Hunter refused to take a medical before signing on to CSX and the board hired him anyway.

Think about the employee and customer loss from the CSX board's bad decision!  Shareholders may never see dividends or stock appreciation.

True, but railroaders may now see work again.

With that huge hiring bonus, too. Stock down 8% so far today, although it has a lot of falling to do to wipe out "the Harrison blip". I wasn't a fan of CSX as either a RR or investment before Harrison, so as far as I'm concerned this is more of the same instability and questionable management practices.

I wonder if he caught an std from screwing so many people over.

I wonder if he caught an std from screwing so many people over.

When I hired on (caught the end of the Hunter era) I was asking what to bring in my grip... One answer I loved was "condoms cause you never know when the company will screw you..."

Wall Street Journal is also reporting it.

Wikipedia is also reporting his passing. No matter how we felt about him, his death is still a tough blow to his family. Say a prayer for his family.

Good.

Some people are just forces for "not good" in the world. The suffering of his family is outweighed by the suffering of those who he's screwed over.

The world is a better place today.

As the saying goes, I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.

As much as the man was an oxygen thief, I do feel for his family.

[delamaize]

Well, Maybe CSX will not die now....

[C855B]

Stock has been roughly unchanged since the 8% drop from the original medical leave announcement.

However, the plot thickens because of his passing: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171218005899/en/
