Was told it was company-wide.

Field offices with corporate services are bring hit. Not pipeliners or those types of employees.

Are they making people sign NDAs to get severance? Is the information coming through here going to die down as those who end up cut sign the agreements and stop positing?

It sounds like there's activity on the 6-8th floors at the WO.

HR room bookings at ITC and Head office for 8am and 11am today.

The email indicates the following locations will be affected: Calgary, Edmonton, Houston, North York and Chatham May the force be with you!

I'm going to try to be as neutral as I can because some of you aren't going to care for some of this. I've got a couple of decades in my seat. It was IPL when I joined. And in that time I watched the company grow wildly without a structured approach... — read more 

IF you haven't already - download any tax documentation you might need as it could be a pain trying to obtain that information later on.

if you do find yourself laid off this week, do NOT sign anything while sitting in the room with HR! Everything you sign is legally binding. So take the night to go home and read it, hopefully with someone (a partner or friend) with an outside set of... — read more 

If I get hit, I'll try to walk with my head held high. I've done my best, and I know it has nothing to do with my skills. I also want you to know it has been an honor to work with many of you. A lot of people here gave me one more reason to get up... — read more 

Best to pack your things today when you still have time to do it in an organized fashion. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst =(. Not sure how organized tomorrow will be and whether the fallen will be given time to collect their things or hand... — read more 

Waiting for the other shoe to drop, I found this post buried on another thread. Maybe it helps someone. Depending on your age and how long you've been employed, companies like this use mergers to shed older employees to get out of retirement packages... — read more 

Starting from Tomorrow / rooms were booked for Calgary - Tera Nova on 22F for March 22 and Aulavik on 22F for March 23. There may be other rooms

Anyone?

It has begun in Houston. Head between knees, you know the drill.

Expected to begin end of this week. 1000 plus people.

What was the point of telling everyone and having them stress, worry , and wait for a week and a half before we know anything! It's been a stressful week, not much work has been done.

I'm one of those that reads every new posts yet never comments. I've worked with many of you in many locations across North America. I can honestly say I'm honored to have met you and appreciate the time we've worked together and learned something... — read more 

Can't stop what is going to happen. I wish Al and Greg had a heart. Many people will be out on the street and the top people don't care. It's business as usual. Enbridge Energy is not a good environment at the moment.

To anyone who's been laid off in the last decade or so: I have a simple message comprised of five words that I hope may be of a little solace: Say goodbye to the guilt. It will never help you, and dollars to doughnuts you didn’t deserve it in the... — read more 

Another adjustment to the rank and file. Just another round of cuts to balance the corporate books and pad the pockets of the execs and board of directors. Each employee is not just a number. Each employee is a family, the future of the next... — read more 

Instead of being all negative, why don't we all take some breaths, relax, get over this week and try to get back to normal. Stressing out about rumors and the what ifs doesn't help anyone.

Enbridge had 11,000 while spectra had 6,000 staff and the total combined asset is 53% from Enbridge and 47% from spectra. From the numbers there will be more cuts in Enbridge

Honestly - you're all too expensive, lazy, and inefficient. You should be all so lucky that we're only trimming 40% and not 60% of the staff. Maybe this will teach you all a lesson in economics

Good luck everyone. Life beyond ENB is greener for those who fear ...
