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.

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

EGD union layoffs
After Cynthia's email this morning the word is 100 union members in EGD will be let go... I know in the Toronto office there are about 20 union position currently vacant, hopefully these are the positions affected.

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.
Questions for AM at the meet and greet?
The Westheimer office hosted a calm meet and greet with the CEO yesterday but I heard the meeting at the Louisiana street location was lively. Details please.
Are contingent workers a thing?
Hey Enbridge. Provided I survive the cuts over the next couple of months, how does contracting work there? Currently with Procom, hated it, always hated it, but I assumed that I would get hired on and it was a probation period workaround. Instead of... — read more

HEY SPECTRA IT folks - the OUTSOURCING contract has been signed with TCA - confirmed by an Enridge FTE in internal email URL below
TCA or--- Tata Consultancy Services has inked the deal to outsource IT. I don't think anyone in US HR vetted the firm TATA to well. Maybe in the singular form it's okay. Welcome to Day 1. http://www.tcs.com/m/default.aspx ( copy and paste the URL to... — read more
From Spectra: Any rumors or thoughts on when they start cutting?
We have been told that planned job reductions are minimal. Yet we know there has to be at least a thousand in Houston. And I would assume a large number in Calgary. Historically, on the Enbridge side, how does this generally work? Should we expect a... — read more
Spectra building Warning - PSCM staffers and paper towels in toilets
This is all true - PSCM coworkers on the 5th floor have signs posted on the bathroom stalls " please no flushing paper towels down the toilet". Floors above 5th are constantly getting flooded and smell like Truck Stops. The good news is they have not... — read more
Spectra Layoff Page is blocked at work - irrelevant since the merger is 2/27 .. Layoffs will be done under the new Enbridge
Is the Enbridge layoff page blocked at your work yet – if not it probably will be soon - the thought police are out there doing their best. Would head of corporate thought police be a VP level position?
You are a number.
Maybe a %, a $ amount, an employee number, or a headcount. Senior and executive mgmnt do not care about you, they care about achieving their targets to receive their financial incentives. Al M makes more money in ONE DAY than you do ALL YEAR. Do you... — read more

Stip reduced
Some kind of cost containment garbage. Which they'd tell us this before we do our trainings and stuff, so we could just not.
