Supervisors playing games on their phones all day and disciplining employees for cold weather breaks.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

We have a “safe” railroad pension

What are some of the best things about your team?

My fellow union employees are very knowledgeable and can move freight safely and efficiently, which should be Norfolk Southern’s main priority.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

We have too many supervisors. The problem is that to justify their own job, they find anything they can to discipline union employees.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Supervisor’s need to let employees do their jobs. Discipline doesn’t need to be a daily occurrence. Threats of layoffs are not good for the work environment.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Negativity is everywhere. It starts with supervision. It trickles down to the employees. Supervisors “score cards” that determine their bonuses are always a topic of supervisors. Too many supervisors. Micromanagement slows the movement of freight.
