Joanna, I hope you're reading this. Please set up a go fund me. I'm glad to donate while you're looking for a new job. I'll spearhead a donation drive for workforce resources. F Beth. I'd put good money that you were chosen because of your condition. Totally wrong
What makes me very angry I know how people are picked and it cant be prove for a lawsuit . I can assure you they looked and her realized she was a liability and they let her go knowing it could end her life. They would have laughed about it and said we did the right thing for UP. Corporate greed is going to kill everything we know as normal.
I would donate to a go fund me account for her.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has happened. A lady who was going through cancer was let go during Lance's first layoff in 2015. She passed away in 2018.
Very sad I can’t imagine the stress this poor lady and her family are going through. There will be a special place in the after life for these heartless acts of unkindness towards those that are powerless against these greedy devils!
Lance cares about the “UP family.” I’m sure he asked his team to make it right, perhaps they will send her a personalized video talking about why PSR had to happen, how to remain positive and then have jimbo and jumbo bring her a little something from edible arrangements, which jimbo would make jumbo pay for it, if jumbo paid for it, jumbo gonna sample the goods.
Lance Fritz reveals an easily identified dupers delight smirk when talking. It doesn’t matter the subject. A number of employees approved this termination knowing her situation. It isn’t easy going against power, let alone evil power when others depend on you, but this lady needed a voice. The executive team at Union Pacific is a disgrace to mankind. Lance, you know nothing of compassion or how to lead. Disgusted.
Our prior great CEO, Mr. Jim Young, would not have allowed the firing of this employee. He was tough and expected nothing but the best from his employees, but I met him a few times and firmly believe that he had a heart. Times have obviously changed with the current CEO, executives, and at least the upper management at UP. It is sad, and Young is certainly looking down with tears in his eyes.
I was walked out after over 20 years of service so I understand at least a small part of the pain that is so evident in this news article. But this is just absolutely heartless. The compassion level of UP executives is absolutely zero at this point. Back in my day, there were tough times, and we did have to release some employees, I was even reluctantly a part of it. But there is absolutely no way that I would have given an employee a bonus and raise one day and fired her the next, especially when she is fighting cancer and a single mother. Instead, I would have offered a chunk of my pay and would have rallied my coworkers to do the same in order to protect her job. The executives and management at UP that are orchestrating these type of heartbreaking stories should be ashamed.
So sad how UP has started treating their employees.” Forgive them for they know not what their doing!”
