100% sure there will be an incident in 2022
Lakeside can't do the job. The OEB must step in. We have had many close calls. If this continues we will have an incident with injuries or fatalities soon. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens before the end of Q2.
No more Tim Horton’s oh no!!! USR
No more sitting at Tim Hortons for 3 hours a day with Covid. What will Burt and Ernie do without Tim’s at Y&V?? While Lakeside takes your meters and on call….do you have no shame?
Not so Flexwork + high inflation without a raise to match..
Anyone else thinking of finding a new job that offers real flexibility and proper inflation adjusted pay? After bonus is paid.. of course.
What I learned about performance ratings
Years ago I used to go the extra mile, put in the extra hours, and even earned an exceptional performance rating. My reward? a 1% merit. Then I still kept my nose to the grindstone, put in the extra effort, made significant changes to how my... — read more
Napkin math..
Enbridge profits around $500k per employee. This is almost double the average of the large North American energy corps. Last 4 quarter net income of around $6b. Around 11-12k employees.. 500k a pop. Every employee should know this number.
FLEXWORK
Shouldn’t a work program called “FlexWork” actually be flexible? Just a thought
LP STIP
That LP STIP email this afternoon was absolute dog s-h-i-t. I don’t know what LP has to do to get a decent stip rating but that’s ridiculous.
There's a good reason for current attrition
The attrition is worse than it has ever been for a very good reason. Enbridge has turned into a dysfunctional mess where the lazy get ahead and hard workers get the shaft. Anybody who can find a new job has already found it or is busy looking. I... — read more
Nepotism
Nepotism has become very apparent at Enbridge. When I see what is happening and how some candidates are being picked, it seems to me that all my efforts are in vain. Very demotivating! However, I do not believe that the situation in other companies... — read more
Let's unionize Lakeside!
How can we make this happen?
Incompetent middle management
I was at Enbridge 5 years. I believe that was too long. In those 5 years, I completed some of the most challenging and high impact projects, but when it came to advancement opportunities, I watched how middle management chose candidates based on... — read more
What is Customer Attachment/Connections’ Future?
Enbridge announce they were centralizing the clerks and coordinators to the TOC in early 2022. Very sad for many people in the regions. They have been outsourcing unionize LEG Field Rep work to an outside contractor. They claim it’s to help with... — read more
The worst mistake is to stay here too long
If I could turn back time, I would never stay here longer than a year. That is enough even for the most sceptical ones to realize that this is not a company for them, if they had any talent, will to learn and wanted to progress and be valued. I... — read more
Enbridge dodging responsibilities with corporate shell game
TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2021 /CNW/ - Unifor Locals at Enbridge Gas Inc. have filed an application at the Ontario Labour Relations Board and filed a grievance in order to defend bargaining unit rights after learning that Enbridge Inc. is contracting out... — read more
Considering an IT position…
I’m considering an IT position at Enbridge. What is IT like there? Interested in opinions from people that have worked at other companies before Enbridge, especially Oil & Gas majors and smaller Midstream players.
I can't say much good about Enbridge
No matter how hard I try and try, I can no longer find any good things to say to someone considering looking for a job here. My opinion is that this is no longer a place to gain initial experience, because new hires can only create aversion to their... — read more
Leave if you can
I did two months ago and I'm so much happier now. You don't realize how bad the situation really is until you start working somewhere else and you start noticing that the things you had accepted as normal (like verbally abusive managers) are not the... — read more
Employee ratings
How true is that people leaders have to rate employees? A colleague mentioned and it determines who gets selected for promotion and maybe layoffs.
SCM Department is the Biggest Sh!tshow!
Things haven't changed. Toxic people everywhere. Middle managers still lacking leadership skills. Hiring quality continues to go down.
Lakeside taking over
In the ok'd UG east, lakeside is starring January with all residential meter work and primary oncall. From the areas already that had this done to them, what can we expect? Was the role out for our employees to dig work smooth? Is the commercial... — read more
Your experiences with HR?
OK, certainly that HR exists there to protect the interests of the company, and less to protect the employees, however, how do they protect the interests of the company if they do not protect their best employees in any way? I pretty much knew that... — read more
Bitter truth
All leadership cares about is the value of our stock price. This is a business and the business DOES NOT CARE about people. Everyone is here for the same reason - To make money. That is the only motivating factor here. People’s work will continue to... — read more
Lay offs
Funny how lay offs are in small numbers so it doesn't make the papers.
Why? Why is that?
Why do they always promote people whose position greatly exceeds their capacities? Rare are those who are promoted and really deserve it. Are they afraid of more competent people in higher positions or what? I get the impression that they are... — read more
This company needs real leaders
Leaders, meaning those who motivate, have a clear vision, value people and know how to use their potentials, not bosses who only care about being above someone and making lots of money. This company has long been without real leaders, which it... — read more
Learn and grow: your experiences?
Of course, I didn't think this was the best of all companies, but I thought I would be able to learn a lot more stuff here than I've learned in the last year and a half since I came here. Enbridge is one big disappointment.
There is a reason for that
There is a reason why there are more bullys in some companies (as is the case in Enbridge) and fewer in others. This is not because a company mysteriously brings together people of a similar character and behavioral patterns, but it is because the... — read more
Treatment of women
Why is it that the big (and little) boys at Enbridge continue treat women so poorly? Despite everything we’ve been through. I guess it’s because they can. No one stops them.
Happier, wealthier, healthier
I haven't heard of any people who are unhappier, poorer and more stressed out now that they've left this company. I'm sure that some are, probably not many, but they don't really talk about it. I have a friend who now has a higher pay but is also... — read more
Latest layoffs news
If you've heard anything, please share.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Appears that because I’m a big bad union employee, this stat holiday will not be paid. No problem, but I wonder what my indigenous union brothers think when we have to work that day. All this cr-p about how Enbridge cares and supportive is total... — read more
$3.2M in penalties
I'm a little worried that the penalties and repairs that Minnesota regulators have determined that Enbridge must pay, in some way do not affect us ordinary workers.... Thoughts? Do you think it actually might affect us or that there is no reason to... — read more
Everything is a mess here
I'm won't be leaving because of vaccinations, but I'll be definitely leaving because of many other things. It’s amazing how this company functions at all, considering there’s a mess here everywhere. I have never worked in a more dysfunctional company... — read more

Is safety, integrity and respect important to Enbridge ELT - my answer is NO
If safety was top priority Work from home would be a continued option during the pandemic, not coercion into either vaccine, test or termination. Safety statistics would not be on the scorecard, as that is sending conflicting information. ... — read more
Hypothetically speaking,
I don't think a lot of people will quit if they make vaccination mandatory. What do you think?
Mandatory vax poison
How many will refuse to provide their medical status if they implement mandatory policy. Anyone going to fight it legally? Huge infringement on human rights here
