Sad to see Pembina jumping on the politically correct bandwagon. Can barely function as an organization as it is, promoting those based on arbitrary categories isn't going to improve outcomes.
Regarding the removed post about questionable layoffs within TSU
That post was another black eye on Pembina. Knowing the company culture, I have no doubt that it is completely true. Targeting individuals last year for layoff due to them having to take medical leave vs. moving on from low performers, toxic staff... — read more
Project Managers at Pembina believe they can run a marathon but they can barely walk.
Some Project Managers in Major Project are very lazy. They request the interns to do their job and manage the multi million project estimates. An intern is still a university student with no experience at all in the industry. However, the interns are... — read more
Pembina PMs are embarrassing
A brutal take from a thread below. Having worked with a number of them, I couldn't agree more. It's like a steak from Wal-Mart vs. Caesars. It is embarrassing when I meet customers for drinks outside work and I hear how incompetent the PMs are at... — read more
Re: Intoxicated workforce
Two interesting posts from a thread below: I remember a Stampede party at National where as the afternoon went on, one visibily intoxicated VP went around with the drink ticket "wheel" and handed tickets out like candy to staff. Shortly after... — read more
Projects that are not being implemented
Pembina is no longer the same company that it was just a few years ago. What expecially bugs me lately is that some projects with a lot of potential have been stopped/slowed down. Perhaps I’m wrong? Someone here has already said that projects are... — read more
Schadenfreude culture. Vindictive nature of many still at Pembina. This is our only venue to share accurate information
Some highlights from threads below: I am a current employee of the company and this site is certainly an online autopsy of the firm! Some interesting and heartbreaking information to read. None of which is surprising. To throw more gas on the... — read more
Pembina appears to be threatened by this site
and the truth. So much for flying under the radar, eh? You can only snow people and industry for so long. It's obvious the company monitors this site, and the thread and posts below this one would certainly seem their dollar store spin job is... — read more
Stop crying
I just stumbled onto this site and am disgusted by some of the stuff I’ve read on here. Seems to me, a lot of you have had it too easy in life and don’t really understand how good Pembina is to work for. There are way worse companies with real... — read more
Are you constantly doing unpaid overtime?
*It’s an antiquated work culture. Pembina was the only company I have worked for in my entire career where if you weren’t putting in 1-3 hours of overtime each day, taking your laptop home with you, working through lunches, you were looked at as not... — read more
Pembina is a broken company behind the scenes
Pembina from the outside appears to be a well run company. Stock price (was) excelling, ambitious projects and vision, well-spoken CEO. Internally, it is a very different story. An alcohol fueled culture, employees rarely given the tools and... — read more
Recognition given to the wrong people?
Someone has already mentioned it here, but I would like to emphasize it once more because it bothers me a lot. It is absolutely wrong that those who stay at work longer are considered good workers. There are exceptions but generally I think that's an... — read more
Pembina culture is full of corruption and favoritism
Pembina must replace most of the upper management for new and fresh people with new ideas and strong values. What is the point of having many managers and supervisors who supervise one person or supervise nobody at all. There are layers and layers of... — read more
My thoughts are with the Dilger family
In these challenging times, it must be devastating for Mick and the family to have to celebrate Christmas at the Calgary mansion on river vs. flying first class to the mansion in Hawaii. Someone needs to think of our CEO in all of this pandemic... — read more
Pembina needs a change
*There are elites at Pembina. People who do whatever they want and not performing well at work but with the right connections in the company. Management is still full of old people leading the company in the wrong path. Pembina really needs a change... — read more
Pembina facts
Pembina is the only company I have worked for where a young woman was openly shamed by her team and HR rep for having the audacity to start a family and not put company first. Their behavior was celebrated. Pembina is also the only company I have... — read more
Thought I would share this:
From a lawyer friend who knows several folks at Pembina. After all was said and done with the April layoffs, and "nickle and diming" individuals, between the HR hours, various admin time, litigation, and adjusting severance packages, they spent... — read more
Project Phoenix in the works!
