No wonder UP is shorthanded

I sat through a hire-session and couldn't believe the approach/language/style.I know Railroads want to portray an accurate perspective of the job requirements/work conditions,and I give them an A+ for their effectiveness and honesty.I left the session mid-way,like many.I'll paraphrase some comments screamed from the employment specialists during session:"you will work when no one else wants to work...you will work at night when it's cold and rainy...you will work every holiday...you will miss your children's birthday party,little league game etc..you will work 12 hours,sleep 6 hours,and be called back for duty,14 days in a row...If you miss two calls,you will be terminated...violate a rule and you're gone.It was unbelieveable,but I knew they were being honest and accurate.I didn't get an initial interview, and I want to take this time to thank them for recognizing an individual who realized that endentured servitude ceased many years ago. I challenge all to list jobs that are worse than the operating jobs on today's railroads. <br />
