Thread regarding Pembina Pipeline Corp layoffs

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 fire, when I began my career at Pembina 8 years ago, there was a young individual on a team we interacted with who was obviously struggling with severe mental health issues (taboo topic at Pembina). Her manager and team were all aware of her struggles and instead of compassion and assistance, the manager deliberately overloaded her with more work and additional trips to the field. We later found out that was to get her to quit. Which she did. HR was also involved and cruely twisted the corporate dagger. After she resigned, her former team said how she would never work again in our industry and mocked her. I found out this after she left. Thankfully she sought help and is working again for a bigger midstream company. I still work with many people here who believe they are untouchable. It is like they are all on dr.ugs thinking Pembina is the be all and end all. There was a post somewhere here that called Pembina a cult and after thinking about it, its totally true, by the way and all these posts are circulated internally. Anyone defending the company here is a dumb shill

When I was laid off in April I provided my severance package to a lawyer for review. Her first comment was: "Oh, Pembina.... We've gotten a few calls this week from Pembina people who were laid off". She mentioned that Pembina was lowballing and grinding long term senior employees for "basically peanuts". There is no defending this company anymore. The jig is up. I enjoy reading this site. Please keep posting everyone!
The drinking culture for example is at the Social Club lunch every month. Employees were allowed to drink free alcohol, as much as they want, during working hours. Let's be sincere, do you believe that most of the employees were working after drinking alcohol at the Social Club lunch.
________
At Pembina parties, employees are given free tickets for more alcohol. Those are only some examples to mention about the drinking culture. Don't forget about the Board of directors meeting with wine.

What the shareholders would think if they know that employees at Pembina are in parties and in a middle of a drinking culture, instead of working?

A "Schadenfreude Glass House" is more accurate. I'm smiling at some of these posts. Left Pembina years ago but isn't this amusing to see the truth come out, eh.

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, another intoxicated VP walked around with a tray full of shots. After awhile the bartenders just turned things into an open bar. It was a total mess but the summer students sure loved it. And if you hung around long enough you got to close things down with Mick, and get invited back to his house for more booze. That is true.

My concern with the social club lunches was that while we are all adults, you would see people in health and safety positions, engineers, procurement, etc. go back to their desks after consuming alcohol. The reality is, not everyone can handle booze like the next person..... but it was all celebrated because "we're different at Pembina". It is completely irresponsible, and again, is a strange thing to observe coming from a major producer that was dry. I was even asked as I left one lunch, if I wanted a beer for the road...
