Anyone know what that means or what it’s code for?

@35j If this post is referencing a situation in Canada, "at will " does not apply. The US, yes.
@OP I don't think you understand what an "At Will" employer means. ENB can fire you at anytime, with or without notice, for any reason that's not discriminatory, or for no reason at all. Of course you also have the right to quit at any time for any reason.
If you have an offer, and you accepted it, you have a contract. They can fire you and pay out a minimum, but they cannot simply cancel the contract without any repercussions.
However, if it has not yet been accepted, it can be revoked.
"Freeze the means of production"
@19q thank god for antitrust laws. Last thing you want is enbridge running the industry
Hiring freeze
Hang in there, it’s likely just a short term freeze due to some internal reorganization, Enbridge is growing and hiring (unlike most other North American pipeline companies who are shrinking into operations mode). Enbridge is proving to be one of the few actual serious companies in this space, if not for anti-trust rules they would own the whole industry, I’m saying this as an investor not an employee.
If this happens to you be sure to ask for a severence payment. You may be able to leverage a concept called promissory estoppel in that if you relied on the job offer and took an action, liked moving, or quitting your old job, ENB may be libel for damages. It would be much easier for the big E to just offer a severence.
2026 budgets are going to be…tight.
It means a hiring freeze just popped up. It’s not you, just unfortunate timing
They did this to a couple folks taking other jobs internally here right before the last layoff in 2024
Something likely came up in your background check or there’s some other red flag.
I’ve seen this a few times before and that’s usually what it is.
