall on Up online .1 hour long , very revealing . Jim and group answered bunch of questions. Read between their words spoken folks. Expect a lot of change at rr.

650 on the Southern Region side, and 700 on the Northern Region. It is claimed the jobs are to be open again in January, however I highly doubt all will return. Historically end of year furloughs did not return until as far out as April, but under... — read more 

The total revenue carloads were down 3%. Operating income declined 17% to $2.2 billion. “We faced many challenges in the quarter, including continued inflationary pressures and a drop in carloads,” said Jim Vena, Union Pacific Chief Executive... — read more 

He's misreading the situation and is only going to make it worse and he'll eventually be pushed out...

9 Carman laid off at south morrill today. Purification train is gone.

no furloughs today. Tomorrow's a different story.

JV team said rr runs 70 mph trains . Really ? Doesn’t EMS control train speeds to save fuel ? Where are Up trains going 70 mph ?

Definitely worth a read https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/the-trains-interview-union-pacific-ceo-jim-vena-talks-service-growth-competition-and-steam/

OR was UP to 63.4% from 59.9% last quarter….. Hatchet man is coming …. No one knows where or when or who but make no mistake, The Hatchet Man is coming…possibly on Halloween, wouldn’t that be ironic!!!

UP has been through term oil for over a decade. When Jim Young stepped down outside interest were brought in to eliminate waste (jobs). In 2008 the group (mck…) was paid in the millions by UP to cut jobs. Then the dust settled until multiple stock... — read more

I’ve heard a rumor that approximately 800 MOW jobs are going to be eliminated and replaced with a contractor, Rail 1. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is true?

On the DL he worked out a deal with BR which owns UP. Shareholders want their money and they want it now. This is going to be the biggest downsize in UP history. This is going to hit the 5pm news. The unions are going to plea to Biden for help and... — read more 

If you haven't been looking for other employment, say I didn't warn you. You won't be able to go to your lower craft. The union will NOT be able to place you. Read your contract. UP is working vigorously into combining jobs to eliminate waste and to... — read more 

Read today that EEOC has filed suit against Up for sending all those hundreds of former employees home that failed eye and other health conditions.

Will the managers get touched today? Rumor mill says “Yes”. Hang on my non-binary friends. There may be some bloodshed by the end of the day!!!
