I was in engineering and got let go last week. I got a severance and was hired by a consultant to do my same job as a MIPP before the end of the week with a 20% pay increase. All of my coworkers got the same deal. Apparently UP thought it'd be better to pay consultants to do that job at a premium.
I'm not sure how this fits into UP's plan but, thanks Jason, Eric and Lance. You're doing great!
i hope i get laid off at this point. nasty environment here now and i could probably get a raise leaving just like the others here.
but i'm too much of a chicken sh-- to change jobs on my own. its been indicated to me i specifically shouldn't be worried right now and normally that would comfort someone but it just disappointed me at this point
That’s awesome. I would sell the stock and invest in a startup called NIO....suppose to rival Tesla!!
Congrats! I hope all who separate are as fortunate and bounce back as quickly as you guys!
6 months severance, prorated stock, bonus and vacation $100k+ as a level 18. - Not having to work at UP, priceless.
Engineering department is greedy. They want production gangs to exceed goal but yet offer no incentive. Constant threats of being cut off if goals aren’t exceeded is their way of achieving what they want.
News flash!!! It’s not working anymore. Cut every gang off who cares. You want production, we want more time off and production bonuses!!!
You get a bonus because of our hard work. Not anymore!!
We can make you look good or look bad. Cards are in our hands not yours. All we have to do is our job safely.
How much was the severance?
