I've started limiting myself to one square of UP toilet paper per bathroom break. As a bonus I'm no longer using the soap and water either.

I spend all day at work, but only actually do work 55% of the time.
We're donating our salaries, healthcare and retirement! GO G55!
I've stopped charging the mobile work order devices at our terminal to ensure we're all a good steward of our electrical power expenses. They can't squawk about poor reporting numbers if the devices weren't functioning can they?? I hope my scorecard isn't affected by these cost saving measures -- I should actually be promoted for my innovative strategy to reach G55.
I no longer use the computer or programs and handwrite everything on the back of used computer paper and I bring my own pencil too. The used computer paper is great for toilet paper too which I tote home in my used plastic bags from my grocery store shopping. Need to blow my nose? Used computer paper. Dry my hands? Used computer paper. Notes? Used computer paper.
I stopped using the toilet altogether, and just do my business outside! I also use the available pine cones and leaves, for that deep clean during the wipe! I still shut off the work lights for cost concerns! They really use a lot of electricity in the shops! I just feel around until I bump into something! It's been working so far! I use spare bolts for ear plugs, because the company approved ear plugs cost too much! If something needs to be cleaned out of a locomotive, I use pond water to clean control stands! It's sanitary right?
I work in engineering, in order to save money on material we've stopped using ties, rail or ballast. It's been a big savings so far.
I urinate in a can at my desk . I wear only socks in the summer, so can save on the A/C G55 here we come. Can’t wait to share in the big money saved come 2020. Huge bonuses for the 60-70% who actually remain.
My job requires me to travel a lot to meet with customers. Gas and car rentals are a big expense. So now when I fly into an airport, I never leave the terminal. I just fly straight back to Omaha.
I've stopped donating to FFEG and any Charity through UP so they don't have to match my donation. C'mon 55!
I come in early, stay late, take no lunch breaks nor do I drink water or coffee provided and advocate no frills no spills pertaining to liquids. I also do not flush toilets except for #2s which I no longer take during working hours. I take home my own trash too.
I've stopped answering emails and phone calls in order to save electricity.
