Ones livelihood IS directly tied to overall company financial and operating performance... But the employees should have the incentives (and be given the TIME) for better job performance through improving the areas/tasks that they can control... which seldom happens. I respect and understand the fear/concern, heck I feel it and everyone in the industry is facing it now.
As for the grunts not being shareholders, I'm pretty sure ENB offers a share purchase plan... and a defined benefit pension plan... so... yea... again, by improving the company's performance, you the shareholder (and employee) benefit in the long run. All I'm saying is that instead of lashing out, look for ways to do better. Now is probably the best time to have your ideas heard. After all, what do you have to lose?
