Strike Vote 999

84% voted to reject the contract. No board imminent. There’s a fight coming.

No collaboration between departments

It is very problematic that different departments here are not working together for the same goal. Sometimes I feel like they are totally separate entities not even belonging to the same company. Why is that so? We used to collaborate very well... — read more 

The worst culture ever

I am not a confrontational person. I am still in touch with most of my colleagues at my previous job where I made many friends. What bothers me here is that despite everything, I can't have a decent relationship with my coworkers. I am not looking... — read more 

Enbridge was a great company

Maybe I wouldn't have complained if I didn't know what kind of company this used to be. But since I do know and can compare it to what it is today, I have many questions about how they managed to destroy Enbridge in such a short time? Unbelievable... — read more 

Working hard is pointless

Even if you are the best employee they will just use you to the maximum and then discard you like you never existed. It has been years since this place cared about anything other than $$$. At one point employees were respected, but that time is gone... — read more 

Honest question. How is ENB planning to retain talent? Raises are weak. Benefits are falling behind. Competition w hiring STEM workers is FIERCE

Is there a plan you think? Other than 'let's hope sh-t doesn't hit the fan and people jump ship'? My guess is that they will be reactionary. They will realize that talent is leaving and attracting new talent is getting harder by the day. So they... — read more 

Amazing opportunities out there

I have an interview scheduled for next week and I will do my best to get out of here. I was surprised at how much opportunity there is. I can't explain to myself why I have not tried to leave before. At the same time, I am surprised that some say... — read more 

Let's look at competitors

Isn’t it sad what Enbridge is doing to attract and retain talent, especially when compared to what competitors are doing? I sometimes wonder how Enbridge even manages to attract anyone talented here.

So long Enbridge

I might not know exactly yet what I want from my career, but I know what I don't want, and that's working here. Too much politics, too much backstabbing, and too few rewards for hard work. I'm not sure if my next job (which I start in March) will be... — read more

AB back to office

JK made bunch of covid relaxations obviously for his leadership review and the convoy. Enbridge jumped right in and announced back to work almost immediately. Covid deaths still going up and comparable to previous waves. But safety is our number one... — read more

It is what it is

Face it, your relationship with Enbridge is purely transactional. You sell them hours of your life and they give you money. End of story. If at any time Enbridge feels that they can continue on without you, you are gone. Treated with dignity and... — read more 

Workers? Gone. Managers? Still here.

I think Enbridge underestimate how expensive all those managers really are. Do we really need all those managers? I think most of them are totally unnecessary. People are constantly leaving here and it seems to me that at some point there will be... — read more 

I'm not sure what's the point anymore

I have no incentive to work hard anymore. I've lost all of my motivation the day I saw a brown noser who does nothing all day get promoted over several people who have been working hard the whole year with zero recognition. Apparently, to advance... — read more 

COVID APP

Have anyone been told by their people leader to complete the COVID app daily when they report sick day. Isn't that a violation of your rights if you do not have COVID or haven't been into contact with someone who is infected. Feedback appreciated. — read more

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?

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

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
