"WATCH OUT people... before you apply for mechanical department read this message. This company had tons of money and so powerful. If you are white with lack of education, working reckless and kiss management ass then you are very easy to go up very quick. If you are Black probably they dare not touch you. If you are Latino you got to know who you go with. If you are Asian, be prepared to work your ass out, don't ever think about to move up. Because most management mentally is most Asian people came from third world country and they don't need to deserve same like in US or their work place, some times they mention to you, "Does your country have these opportunities?""

"Lack of meritocracy in a bureaucracy, double standard, dishonest, retaliation (they are specialized), wasting company's money to hire/promote ineptitude brown nosers including embezzlement managements, even embezzlement regional manager (IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF MANAGEMENT ARE WORKING AT THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD). "WATCH OUT" management been trained or/and adapted to be very good at manipulation and retaliation. Management are micro nitpicking, force falsify violations ETE ("E"mployee "T"ragic "E"xercises) tickets to mainly "TARGETED" craft people and some other craft people (some other craft people are just for shows company reliably) made sure those craft peoples are bad, reckless/unsafe, finally they created to fire those craft people with all bad records (because they lost a lot of business, instead of lay you off by seniority {most places already lay off} they created ETE tickets to fire targeted craft people). In other hand they are very safe, protected company/managements. The truth is they are the one made craft people unsafe situation and/or used craft people. But craft people can't give them ETE tickets back to management (that is one example of showing totally "UNFAIR TREATMENT" for safety). Or if you do other way around to express your concerns, you will be first hit list and management will make sure you will be going down and down, used with all their (company) wealth and power (believed or not, this is true stories). Message to UP... if you took other people's job willfully (by races, discrimination, retaliation; health, etc.,), karma will take your jobs too (now happening on coal and other). That means "JUSTICES DENIED, KARMA TAKE THE RIDE". Question is: have your management "WILLFULLY" (by races, discrimination, retaliation, health; etc.,) fire, demote or made financially miserable to other people? Because your businesses is losing""UNEXPECTEDLY" like coal business, there are some other more."
