re: Railroad retirement

Well i know union pacific managers have a better retirement plan than te&y(train,engine and yard) employees. But there health care plan sucks.
My advice to u is try to get into the transportation side asap. Managers come and go on the rr. Bc if they make a mistake, the carrier(norfolk southern, union pacific) can fire them anytime they want. If i get fired i get my job back. Managers with u.p. have a average lifespan of five years.
Now on the other side, if u want a long carreer as a manager, u got to b the biggest a-hole on the rr. Write as many ppl up as u can, try to fire everybody. If ur a nice guy by nature, ur screwed.
So u can c why the train crews hate managers, they r always tryn to fire them.

Buy some company stock! When you think you have bought too much, buy some more. UP is one of the best long term stocks out there. I am assuming you can get it at a discount.

I've also heard that I have to be an a-hole
My Brother-in-Law has been a trainmaster for KCS for about 10 years and he doesn't seem like that much of an a-hole
