If you’re in your 50s, do you expect more to get laid off than younger employees?
We are Enbridge ELT
Of course we will lay people off yearly to mask how inefficient we are Of course we’ll send a survey after the layoffs to see how good the culture is Of course the results of the not so anonymous survey will be glowing Of course we will have... — read more
Employees are completely expendable
I feel sorry for those few souls who keep thinking they are safe because of this or that. Sometimes I want to shake them and ask them where have they been for the past few years. Your head needs to be firmly stuck in the sand not to realize that... — read more
Job ladder question
My job ladder changed in my workday about 5 months ago, but was not communicated to me. What do you suppose this means?
Pension
Does anyone have a reliable information if the Enbridge pension fund is fully funded? What’s your back up plan in case this goes sideways?
*Long inhale*
Smells like desperation is setting in...
Why the month wait?
What’s the speculation on giving a months notice? Are they hoping some that are on the edge make the jump? Why would that person wait to see if they get severance first?
Putting Into Perspective
I know this is not a popular opinion but working for a publicly listed company like Enbridge gives you zero job security. And this is not unique to Enbridge, just look at the level/amount of layoffs that had been happening since last year across... — read more
Layoff date
I’ve heard many different things regarding the actual date. Mostly, that announcements will made by people leaders on a Monday to work from home on Tuesday. Then, layoffs will occur on said Tuesday and employees laid off will be allowed to return to... — read more
The most toxic workplace I've ever been in
Enbridge is by far the worst and most toxic workplace I had to endure. It's not just the higher-ups contributing to the toxic vibes, the employees are just as guilty of it. In fact, sometimes it feels like being toxic is practically a job... — read more
Cringy Moment
What is the most cringy comment that your supervisor or manager ever said? It’s family day long weekend in Canada that’s why I remember it. In one of our meetings few years ago my supervisor said “Let’s work together fam!” Holy she called us family... — read more
Be Kind To Each Other
There are some nasty barbs being thrown around on here. We all are working to put food on the table, pay our mortgage/rent, enjoy a few hobbies and leisure and most importantly support our families. There are always really good people let go in... — read more
What’s happening with Ops in Ontario
Does anyone know what’s happening in ops? We’ve always been “safe”. Yet now the union has been asked to axe multiple outside workers. Fewer workers equals fewer supervisors (me). We’re already running with a skeleton staff and now this? Not to be ... — read more
TIS Tech Lab - Dead?
Heard that part of the layoffs will be to toast the T&I Lab. That would be around 50 people or so. Anyone heard similar?
Past Severance
Would anyone happen to know the severance calculations for past layoffs (2015, 2016, 2017 or 2020)? I am a fairly new employee of Enbridge and interested to see if there’s a trend with what’s offered.
Canadian Friends
Just FYI... for those who are federally regulated and not an engineer or others as laid out in the code, remember that you have a max allowable hours of work, which is 48. If they've been working you more, even if you're overtime eligible or salary... — read more
Mental Health and Wellness
“Supporting a better you. Building a better us. We support a mentally healthy workplace and encourage employees to support their mental health, to achieve success” Nothing like 1 month of stress, anxiety and uncertainty to completely contradict... — read more
Technical Managers?
I heard a rumor that technical managers are being given an ultimatum: package or demotion. Makes sense because it’s an odd position to be paid so much but not have any reports to deal with.
Expect a high turnover rate after this is done
Nobody sane is going to want to stay here and wait for something like this to happen again. And let's not kid ourselves, something like this will happen again and again. Enbridge is no longer a good or safe place to work and the more people realize... — read more
Work from tomorrow?
I was just teams'd by a lady in HR, stating that I was eligible to work from home tomorrow and to be available for a quick chat around 11AM, anyone else? I'm not really sure what they might want, maybe it's an internal posting follow-up.
Can we speed this up?
And wake up on March 1st? We’ve been under so much pressure and facing uncertainty for weeks now. I have a life to live and bills to pay, and it would be great to finally find out whether I should be looking for another job.
Tomorrow 2/14
Tomorrow is the start date, some will be let go tomorrow. Just a heads up.
Managers signing NDAs?
I was talking with someone today and they said managers and directors have been required to sign NDAs regarding the layoffs? I guess this means that managers are going to know something in advance. Hopefully someone will spill the beans here... — read more
Is It Worth It?
To those who had been in the industry for a long time, is it worth staying and enduring the periodic/cycle of layoffs? did the prestige really mattered working for a so called huge public corporations? did the money you made really increased your... — read more
3 More Weeks
3 more weeks of torture. Uncle Greg please finish this already. I had to cancel my Valentines day date coz I can’t concentrate.
Ask Mya
When they gonna ask Mya who is being laid off so they can let us all know already?

STIP multiplier of 1.65x
GE says 2023 was a landmark year for Enbridge! STIP multiplier of 1.65x! What a year! LP had record volumes! The future is so bright I gotta wear shades! As a reward, 650 of you just gotta go!
SCM HR BP’s
I sure hope the SCM HR BP’s are on the list. They serve no purpose and are likely over compensated overhead.
Number of VPs
Does any know how many VPs Enbridge actually has? I've heard some numbers thrown out but want to confirm.
Local 975 Layoffs
What are everyone’s thoughts on the email from local 975 received on Friday afternoon?
$1.73B Q4 Profit!
Gotta love the corporate greed. Making money like crazy, yet cut the people who actually do the work. Shareholder value over anything else. If only everyone just didn't show up for work for a few days. The leadership team would see how little they... — read more
Greg Ebel enroute to Toronto Offices
Heard threw the grapevine the ceo is taking a flight at 10am to toronto. I already started packing.
Any Idea What Group or Department is at risk?
Just curious about rumours going around what departments and groups may be targetted for layoff in Ontario. I have not heard much myself being in a very small secluded group.
USRs Ontario
I hear from chupka that all USRs (utility service rep) are on chopping block.
