Enbridge = Star Trek's "The BORG..... WE = "The COLLECTIVE"......resistance is futile
Many postings on good to great Corporate cultures destroyed. Sadly, this is how it is always been. Empires rise and fall, obnoxious fiefdoms like IPLE and Corporations. The cycle may take 10 years, via anti-trust, poor management or the parts are... — read more

I can not believe the board of directors haven't addressed the decisions being made at Enbridge. I have only been under the Enbridge influence since the 'merger' 18 months ago but am a long time employee. First, the leadership decide to outsource the... — read more
Enbridge Gas Inc.
I’m sure nobody is surprised, but I had to pause to post my LOL over the “new” name. How many billable hours do you suppose Enbridge’s ad agency spent coming up with that creative gem? I have to also laugh about how much spin was given to the “new... — read more

Don't expect to be respected and valued here
Good post from @W9bGVbO-qgw, well worth the read: I have been both a contractor and employee and there is no job security on either. The only difference is you have a severance package if you are an employee but it is not a lot if you are only with... — read more

The "Canada's Top 100 Employers" list is out for 2019 and Enbridge is NOT on it. It was on the 2018 list (and possibly before that?). Union Gas was on it for years pre-Enbridge. Enbridge not being the best place to work right now will not be a... — read more

I don't see why people care about when the layoff is at this point. Everyone I know is looking so if they find something they leave. Until then they stay and if they get laid off then it is what it is. It's not like after this round of layoff there... — read more
