[RITSlist] Fw: Fw: Rock blue paint

[No17Eng654 at aol.com]

This issue really strikes a sensitive nerve to many of us former Rock  Island 
employees.  I personally despise the "bankruptcy blue" scheme.   I haven't 
heard too many people speak out publicly about this, but the mood is  right for 
a venting.
 
Most of us employees felt that placing the company in the color of the  Greek 
flag for the whims of John Mitros betrayed our hard work and heritage of  the 
Rock Island.  It reflected a disjointed and misdirected group of  outsiders 
who came in with an attitude that anyone employed prior to their  entrance were 
ignorant buffoons.  While some of them were intelligent, many  of them, 
including most of senior management, probably excluding Paul Banner,  felt that 
they had nothing to lose by imposing their ways on the people and  the line.  
They did some good things, but many stupid things, and  chased away the 
experienced and real railroaders in the Company.
 
They placed so many managers in roles far beyond their experience and  
understanding, and showed absolute distrust and disrespect for the veteran  managers 
and employees who wanted nothing more than success to a company  they truly 
loved.
 
Most of us who really cared about the Company were made to feel unwelcome  
and most of us left, knowing that they were going to eventually sink the ship  
with the help of some unbelievably stupid union leaders.  The money wasted  to 
protect their political asses was astounding.
 
The blue paint will always be synonymous with the Ingram bunch and the  
willingness of the unions to sell the employees down the river.
 
Strong letter to follow.
