I love the job, hated the hour and 45 minute ride to work, on a GOOD day. thank you for worthless response!!!
Wake-up and smell the Coffee Mr Rail Nut, stick to a 9 to 5 job the railroad is definetly not for you. You should Listen to the trainmaster...
CSX Transportation definetly does not want you...CSX wants people that dont Sleep, Eat or think on there own and willing to Live in their car and not have a life. Dont even think of getting sick or wanting a day off..And the Money is not that great anymore anyway.
Have a nice day
I know plenty of people with a little time under their belts that have lives and they work for CSX so I would speak for yourself if that's your story. It certainly is not everyones story. I would think that if you work for CSX and have that kinda negative attitude about the place, one (such as myself) would wonder what keeps someone so miserable staying employed by the company who is their oppressor?
You dont even want to go there...... In my 8 yrs of Employment with Conrail/CSX I have accumulated like 30 Yrs Seniority Thats why. I have watched many New hires come and go..... Also I have been on Medical leave for over a year Now with a cronic Illiness. Im able to work according to a CSX Doctor But the company hopes I just fade away...Or Die. Ive been there ! Done that ! spent my time working my way up the ladder of 1 Seanic RR and 2 Short lines Just to get to where I "was" or shall I say am.
Well I got there spent my time as a Brakeman, Conductor working the Spareboard and answering Many a imaginary phone ringing in the middle of night. Worked 178 days straight without being able to get a day off and Have Bid my way time and time again to jobs and even finally Engineer School. And was Promoted to Engineer thank God with in 4 Years...Only to see My dreams go down the Tube with Illiness. But according to My Union I am able to hold a Regular job according to our agreement for the rest of My Time till I retire. but everyones Back is turned on the Railroad except for a lawyer...... And you want to know why im Miserable???
I will never give up for what I have worked for even when it has Cause in my Divorce, Illiness and current State of mind my LIFE.
So when a New guy with 3.5 months complains about the Call Time, never Being home and a Basicly a LIFE....What did you think it was going to be like working at a Amusement Park...We are there and have been in the same situations many of times....Wake Up you Had the experiance now its time to move on be thankful you found out what it is really like and you still have your family and all your limbs to come home too.....You asked Buddy
Uhhmm Thanks for the Venting.... Feels real gooooood
