Apparently cuts in London have started. Anyone know anything?
General discussion
I know everyone is feeling a certain amount of tension, but if you’re personally not worried about the layoff where are you located (US, Canada, Ontario, ect) and what department are you in?
Region Changes
Does anyone know about any region changes pertaining to the field/ops in the US?
Well I am on the list, field employees check the Marks Account
Sadly, I have discovered that I am on the short list for termination event. My Marks Commercial account 2024 allotment wasn't reset like my fellow colleagues. If you are a field/operations/trades employee take a look... Good bye for now
They can lay me off
I don't hate it here, but I've been at Enbridge long enough to be entitled to a decent severance payment, and in all honesty, I'm ready to move on. This is not the same company it was ten years ago and while I will miss some things - like my... — read more
CALM DOWN
Everyone is a bit emotional. There is no point in getting worked up. Start mass applying to other companies. If you get fu---d then you get fu---d.
Taking My SDO
Its going to be a sad and depressing atmosphere tomorrow. I might as well use my SDO, could be my last. Good luck to all and stay positive!
How Did You Prepare for Layoff?
With rumors of layoff since late last year, what preparations did you do on your end so far? Is it correct to assume that with Enbridge manpower generally makes above average and good benefits package, would you say you are financially prepared if... — read more

Don’t expect package like VWO
I was told the package for this round of layoffs are way less than 2020 VWO, they gave a max of 2 years back in 2020, that will not be offered this time, 3-12 months max. So don’t rush into signing anything right away.
Your Reasons for Staying
Serious Question: What is your reason for staying especially if you had been with Enbridge for a long time? Enbridge had been laying off people since 2015 and obviously stockholders is more important than employees.
The List!?!?
I know for a fact a list of people to be laid off!!!! Someone should definitely post it here!!!! You know who you are….
I’m a contract worker.
I know my odds are low of making it out of this layoff still with a job. I was hopeful to get a permanent spot at Enbridge within my group, but now I certainly am not. It’s sad to feel my career at Enbridge is likely over without it ever truly... — read more

Have an employment lawyer and an accountant ready
Should you receive the unfortunate news of being let go. First thing you need to do is take your notice to an employment lawyer. Second thing would be line up an accountant to ensure all your bases are covered in terms of taxes and other fees... — read more
What metric is being used?
I am interested in understanding how Enbridge will decide which staff to let go vs the staff they choose to keep. Union or non-union. Is it performance based? Is it input from Supervisors, Managers, etc.? Is it roll of the magic 8-ball? If it's... — read more

Health/Dental Benefits After Layoff
Does anyone know if they extend health and dental benefits ,by any amount of time (?), after they lay you off? Do you have time to get one last dental visit or refill prescriptions, etc?
“Analytics”
Does anyone know what level of analytics they are tracking employees at? E.g. key card scan in and out times, when your computer is turned on/off, number of hours in active status on Teams, physical location of laptop/network, # of days working from... — read more

What exactly are we paying for?

Speak to a reputable employment lawyer before signing anything
If they are only offering you what your local government regulations stipulate the minimum severance is you could potentially be entitled to more. Even after the lawyer's cut it could be worth it.
Yammer circlej--k
Does anyone else feel like Yammer is beyond fake and full of the most kiss-as--s in our fine organization? I can’t even read it anymore at this point.
How will the union respond
We know there's no layoffs before letting contractors go per the CBA. Plus, we know Enbridge are a formidable anti-union organization. So who wins? The irresistible force or the immovable object?
Why a month's notice?
Someone, please explain the thought process for today's email. I'm all for transparency but to put everyone on high alert for the next month? Lots of people were already super anxious, and now even those who were blissfully unaware are panicked. — read more
this is not going to be the only round of layoffs
I cannot say where I got this from because doing so may tip off who I'm getting from that they're doing something wrong. there is a reason why uncle greg in his email this morning did not rule out further layoffs. the company is anticipating a higher... — read more
Enbridge is laying people off - 600 people to be exact
Enbridge is laying off 600 people i just got the email today
Director Meetings
Are any other departments meeting with their directors today?
Criteria
Looking for an honest answer, what exactly is the criteria for choosing the people to let go? Has anyone been involved at some level and can share?
Toxic TIS
I wish I could volunteer for a layoff…ready to move onto something else and get out. The environment in TIS is as toxic as it gets especially with a Director who bullies employees!
Well 650 isn’t that big, wonder if there will be a phase 2.
Yeah a little underwhelmed
Don’t believe the hype- Job market is tough
I know people looking for one YEAR and cannot get a comparable job with equal pay and benefits. The closest is 20% less. Are you hearing the same thing?
Well??? What’s the word?
Well??? What’s the word?
Bridging to Retirement
Any word if there will be any bridging to retirement? Previous reductions had some bridging to retirement for employess that were older than 55.

Is it next week or end of Feb?
Any more news about the layoff date?
Place is a joke and the union is terrible.
What a push over place to work. Management is brutal and the union is a joke. Everyone is scared to stand up to either. Thanks to the few that will and have. We all see you
