Today after having served close to 8 years at Norfolk Southern I have been told that I will be laid off permanently. This is the second time I have been laid off with NS. In 2016 I was laid off, as well as many others. Since then, we have been recalled, and worked nights and weekends in fear of losing our jobs at a moments notice. Morale has been at an all time low. Employees have seen millions of dollars invested into our work environment and record metric profits, yet we know the inevitable was yet to come. Analytical teams in Atlanta look at graphs and diagrams to decide fates of hard working family men and women. Our Senior General Foreman and District Manager of Mechanical Operations are laughing in a private conversation down the hall from 11 guys who were cut today. All of us sitting in shock and thinking of how to tell our families. Morale couldn't be lower.
In the dumps
Extremely low
extremely poor
Horrible, hostile
