They know they own you - Operations Manager Union Pacific Employee Review

They own you and know it. You are expected to drop everything in life at any time, day or night, to accommodate the railroad’s need. The entire job is micromanaged. Very poor leadership. Constant discipline threats, gruelling conference calls where nobody can escape being belittled. Way too much on our plates with very little value added from our required activities. Forced to meet quota of efficiency testing failures each month. Pay isn’t that great anymore. Recent raises and bonuses have not kept up with cost of living. Brand new union employees make more than management.
