Your Favorite Tale of Wasteful Spending

We all have our favorite story of How Enbridge tosses $1000 bills around. With many of our friends and coworkers facing layoffs we should document how easy it would be to retain them if not for the short sighted spending our wonderful company thinks... — read more 

Hate working here

I actually cringe at the thought of having to go to work at Enbridge. Anyone who used to give a F is either gone or is actively looking for something new. Nobody cares anymore, and that goes for many of the people leaders too. It’s a joke! It sad... — read more

To the 4th quartile, everyone!

Why does HR tell us our goal is to perform in the fourth quartile, the top 25% of the industry, when they also tell us that they only want to pay at the mean average? So they want top performance for average pay? How do they reconcile this? Fourth... — read more

Go/no go on UG/EGD tomorrow?

Sounds like we may hear tomorrow. If Enbridge decides not to move ahead with the amalgamation, I think a huge blow-out street party should be held in Chatham. So no one feels uncomfortable about the optics, we can call it an “International Plowing... — read more

Have you held shares prior to the merger?

Anyone who held shares prior to the merger got screwed. Add to the fact that Enb has issued out more than a billion shares which diluted the company like few companies have ever done. Some rich people got richer, but it sure wasn't the average long... — read more

Chatham

The MAADs decision will accelerate the layoffs twofold. Given that Enbridge only has 5 years instead of 10 years to accomplish what they have planned, they are not going to walk away at this point in the game. EGD has so many people at head office... — read more

MAADS Decision is out

It’s on the OEB website. 5 year deferral period and 50/50 earnings sharing with customers from year 1. Seems to be very far off from what Enbridge asked for. Seems like a bad decision for the utilities.
