Is working as a conductor for CN that bad?

currently in IT but am not able to WFH and the pay isn’t amazing. I can travel and take days off when needed but having to worry about downtime or hackers 24/7 (after going through an attack) is starting to wear down on me.

CN is hiring in my GFs town and I’m thinking of moving to work as a conductor.

I feel like it’ll be a big adjustment moving out of a city and being on the spareboard for who knows how long?

I’m aware the hours are crap and the company hates you, but besides that how bad is the job? it’s a road terminal so it seems like most days are just 8-10 hours in a char at ungodly hours?

if you get laid off how long is it before you’re called back?
