Just curious if others have had a similiar hiring session experience with UP or any other RR that I had. I attended the session in KC in late August which was run by a completely unprepared UP Human Resources manager and a local manager who would be in charge of training. When the session first started the Terminal Manager for UP in KC was there and stated how undermanned the extra board for yard jobs was(they had 18 of about 100 projected workers). During the session our numbers dwindled from about 25 to 17 and having passed both the written and physical tests I felt pretty confident heading into my interview. Once again both managers seemed unprepared to interview and in fact were looking at the new corporate interview guide for the first time(I was the first interview). I didn't get a call for whatever the reason, but if they are so short on help, I can't really understand it. No background check was made at that time, and even if it had been would have come back clean. Is this really a good way to run a railroad? Any similiar experiences? Also, the local manager warned several times about different safety or work violations which he would "fire us on the spot for" (without us even having the job yet!!), pretty professional, huh? Terry
