Thread regarding Union Pacific Corp. layoffs

Up is just like any other employer

Up is just like any other employer...and they always have been since their inception. Just like any company, you get paid what you work. As far as the mechanical department (which I was apart of) its pays equal to or just a tad less compared to the trades the men and women are skilled in. All companies are in business to make money, cut down on over head and to give customers what they are purchasing no matter what the long term is. The world doesnt see UP as the big bad guy, in fact, most people could care less about em. Just another mismanaged company like thae rest out there. There's plenty of work options so dont rely or get married to any one copany nowadays..just do you and make your bank account and life how you choose because there isnt a co.pany out there that cares what you have saved or your familys needs....

Have a good day brothers

I bet if employees at other companies was to go on a wildcat strike they wouldn’t have the federal government come down on them like at the railroad ! I would think there is a difference.

UP used to care about its employees. They are not now like every other company. Some are great and some are not. UP was great, but Lance gave in to the jackals.

@men: Telling people they either won't be promoted or won't have a job at all unless they move is forcing them to move. UP does this all the time.

Maybe you should check again.

Last time I checked they don’t force you to relocate. You do it to keep a job. If it’s so bad they why would you relocate.

No. UP is not just like any other employer.

No other private sector employer will require you to work 16/24/36 hour shifts routinely, call you at all hours of the day or night, constantly threaten and attack your livelihood, deny vacation/sick time, force you to work holidays, and force you to relocate with little/no notice, all for average pay and mediocre benefits.

Add to all of that the psychotic level of toxicity in the daily work culture and you have (according to credible ratings) the third worst employer in the United States. Even McDonald's employees have higher levels of satisfaction with their jobs.

The original poster has obviously never worked at UP. Apparently UP is now sending their shills to spam this site as they have with Glassdoor and Indeed.
