Anyone?
It has begun
It has begun in Houston. Head between knees, you know the drill.
Rumor
Expected to begin end of this week. 1000 plus people.
Why the wait!
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.
Well wishes
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
Wednesday is the day - Layoffs downtown and on Westheimer
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.
An Open Letter To Anyone Ever Laid Off
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
It should be about people, not a corporate balance sheet.
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
How about we stay strong together
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.
Spectra / Enbridge Layoffs
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
Too Inefficient & Expensive
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
2 days!
Good luck everyone. Life beyond ENB is greener for those who fear ...
Get it right, this time!
If a certain someone makes it through this round of cuts, I am truly going to question leadership. When people are voluntarily jumping ship in this economy, a red flag ought to be raised.
Real?
Am I the only one that feels like enbridge HR/Pr/management are posting fake things here? They hate this site
Get rid of your union !!!!!!
All your union cares about if the video weekly payment they get!++ Dump them and you will keep your job!
EDG should just accept a lower wage
I think the EDG employees should just be grateful for what they have and accept a lower wage to keep your job. Ask for something more and you WILL be fired. And get rid for the current edg union reps... only trouble@!
Sr. Management
Enjoy this weekend everyone seriously. Don't go home stressing over something you cannot control. If you know you are a good associate continue to be a great associate. Regardless if you are with Enbridge, or not. Don't allow this to damage your... — read more
EDG just needs to keep calm and stop the non stop rumors
Rumor after rumor after rumor. Just stop talking about it and let it happen. The reps need to stop going into the office and yelling and being loud - on purpose! It just makes things worse. Telling somebody something that they've already been told... — read more
Exxon Mobil is hiring.
http://www.gulfjobcareers.com/exxonmobil-oil-and-gas-career-opportunities/ I thought I'd pass this info along for those that may need it after next week.
Employment lawyer references
Does anyone have recommendations? I am just getting prepared.
EDG- Union clerical and dispatch jobs
Anyone else hear about the centralization of dispatch and clerical jobs to support the 100 union layoffs.
Contractor Pay Cut
I heard that all contractors in both the US and Canada will have to take a 10% pay-cut. Oh Boy! It just keeps getting better and better!
Houston offices
What are you guys seeing in your locations? I'm sure the former Spectra people are panicking but enbridge guys in downtown know the drill.
Message to leadership
If you guys are reading this, and it's become clear some of you are: stop with the constant layoffs. At some point, if you want people to work hard again, you've gotta tell them "if you do a good job you'll be fine." Nobody will ever be an effective... — read more
What the f the continuous improvement they keep talking about?
Do you guys know or can guess when Round 2 is coming?
Enbridge Productivity
Productivity has been down for months and it's not going back up for a long time. Morale will continue to be low since the people that are left just saw their friends get laid off. There will not be any loyalty left for the company. People will leave... — read more
Lets be positive and productive this week. Continuous improvement will provide more efficiency.
I bet productity this week will go down. Let's keep our morale high! This week is also a good time to do some housecleaning. So clean up your personal things and keep company's business records organized. Good luck and until the next time. PS:... — read more

Dump the Spectra folks and watch the Enbridge staff struggle with SAP
Here we go again..... Sr. leadership is clueless! How can you go lay off a bunch of people when you can't even agree on what ERP system we should land on? Layoff a bunch of Enbridge folks and the Spectra survivors will have fum learning oracle on the... — read more
It's official - Layoffs at Enbridge & Spectra March 22
They are gearing up to layoff people on either March 22. Making all sorts of plans and it's the worst kept secret. Remember Al, how you treat people will come back to you in the long run. Wonder if he and Greg can sleep at night?
Is Enbridge worth working for?
Is this company worth working for if layoffs are on a regular basis for the sake of the "stakeholders"? My friends were considering to apply some jobs at Enbridge and I could not really sugar coat the reality.
Layoffs
Anyone else hear rumors of layoffs coming in April?
The future is here
Let there be blood ... what is nirvana? Best of luck everyone.
