Transfering within CN

AllistonTrainMan · 07-19-2008, 05:14 PM

Hello everyone!

This site seems to be a place which has been hiding from me for such a long tme.

My question for anyone who might know, I work in Intermodal in Brampton. I've been trying to transfer to Transportation for what seems an eternity now. My biggest road block at the moment is my terminal manager. I'm waiting for him to sign a release so that I can actually finally go. Is there any work around this roadblock? Does anyone know if there is anyone I can speak to who can go over his head and force him into letting me go?

Any other help or advice would be appreciated!

Is it possbile for you to apply 'off the street'?

AllistonTrainMan · 07-19-2008, 08:14 PM

Yes and no. I have applied "off the street" but since it's through the company's website, they know who I am and won't review my resume until they get a release from my boss which is why I'm hoping I can find an alternative way to circumvent my bosses approval

Same thing basically, and he's the Senior Manager of Labour Relations.

It's not a matter of money..it's a matter of doing what I want to do...

Where are you from anyway?

I work in Champaign IL....and I understand it ain't about the money, its just a nice bonus

But like I said, some of the bosses just refuse to let anyone go....I have been trying for 3 years to transfer to signals or transportation and they just wont cut me loose.
