Enbridge screws over its shareholders by buying back MEP stock at $8/share (didn't it IPO at like 26 or 27??? Closed at almost 9 day before); then they FINALLY give us real information on the merger and layoffs (VPs and up will know their fate... — read more
Spectra impact
Any idea when the Spectra impact will hit?
BOEF will lead us through!
Anyone hear the latest rumor? After they did such a fantastic job of boefing so many crucial employees last year (many of whom are now being paid more money to come back as consultants), boef is now in charge of figuring out why the hell so many... — read more
Sending positive thoughts

Gas Assets ( Midstream G&P )

Enbridge Power
So the new VP is in and he wasted no time cutting the whole safety department, and then other positions in the organization. The amazing part is he showed an org chart with names and titles, and then the following week cut those people out of the... — read more
I have yet to sing
Still more layoffs happening. The bandaid is sure being ripped off slowly, but perhaps there are only so many rolling bins at our disposal.
The Kitchen Sink
So here's what I heard that makes sense: The company we acquired is light on liquids and heavy on gas Interpretation: We will take over their liquids (not Houston), they will manage our gas business The company we acquired owns their building... — read more
A positive note
I second "no more safety moments" and better still no more time wasting b---s--- performance reviews!!! Here's a thought how about we all send back our No LTI shirts...funny how there is money for them...especially when 3/4 of the company will never... — read more
Poor Management by Unqualified People
I reposted tis as a topic on its own, cause its worth reading: I had 36 years at Consumers Gas/Enbridge. The employees in my department, the meter shop at vpc were offered a package and bought out in 2013...lack of production. What they did not admit... — read more
Is 5% or 370 Canadian positions enough?
Are things that much more efficient by reducing 5%? Seeing a lot of people moved into new roles that don't seem to add much value. Are these just placeholders for the next round? Very confusing.
IT Re-Org
Who ISN'T a manager now in IT? With the company goal to simplify the organization for improved efficiency and decision-making not sure how the new IT org fits that goal. This is the best we can do over the many months of planning & waiting. Here's to... — read more
Cheaper to let management go now that they've been demoted
Don't be fooled, more cuts are coming post-merger. Whatever a manager's package would have been this time around, it will be much less come March now that they've all been demoted. Ouch.
One of the best!
Long years, great people and experiences. A former colleague and friend once said "Change equals opportunity". Whether you are gone or you stayed, make sense of the change, and find out how to best utilize your talents. Be agile, flexible and be your... — read more

Walking through a minefild
It is sad times for all of us, whether one received notice today or not. I know that we are not in a same soup as those who were let go today, but working in these conditions feels like constant wade through a minefield. If you skipped one “layoff”... — read more
Dropping like flies
It's happening, people are disappearing. At this point it's better to be put out of our misery, and move on to a new life, than hang around in dread for another year. I wish I would have gone in the first round, at least they didn't have to live with... — read more

Try and influence change
I am very sorry to those who have been forced out. It isn't your fault if you didn't challenge the system and were placed on a struggling asset, on dog projects, or under a limiting supervisor. Unfortunately employee productivity is being blamed for... — read more

Leave confirmed layoffs in this thread (no names please unless it's your own). 1 down in Superior Telecomm group.
TODAY IS THE DAY, Email from Al sent this morning
It's official, 5% reductions.
Sad, but true
Enbridge is a different place to work than it was 5 years ago. The change in management brought many other changes which have not been positive. Employees are treated terribly and many are miserable. The lack of integrity and respect shown to... — read more

10am on Wednesday is showtime in Houston
Most of the layoffs will be done from 10am-11am, then again from noon-1 in the Venice room. If you get a call from Venice, or your leader disappears during those hours, someone is toast. Enjoy.
