managements sole purpose is to protect their backsides for any and every failure dictated by them
This is true, it seems at CN if you are a manager and screw up you get a promotion, if you are a unionized employee you get fired. I have never worked for a company that spent so much money training you so they can find ways to fire you.
Looks like they whacked you chump - good riddance!
Another stellar review from The Terminated One!
This place totaly sucks aSS to work for us union workers who dont want to work very hard...don't do it if you're lazy like me! I have been with CN for 3yrs now, and the only reazon I stick around this place around is that the paycheck is fairly good for someone who does'nt have a high scholl diploma, and they have a penssion plan (if I make it that long). Even with the very good pay, they job is seriously dangerous, any day you could go to work and not return, they dont follow the union contract. I joined because I thought you didnt have to work when you were protected by the Union,but they are making me work anywayz.
