Sometimes I’m really interested in whether those at the top visit this site to see how their employees think, or perhaps they are not interested in our opinion at all.

Suffice it to say that I was shocked to learn that a colleague who was looking for a job was recently given an option but decided to stay here anyway. I cannot give any explanation other than a typical case of Stockholm syndrome. As people have... — read more

3 mgrs caught fake testing an remote crew. Omaha audited the ordeal resulting in suspension pending termination for 3 field mgrs

The Omaha geniuses terminated the guys that had been FG longer than 365+ in my service unit, those remaining in FG have refused the recall letter rather than have their lives disrupted again. Good job Omaha, keep paying all those shoves.

Heard that they are calling back electrician and are having a hard time finding anyone wanting to come back?

I was laid off in 2019 and had some connection with PTC. It wasn’t working very well when I was there. Has it improved at all since then? Just curious.

Serious question. UP doing the heavy lifting for them. Also, is there ever a draft day where some of these guys busted down to the minors can try out for the majors again?
