I know for a fact a list of people to be laid off!!!! Someone should definitely post it here!!!! You know who you are….
I’m a contract worker.
I know my odds are low of making it out of this layoff still with a job. I was hopeful to get a permanent spot at Enbridge within my group, but now I certainly am not. It’s sad to feel my career at Enbridge is likely over without it ever truly... — read more

Have an employment lawyer and an accountant ready
Should you receive the unfortunate news of being let go. First thing you need to do is take your notice to an employment lawyer. Second thing would be line up an accountant to ensure all your bases are covered in terms of taxes and other fees... — read more
What metric is being used?
I am interested in understanding how Enbridge will decide which staff to let go vs the staff they choose to keep. Union or non-union. Is it performance based? Is it input from Supervisors, Managers, etc.? Is it roll of the magic 8-ball? If it's... — read more

Health/Dental Benefits After Layoff
Does anyone know if they extend health and dental benefits ,by any amount of time (?), after they lay you off? Do you have time to get one last dental visit or refill prescriptions, etc?

Speak to a reputable employment lawyer before signing anything
If they are only offering you what your local government regulations stipulate the minimum severance is you could potentially be entitled to more. Even after the lawyer's cut it could be worth it.
Yammer circlej--k
Does anyone else feel like Yammer is beyond fake and full of the most kiss-as--s in our fine organization? I can’t even read it anymore at this point.
How will the union respond
We know there's no layoffs before letting contractors go per the CBA. Plus, we know Enbridge are a formidable anti-union organization. So who wins? The irresistible force or the immovable object?
Why a month's notice?
Someone, please explain the thought process for today's email. I'm all for transparency but to put everyone on high alert for the next month? Lots of people were already super anxious, and now even those who were blissfully unaware are panicked. — read more
this is not going to be the only round of layoffs
I cannot say where I got this from because doing so may tip off who I'm getting from that they're doing something wrong. there is a reason why uncle greg in his email this morning did not rule out further layoffs. the company is anticipating a higher... — read more

Director Meetings
Are any other departments meeting with their directors today?
Criteria
Looking for an honest answer, what exactly is the criteria for choosing the people to let go? Has anyone been involved at some level and can share?
Toxic TIS
I wish I could volunteer for a layoff…ready to move onto something else and get out. The environment in TIS is as toxic as it gets especially with a Director who bullies employees!
Well 650 isn’t that big, wonder if there will be a phase 2.
Yeah a little underwhelmed
Don’t believe the hype- Job market is tough
I know people looking for one YEAR and cannot get a comparable job with equal pay and benefits. The closest is 20% less. Are you hearing the same thing?
Well??? What’s the word?
Well??? What’s the word?
Bridging to Retirement
Any word if there will be any bridging to retirement? Previous reductions had some bridging to retirement for employess that were older than 55.

Is it next week or end of Feb?
Any more news about the layoff date?
Place is a joke and the union is terrible.
What a push over place to work. Management is brutal and the union is a joke. Everyone is scared to stand up to either. Thanks to the few that will and have. We all see you
Is it worth sticking with Enbridge?
Joined TIS/Enbridge 3+ years ago and feel disillusioned most days. Cant believe the amount of politics people indulge in. Have met/worked with a few nice people but that’s more an exception than a rule. No sense of belonging or camaraderie. Not sure... — read more

Get rid of the slew of middle management and advisors

I got a job offer last week
It's a 25 percent increase to my current compensation. That's what helped me realize how underpaid I am at Enbridge. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I accepted, of course, and I'll be gone before the end of January. I would advise each of you to start... — read more
Who is getting hit?
Does anyone know which departments are facing the axe? Im in AR&I in the GTA and we’ve usually been rather immune to these workforce reductions. I’m hearing this time will be different.
When is the big day?
Anyone have any idea when the layoffs are scheduled to happen? We sense that it will be very soon. Will it be voluntary or involuntary? A mix of both?
If no COLA is added to pay increases …. Many will say cya.
So many coworkers I speak with are so unhappy with salaries here. Enbridge states their salaries are market based is absolutely not matched for most positions in the industry. After 3% pay cut in 2020 when times were bad, but when things turned good... — read more
