Feel sorry for so many affected at all locations... it is all about the bottom line people sad. hopefully there will be “smooth” transition - wish you/us luck.
Any Rumours on the pension? Changing? Staying the Same?
If they change it, or reduce the multiplier your going to see a mass exit of employees!
what a disaster since pd
a few years ago just about every employee would take a bullet for the company, today, under am, just about every employee will get a bullet (shot right through the heart). the bimbo excuses to reduce cost, reduce duplication is a load of bs. moral is... — read more

How many were laid off total?
Do we know how bad was yesterday, company wide? We've lost two at our location, and I have seen a lot of similar reports across the board. I am wondering if we can consider this a one day thing, or we are looking at more layoffs at Enbridge today or... — read more

Virtual Utility - Virtual Insanity
EGD was accused by the OEB many years ago of trying to be a "virtual utility" and it seems like hey are still trying. Maybe taking over Union Gas will give them some sort of leverage to get what they want. Imagine the only employees being CH , JS and... — read more
Layoff Week
Any word on change of plans for the upcoming round of layoffs this week and next as a result of the hurricane and floods in Houston? I know they've laid people with flooded houses off before, but this is a unique scale...
Shared Services Location
Has anyone heard where shared services are going to be located?
Put SCM out of their misery
The rest of us do not need to suffer along with SCM. Cut director and above, then maybe they'll have a chance.
Thanks for playing
Now, things will flounder for a while until a new strategy is recommended and promoted promising to make things more efficient with outstanding ROI. A new IT integrator will make buckets of money again to reinvent the wheel. When a returned focus on... — read more
TIS Quarterly Call CD Announces Resignation
So leadership is telling us to hang tight with all of the constant changes, yet they are bailing during these uncertain times? Doesn't really give a good vibe to the rest of the organization.
10% cut for contractors and employees
Rumor unsubstantiated: employees will receive a 10% cut in salary, contractors another 10%. Anyone have any info on if this is real or just rumor?
Next Round
When is the next round?
Core values
At Enbridge we follow the core values of safety, integrity and respect. Promoting the use of illegal substances violates these core values we so passionately follow as north america's premiere energy infrastructure company. We encourage you to review... — read more

Stressed out and messed up
Anyone else tired of feeling like the company is stressed out and messed up? I sure hope that things just settle down so that work can get done. I actually watched two people in a meeting throw each other under the proverbial bus because they think... — read more
The 10% raise.........
So, in true Leadership fashion....the Leader of Enbridge is given a 10% raise in 2016... While rank and file staff are told there are no raises due to economic conditions......huh...and Leaders wonder why staff are disgruntled....folks, don't waste... — read more
What's Happening At VPC?
I am out of there...but I have not heard too much info about people at VPC...Don't know what's happening with various departments belonging to utilities at VPC. Does anybody know? What's happened with the Meter shop? Facilities? The Lab? Leak Survey?... — read more
Grateful for a job and resume updates!
I have heard from FIVE different management team members in my chain of command to update my resume, post for jobs, and to look out for yourself and your family. My immediate director told me I should be GRATEFUL I even have a job. The writing is on... — read more
Onshore, not offshore
Hired contractors from India and brought them to Canada to steal Canadian jobs, zero social responsibility.
Project Allowance
For those of you who are lucky enough to get it I've been hearing that it will go away very soon. Apparently Enbridge management does not like that Spectra employees are getting the $$. Another thing taken away.....
IDP
What is the point of IDPs if your boss is the only one who looks at them? If your boss doesn't care, then it's just a waste of time. Especially if he only cares about himself. They make it sound like your IDPs will actually help your career. The... — read more
What clowns
Terminations occurred last month & they still haven't generated the Cobra election documentation. I was told the letter with my password to apply online was sent April 6, but haven't received it yet. Anybody else without health insurance?
was told Friday I should be thankful for a job
Interesting.... leadership now reminding those left behind that we should be grateful for the jobs we have and put even MORE effort (aka free time they won't pay for) into our roles. Yah, because I should be giving a multi-billion dollar organization... — read more
It isn't about good people or not.
It isn't about good people or not. They are going to outsource a lot! Entire departments and functions will be contracted out. Cuts are also projected to happen again in September after the summer projects are done. They just didn't do it now as they... — read more
Keep your resumes up to date
Senior management announces today to keep your resumes up to date. That means more layoffs coming. They tell you that employees are one of their greatest assets but also announce that more out-sourcing is also going to occur from the current level of... — read more
Gray stickers on our badges to hide "Spectra"?
Whose grand idea was that? Why not just wait until they issue us ( those of us who are still around) the new Enbridge badges.
For those getting pay cuts...
And being told not to discuss them, remember that the NLRB has said that not only are companies not allowed to prohibit you from discussing your pay, but it's illegal for them to make you sign anything to the contrary. So, discuss away. 👍🏼😘
Demotion Day
Yikes. That stung more than expected. It took years to get there and less than one month for Enbridge to take it all the way. When they give us our 10% pay cut next year, they'll be erasing four years of merit increases. I guess I should be happy to... — read more
Let's play a game. AM scoreboard
Let's play a game. An AM scoreboard, if you will. List below either an AM success or an AM failure, and we can see where the final score lands. Bonus points if you can list a dollar value. Just because I know that people will be focused on negatives... — read more
All those pay cuts to pay for GH's golden shower. Errr parachute.
Going to offset GH's severance. Hearing north of $5 million. Hey if they're looking for more cost savings, they can lay me off. I'll settle for 10% lf Greggo's package. I'll sweeten the pot even more: I'll pay for my own going away celebration.
It's not done yet; more coming later this year.
The recent cut is not enough for the $540 MM savings the management estimated right after the merger announcement. There will be more soon. This is Enbridge's style. They will continue to cut as they seem necessary to achieve their short term target.
Let go after 4 years....
Well, after four years of service, dedication, working during my vacations, putting in extra hours every week, dealing with an incompetent People Leader...I as rewarded with getting laid off. And I could not be happier... I believe the smugness of... — read more
