Only a few directors and above to service the robotic drone workforce. OR is the Company almost at this BORG LIKE stage..... just needs a super robust ERP.
Stress leave?
Just curious about what some thoughts are around taking stress leave. Is it a career k–ler? Is it a good idea? I’m miserable, I don’t want to spend my time in this dysfunctional workplace anymore. My sanity is on the line. I don’t know how much more... — read more
Who will be the scapegoat?
Someone’s head will roll. Should start at the top for buying Spectra’s POS infrastructure to start with. But the bosses will find somebody else to blame. No names. Roll or department will do. It will be done before preliminary NTSB comes out.
Texas Eastern pipeline Just blew up in Kentucky one k--led
Safety used to be a big thing at Spectra, but the dividend comes first. Did Enbridge outsource the pipeline Integrity program or just do some cost savings by putting off inspections??? Let’s just give out stock options to the dead’s family and those... — read more
Should Al be BOEF’d
Seriously. Spectra acquisition is a disaster. Line 5 going to be shut down. Can’t finish line 3. Sandpiper and Northern Gateway flushed millions down the toilet. Share price dropping like a rock again.
Unionize
I hate saying this, as I've been on both sides before and dont have anything good to say about unions. However, I think as a collective group, we should start this conversation. Might seem too late for a couple areas, but it's gone past the point of... — read more
Employee Engagement Survey
Results from the employee engagement survey Enbridge earlier in the year are starting to flow out to the various business units and functional areas. I’m getting the impression that senior leaders are not taking the poor results seriously because... — read more
Brantford and Thunder Bay Contact Centres
So what are thoughts or facts on whether or not Contact centres will be outsourced to Accenture? Will it happen, and if so when? Want truth or facts. Thoughts??????
Boondoggle
Any groups come to mind?
Stand Up for Safety
I've attended all the Stand Up for Safety events over the years, and this last one was an utter pile of c-ap. In the Spectra days, these events were meaningful and focused on stories. There would be many people in the room tearing up over the moving... — read more
Lawsuit claims Ford targeted older employees during recent job cuts
I wonder if all the old guys that were fired the first few go around should get together and work on this like the ford guys are doing

New Layoffs coming in next 60 days?
Can anyone please confirm.
Why are so many people quitting?
Is it just me, or are more people than ever leaving Enbridge? Is this a reaction to the latest reorganization? Have people finally had enough?
Moving jobs to Chatham
How can we move more jobs to Chatham?
The virtues of modern plumbing
It’s been a while since I posted about how much I hate Corporate Enbridge, so here’s the latest thing that made me LOL with disgust... does anyone else find it hilarious that Inc. is going around talking-up their innovative and groundbreaking Uber... — read more
Layoffs
Look like layoffs are finally over after 2.5 yrs of pounding. any more to come?
Would you go back?
The board has been dead for a while, so here's a topic - To the people who got laid off, would you ever go back to Enbridge if the job offer was good? Are there any current Enb employees who got laid off in the past? I was laid off some time ago, but... — read more
Enbridge Gas Layoffs & Restructuring
Now that everyone has had a chance to digest the changes, how are you feeling?
Female supervisor roles
Enbridge moved a number of employees into supervisor roles this past week. They also moved a number of female supervisors out of frontline leadership roles. They advertise that they are a diverse company and encourage females to apply for these roles... — read more
160 People at EGD let go yet top Exec see 48% Increase
Makes me sick. Al made over $12M US in 2017 with stock prices below $40 and 160 people let go in Ontario to get savings for Union merger. http://quote.morningstar.ca/Quicktakes/Insiders/ExecutiveCompensation.aspx?t=ENB
What were the raises?
What were raises in Your BU. Here in Edmonton we garnered around 3 percent.
Funny
It’s funny how there are so many posts and rumours before anything happens, then when it does like last week when 100 people were walked out it is relatively quiet on here. That just proves how many people who post on here just do it to stir things... — read more
When is the next round?
I wish they would just get it over with so we can know where we stand. Regarding the rumors of layoffs by the end of March, I wanted to ask have they started already and if no is there any more precise info on when they could happen?
What positions are eliminated?
I see people reporting that the explanation for their layoff is mostly that their position is being eliminated. So what positions are we talking about?
Weird management structure
I think a lot of the frustrating things that happen at Enbridge are caused by the weird management structure. The ratio of few people who actually do work vs people leaders is wacky. Managing 3-4 people does fill an entire 8 hour day, so to try to... — read more
Walk out Wednesday hits VPC
It’s here. It’s happenening. Let the show begin. Let’s face it folks - no matter how knowledgeable you are, how great a leader you have been, how much you have contributed to the business AND how much importance you place on employee morale - these... — read more
March 20
I heard customer Care is being hit today! Anyone got information? I heard of two people so far in Thunder Bay????
Forcing us to quit
It feels to me like Enbridge is intentionally fostering a nearly unbearable work environment for us to make us quit on our own. It's like they want to cut a certain number of people but don't want to pay severance if they can avoid it. I could just... — read more
Finish the joke
A UGL employee, an EGD employee and member of SMT walk into a bar..... P.S. lighten up folks they can take away your jobs, but they cannot take you FREEDOM.
Any layoffs reported this week?
If there were layoffs i would like to know what locations and how many people. Sure hope that the rumor that the layoffs would happen in this week wasn't true. Don't see any people posting, so that should be a good sign.
81% say yes to srtike!
I don't believe that!
Cannot focus at all and today was a VERY BAD day !
Since the announcement of the EGD and UG merging and the expected job losses I have been unable to focus on work. I find my mind constantly wanders to what will I do if I lose my job. I have 3 children and my wife does not work and she has developed... — read more
Customer Care?
Does anyone know what type of cuts are coming for customer care? Is it just at management level for job cuts or is everyone just guessing?
Strike vote in.
The strike vote is 81% for Unifor 8833.
Wave 2 Enbridge Gas Inc. layoffs
Hearing next week- these things usually seem to happen on Wednesday, so likely the 20th? This would be layoffs for the departments in the former Union Gas and EGD units that haven’t been hit yet.
Strike?
So any vote yet on a strike? I hear there were some negotiations last week for the north? Anyone know if strike vote happened in the south?
The ones who had left are probably happy and the ones still hanging in there are just pretending to be happy
The management probably like it anyway because when they hire new people they pay them less so don’t expect to get replacement that actually knows how to do the job. Besides new hires who have no idea yet of a politically infested, low morale... — read more
More people leaving on their own
So many people are leaving Enbridge, and the replacements that we are getting - in those rare situations when they actually bring in replacements - have no idea how to do the jobs they were hired to do. Why isn't the company doing anything to prevent... — read more
