I was loaned out to kansas city all summer of 2001 <br />and i know all about what your talking about. <br />One thing is the guys you would have worked w/ are cool good guys that stick together.That said <br />they were trying 2 intimidate you,the up is in love w/ that style of management.They can't scare the old guys so they have to start w/ the new guys.I work for the up now and went through the same interview (i knew what was going 2 happen) before hand 4th generation UP EMPLOYEE here. <br />The guy you were talking about i think was mike if it is the same man...... in 98 the guy talked down to a black man at an interview and that man showed him a *** kicking of an woodshed nature. <br />Howard might have been the interviewer and when i talked to him in 2001 he had a one of the worst attitudes i have ever seen about a person in his line of work.The railroads all have the same style of management we know everything and you are our property.Every one i talk to in this company is the same, no one can think for theem selves not cause they can't they fear what will <br />happen to theem if someone disagrees w/ the choice they made.So no one is working towards the common goal.... witch should be safety and service to the customer.... You think the up is un professional you have the same view that the customers have .............the up stands or un professional... <br /> THE SAYING IS TRUE YOU THROW A FROG IN HOT POT IT'LL JUMP OUT BUTT TURN UP THE HEAT NICE AND EASY <br />AND YOU GOT FROG LEGGS FOR EVERYONE <br /> THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS PLACE HAVE THERE JOBS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT PLAUGE THE UP WHEN <br />THE MANAGEMENT RELIES ON THE PROBLEMS TO KEEP THERE JOBS... CAN THEY BE PART OF THE FIX????? <br />GOOD LUCK TERRY YOU MIGHT GET A CALL THE UP LOVES CALLING 8 9 MO AFTERWARD.I LOVE MY JOB AND THE GUYS AND GALS I WORK W/ BUTT,,, I HATE WHAT THE UP HAS DONE AND BECOME.... MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY HAVE WORKED FOR THE UP FOR 100 YEARS AND THIS USED TO BE A FAMILY AND I REMEMBER PLAYING IN THE BACK YARD W/ TIMEKEEPERS KIDS AND THE SUPERINTENDANTS <br />KIDS AND GOING W/ OUR MOTHERS TO PULL HIM AND MY FATHER OUT OF THE BAR MY DAD WAS A SWITCHMAN YOU WOULDN'T SEE THAT NOW DON'T PLAY W/ THE HELP <br /> <br /> <br />
