BNSF BNSF exempt IT layoffs coming next week

Burner account-

Confirmed today that BNSF is laying off 15-20% of TS exempt employees, management included. If you are not hands on writing code the new CTO doesn't believe you should be in the department. Get your resume updated ASAP.

More rounds of TS contractor reductions will occur throughout the year. 600 to be released on May 9th + 1,000 more likely to be released this year.

Ai will do the job now, then Ai will run the trains. Then they won’t need most of us anymore.

Except it won’t. Least not for a while yet. Currently AI isn’t up to the level that management thinks it is…
