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

This explains why Enbridge can so easily lay off local employees
So, Enbridge thinks that paying its employees is equivalent to providing a social service, and thinks it can justify the degradation of employees’ compensation because it is simply not a “social service organization.” Of all the arrogant things I’ve... — read more

What's your primary gripe?
Of all the things we've dealt with (big and small), what's the 1 thing that causes you the most heartburn?
What happens with ongoing United Way payroll donations if you get laid-off?
If you donate a certain dollar amount to be deducted from each pay cheque to the United Way, what happens if you get laid-off? I would assume you get a bill in the mail, but what happens with the company match? Also curious - are any usual donors not... — read more

Trailer Park Boys - is Enbridge just spin off the Canadian based sitcom - which episodes
The Layoff = they have run off Cory and Trevor - now no one to blame everything on Diluting the stock = "nothing to see here, just Christmas packages and a meat stealen operation"
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
360-Degree Performance Reviews
Please.... there have been some movement in upper management... bullies in middle management are still in place, continuing their ‘best face upward’ to their new PLs, while crushing those under them. Look at patterns of voluntary departures. And... — read more

Excellent read
We're much closer to another Marshall than the ELT would like to think! We have lost our asset operations knowledge base through reductions over the past three years, retirement, and resignations. As a company, we have kicked the can down the street... — read more
Calgary is shocked at 13% attrition in Houston...
Well what did you think would happennyou dumb *? You cut PTO 2 years in a row, without giving any real raises and effectively no promotions in that time. You laid people off when people were already walking out 5 at a time on their own accord. What... — read more
When will the bleeding stop?
People in this company are jumping ship left and right. I see it in my department, business unit, and region. Is the company unaware of what is happening, happy that they dont have to pay severance, apathetic to it, or do they not know how to stop... — 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
Man, people hate working here
Every single person I know who works for Enbridge - and I know quite a few - hates working here. Everybody is looking for a way to leave and half is hoping to be laid off to receive severance. How badly do you need to f--- up to alienate your entire... — 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.

Conspiracy Theory about Merger?
Recently heard a conspiracy theory that makes a lot of sense: The Spectra merger wasn't about assets, or dollars, or synergies. It was about bringing in a ****ton of Spectra employees to push out the people in Houston. Legacy Enbridge Houston... — read more
