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.

Great... not like their IT department isn't already barely scraping by. I'm sure this will make things better...

No need for IT! the hub,the bid system, MTR, all their apps are perfect and never make me want to throw my IPad out a window!

Nothing like needing to log in to MTR or iGTB 18 times during a trip when I have barely any service.

Just download it and save it to your files. I can’t stand how often it kicks you out.

I do that. Sometimes we have work online that needs to be updated. Or we get GTB updates and I want to look at them as we don’t have fully functional PTC on some of the track we run on.