Acquisition of IPL is on the way. Watch for something similar to cenovus and husky
This is not sustainable
Operating too long with too much overhead. Too many senior reps and PMs coasting on fat salaries and bonuses without the workload to justify. You simply cannot function forever like that and expect to remain successful. Exactly what... — read more
Quitting now makes no sense
Why would anybody quit now? We are waiting for sizable layoffs most of us know are inevitable. A lot of us will be affected, but that also means a lot of us will walk away with at least some money for our trouble. If you quit now, you walk away with... — read more
Fun times ahead at Pembina...
Nothing is set in stone, but efforts are certainly underway for another round of layoffs targeted for November/December.. Pembina preferring to execute in early to mid December. Merty Xmas. Gossip: Mick's leash with the board is the shortest it has... — read more
Pembina Layoffs More
October 2020 - more layoffs coming from Pembina.
Landed a job. Please read!
Since D-day in April, I managed to land a position at a competor of Pembina and now lead a team. It's night and day with a more established, and progressive work culture. Superior compensation package also helps. Opportunity is out there and life is... — read more
Is anyone ready to quit on the company?
Unfortunate we had many good people leave us in these past months but our leadership is failing us. From the top down now it's obvious the company lost its way this year. Anyone working at Pembina feeling the same to me and my team? Technical... — read more
Watch your back!
Cronyism and nepotism runs rampant throughout the organization. No one can deny or challenge that. The slow internal bleed at Pembina can be traced back to an unethical culture and business practices. Human Resources fully supports it all and are... — read more
Miss the stampede party!!
The good company, food, and drinks. Hopefully next year we can do it again!
Direction
Seems like we don't know what we are doing. We stopped major projects, we got some people go. We thought that project controls are not doing right things, we thought that IT is not doing the right thing. So we gave some power to finance. Now we are... — read more
Personal Items Delivered Home
Myself and two other people are missing personal items and I'm unsure if there is any recourse. Anyone else missing anything? Not surprising Pembina is screwing up another straightforward process.
From an HR leaker: Next major cull in Sept/Oct
Watch out. The next 100-150 are being lined up for layoff in the fall.
Layoff - How do they do it?
1:1 with HR? A call? Scripted? How is it done?
Severance Packages
Anyone having any luck negotiating their small severance packages? With or without legal help? Are people having to file statement of claims?
I like my job at Pembina
Am I the only one who actually likes his job at Pembina??? That's why I'm so scared of layoffs, I don't want to lose my job. I see so many people commenting on how we'll be lucky to be laid off and I honestly can't understand that kind of reasoning... — read more
Just move on
If you've been laid off just move on - good times will never come back and just move on. There are many opportunities in tech, finance, healthcare, insurance, itd. Good luck.
Pembina is a perfect example of the "emperor having no clothes"
I work for Pembina and wanted to chime in. Pembina is a perfect example of the "emperor having no clothes". Given the age of the company, it's a pathetic workplace to call home. Employees are rarely ever given the proper tools or resources to be... — read more
This is a blessing in disguise
This company has gone from bad to worse in the past several years. I don't know any people who are still happy and satisfied with their job. Yes, being laid off came as a shock to me but now that I've had time to think about it, I'm better off. I... — read more
To those recently laid off at Pembina...
Please know that the majority of us still working here stand by you and are thinking of you and your families... Details about how you guys were treated have travelled fast within and it's not a good scene. Big picture you guys dodged a bullet... — read more
Lawyer mocked my severance and called Pembina pathetic
Asked me if what I sent him was a joke and said it was one of the worst produced severance letters he's ever reviewed and asked if the company had "less than 100 staff" (OUCH). "Micky mouse" calculations, no breakdown of the termination pay included... — read more
Hearing next round is August/September...
I posted here back in March about the layoffs and my source was right with the exact dates and total numbers involved... From them again: Once the dust settles, they will start the process again in late summer targetting a similar number of people... — read more
Pembina layoff severance is offensive!
After speaking with an employment lawyer, the PPL layoff severance is, in his opinion, the most cowardly and offensive severance in his long career in oil & gas. Offering minimum Canadian law standards to professionals in a time of zero ability to... — read more
