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.
Great questions out of Stoney Creek
GOOD JOB! 👏 Thank you.
Toxic enbridge
It's unfortunate the Enbridge refuses to learn from their past and continues to repeat those same mistakes. All while demanding loyalty from the staff while offering none. They keep talking headcount..if Greg Ebel were any kind of Leader he would be... — read more
Enbridge US GTM Region/Field All levels from hourly, individual contributors, to people leaders are being targeted.
Yes, they are targeting both Region and field employees in the US GTM. HR and management told me that it was a targeted attack. Supposedly based on performance, but neither I or any of the field employees that have been told we will be leaving have... — read more
Don't wait to be laid off
If you're miserable at your job, but waiting to maybe be laid off, you're just torturing yourself. I used to clock in 60 hours a week at Enbridge. Despite a decent paycheck, the pay didn't match the stress and constant pressure. It felt like the... — read more
The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my a-s off and Enbridge moves a few extra cubic meters of gas, I don't see another dime; so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.
Pay Parking @ VPC
One idea that is floating around to help "greenwash" the GDS BU is to implement pay car parking at the Toronto VPC office. Exemptions will be made for carpoolers and electric cars first and possibly other exemptions offered in the future. Charge... — read more
Employee Survey 2024
I wonder if they will have an employee survey this year?
I wish Feb was over
I can’t wait anymore to see how it will all turn out. I am a nervous wreck.
