Posted by randyo on Sun Nov 9 15:31:06 2014, in response to Re: (R) train service still sucks, posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Sun Nov 9 04:14:08 2014. Actually, in terms of trainmaster salary vs “manager” salary, the line manager is a lot costlier than the trainmaster used to be. Also in order to become a trainmaster, a supervisory employee in a qualifying title had to demonstrate actual knowledge of the job before advancing to that position rather than the current method of sucking up to the right people to get the promotion. Supposedly when Gunn/Kiley made the change to replace trainmasters and similar titles with managers it was felt that upper level supervisors and semi managers coming from the ranks of the unions would be more sympathetic to their subordinates. I actually find the opposite to be true since upper level supervisors and such having come from the rank and file know what can be done and who is goofing off and who isn’t much more easily than a so called manager fresh out of college who only knows what a subway train looks like from seeing a picture of one in his/her textbook! |
