[QUOTE="MisplacedRailWorker, post: 4886238, member: 67466"] For those of you who don’t know me let me introduce myself: I’m a Texan raised in South Florida My first job at a big company was at age 17 driver helper for UPS in lower Manhattan. From there I became a loader in 177 and advanced to regular Tuesday to Saturday driver… Resigned in 2017. From there I followed what I believe was the career meant for me and hired on with the now-defunct railroad called Conrail. I was a simple brakeman, basically a yard jockey whose sole job was to spin handbrakes on 120 rail cars every shift. Hiram Norfolk Southern has a Conductor and now it’s CSX again after a brief hiatus when Amtrak hired me in February 2020… Offer was rescinded just one week into training due to COVID-19 hiring limitations, we all got the boot and then 20% of current employees at Amtrak were laid off. I have some military no real college just a couple of credits at an online university, for those of you who know me: The next time I get laid off from the railroad… I think I’ll take my hand at joining the ranks of UPS again. but this time, and I never in my wildest dreams thought I would say this, my calling might be to become a member of management… Those of you who know me on here know me to be human with a little bit of baggage; but nothing more than you can check for free on Amtrak. Having done this job, although not nearly as long as most, who believes I could be the one who makes a difference? An advocate for the working man. [/QUOTE]
