Our major railroads have begun instituting retention boards and unnecessary callbacks in an attempt to stem the tide of employees who are quitting while furloughed. I'm supposed to be back at work within a week or so. Hopefully, NZs railroads will adopt similar measures, assuming they haven't already.
Good luck, fellow railroader  |
James, what are you doing for work now? Weren't you in school or something?
