I’ve known numerous family family members in similar situations. But yours seems to take the cake so far. Sorry to hear the company has [BLEEP] on their “#1” assets. Keep your chins up. Caldrac, you’re obviously younger. Maybe keep your eye out for other companies hiring for your skill set. No sense being miserable. No sense working to solely pay the bills. You’ve gotta enjoy life while working man.

Wife's got our first one on the way. Due in April. My focus is just on getting the house ready for him. Support my wife. All that good stuff.

I am not really stressed. Its just frustrating if anything. I don't mind the work. I love the job. I love the grind. It's just the environment like Rico pointed out.

Feels like we're in limbo hell and it's a matter of hurry up and wait. There's a lot of great people there that are close to retirement or hanging on and I have been working with some of them since I was 19 years old.

It's been 12 years. Up's and down's like any place. But I take a lot of pride in where I work at. It's a legacy for me. Means a great deal being a 3rd generation railroad employee to me. I want to keep it that way.

Thankfully my house is affordable. Stole it before the market picked back up in favor of the bankers and lenders. If I get [BLEEP] canned I can at least breath knowing my mortgage is beyond affordable and I can work any job that I have to in order to get by.

I just miss having some free time is all. I miss fishing with my old man. Miss bull [BLEEP] with my two younger brothers. Miss mom's cookin" on Sunday's. Just hard to make time for them when you're working for a place that doesn't give a [BLEEP] about you. They don't want to get to know you.

I get it. It's a corportaion. We're just a "body' at the end of the day. But the tension is there. It's like working in a giant fish tank now. It's empty as hell. Lifeless. Bothers a lot of us. We're just all kind of waiting our turns to get [BLEEP] over like everyone else.
