How many of you guys are about to quit your job at UP this year? Is your decision pending until new contract or just waiting till June, so you can collect next year vacation time?

Am now seeing operating dept. superintendent s moved and new 1s assigned.

Manager's will be cut to the bare minimum on Tuesday May 10, 2022. Be aware, act now.

I hope Elon will buy the UPrr.

Amen

Most are still here just because they are close to retirement. Everyone else who has some skills has managed to find something better or is actively looking for other options. Meanwhile, no one who has any talent, knowledge and work ethic wants... — read more

Is there any company in America as obsessed with the family medical leave act as Union Pacific?

UP manager's motto "work more with less."

Almost anyone I talk to is unsatisfied with the pay and with the lack of any real raises. Similar dissatisfaction can be seen on posts on this board. On the other hand I don’t see that many people leaving. Sure, we se a departure here and there when... — read more 

I haven't been here for a long time, but it's already clear to me that I will have to fight to manage my work / life balance. Any tips from more experienced workers?

Maybe I'm not competent to talk about it, but I'm not the only one who thinks that there are too many managers at UP. Someone mentioned that the ratio of employees to managers here is 1: 1, but the real feeling is that there will soon be more... — read more 

You know it's getting bad where a Headquater track gang is just ONE man left. UP having to pay for contractors to help on local levels. So many open jobs and no one to fill them, I wonder why 🤨🤨🤨

When the told the union man his house wife had to join the labor force and start working as a wage slave along side her husband to help lower wages by increasing the supply of cheap labor. The unions applauded and beat their cheats and chanted... — read more 

Calling the BNSF draconian attendance policy a “minor dispute”. Get ready for disappointment come contract right time.

Dear upper management, please send the hand written thank you notes from managers to the shareholders. Please send the advice for coffee breaks to the shareholders. Please send the diversity training and the pick your preferred pronoun to the... — read more 

I know a manager who likes working here even less than I do, even though I have no other option at the moment. This seems to be one of the few companies where managers are not doing well either?

It is sad how UP is managed.

There is no job security here. Unfortunately, we are all just a number on the spreadsheet. However, do you think some jobs here are a little safer than others?

It would be nice if there was a railroad company that really values its employees. Does anyone know if such a company exists? In the ones that I have worked at so far, for an ordinary worker it is more or less the same as it is here. I don't... — read more 

It’s obvious that the employees hate the managers and think they are useless. The managers hate the employees and think they are lazy. The execs hate everyone under them and think everyone is replaceable or not needed. So what is the solution? Just... — read more 

Couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ll form my own beliefs, thank you.

April will be the 1st round of this years cuts! Covid, economy, war has caused the country to collapse. UP is and will do anything to keep it's shareholders happy.

Do they even do anything other than change shoes and pull bleed rods? No wonder switchmen do all the work!

The https://youtu.be/y5wsjMSXolU. Burt Lancaster movie the train. Reminds me of the UP , get that train out of town. Get off my train, my favorite words of the movie.

Can we get a damn raise already? And some decent work trucks for the work group? These chilli wagons not gonna make it much further!

Employees are feeling the pain. People that are not boots on the ground have no clue how bad things are here.

It's not that I'm happy that the company isn't doing well. I am more frustrated because all this is happening due to long-term mismanagement. No one wants to work here anymore and it is clear that UP has a big problem hiring. However, again, those... — read more 

Everybody needs to realize and accept that. At the same time we were posting some of the best results in UP's history a few years ago we were having major layoffs. There was no need for it from the financial point of view but they wanted more... — read more 

That way I could have joined the railroad sooner and started making money. You don’t need an education to work here anyway.

Can’t see the plan working yet to keep people employed at UP. IT Telecom guy quit this week.

We're understaffed so much that the work is becoming increasingly more dangerous. Who do they think they are to expect me to risk getting hurt at work while receiving a joke of a raise that's four times under the inflation rate? AND while already... — read more 

Unfortunately, I had no other option and I desperately needed a job. That’s the only reason I applied here. I knew UP considered employees as a variable cost, but I couldn’t afford to be particularly picky. I guess that's the main reason most... — read more 

Looks like a shut down and strike for them. Greedy Class Ones are doing everything to get away from giving us a descent raise!

That’s why you got people telling people to eat cookies and drinks coffee to relax and think that’s good advice that will help anyone. Lay off 90% of them and most of the executives and hire more actual railroad workers to move freight, work on... — read more
