-Since the arrival of CEO Steve Angel, employee experience has deteriorated rapidly -Abruptly forced return to office 5 days a week with ~2 months' notice after being successfully fully remote for 5 years -Employee benefits have been steadily reduced. Discontinuation of the Well-being Reimbursement Account (WRA) and elimination of the Student Loan Repayment Program -Promotions are difficult unless you’re on teams with the right funding and executive attention -Upper management frequently makes short-sighted, cost-cutting decisions that ignore long-term impact on employees and systems -High CEO turnover pattern. Leaders come in, cut costs aggressively, then leave -Frequent layoffs and continued uncertainty about further cuts -Employees are stretched thin across many critical systems with limited backfill -Overall employee morale is low and trending downward -Hard to recommend CSX leadership to someone actively seeking stability and growth
