Thread regarding Enbridge Inc. layoffs

@1wrv, think that most of the markdown syntax works here. Try this:
Quote - To make a quote, begin a line with “greater than sign” ( > ), should look like this:

Quote

Bullets: To create a bullet, begin a line with a dash ( - ) or asterisk ( * )
Shood look like this:

• apple
• pear

Numbering should work too

Bold/italic: Start and finish a string with an asterisk to make it italic - two asterisks to make it bold.

Monospace and the code-block should work too - using the backtick ( ` ) at the beginning and end of a word or a string will turn it into a

monospaced or a
blocked quote

@1wrt This text should appear bold.

NORMAL TEXT: This should look normal.

MARKDOWN BOLD: This should be bold.

MARKDOWN HEADING: ## This should be a heading.

BBCODE BOLD: [b]This should be bold.[/b]

BBCODE ITALIC: [i]This should be italic.[/i]

HTML BOLD: This should be bold.

END OF TEST.

This is normal text.

This text should appear bold.

This text should appear italic.

This text should appear underlined.

This should also appear bold.

This is the final line of normal text.

You will never see another VWO. I was a knee je-k reaction when COVID hit. They paid hundreds of thousands to employees who were going to retire within a year or so anyway. Crazy! Some (not all) of those who left took a ton of knowledge with them too. Should have been much more targeted.

@ha this is speculation. Some of us were told employees they have the golden handcuffs due to pension,etc….

Some people are waiting for the VWO to protect and possible get bridges for retirement.

I guarantee that most people whom want VWO are incredibly competent in their skills

that two year condition expires in september

LOL, don't you get it yet? Big E lays off on a 12-to-24-month cycle and has done so for many years. The day you get hired; they fire a bullet at you. The only variable is how long it will take to reach you. The closer to retirement you get, the bigger the target on you. And also, don't forget, part of the last utilities deals included a clause that Enbridge wouldn't layoff new employees for the first two years, then they are fair game for the reaper, like the rest of us. GE just can't wait to spread his layoff love to his new utility companies. But with much dignity and respect, of course.

the company lays off employees every year ....so the company isn't doing well every year????

when companies merge it results in a surplus of employees

The association is incorrect here. If things are running well, why would the company want to upend the work force? You offer VWO when things are running badly and you must trim costs.

@vv utilities hold a lot of debt, most of it directly paid for by the customers. News flash at 11.

@OP
2B in profit but holding 100B in debt

Would love a package

Curious why you think profit would equal VWO? I don’t see another VWO happening. And while I sure wish they would, a VWO is not what’s needed. The people that most need to go would be the ones that wouldn’t take the VWO, as many that need to go are not easily employable elsewhere and are just coasting and collecting a paycheck.

Many hands are up.
