Heard Williams has gone to only one day allowed work from home. I bet Enbridge will do the same soon :(

I see nobody listened at the All Company Forum, this was post Director+ returning to the office he said, full time in the office for everyone doesn’t work for us. We’ve not seen him be untruthful to date. He’s a straight sho-ter.
@1ne Enbridge is recruiting people, they aren’t going to cancel one of the biggest lures of good candidates to the company.
We will be back to 4 days soon. It’s all about control.
Bunch of banks announced 4 days in office starting in Sept - it’s coming
Enbridge typically follow transCanada policy like sheep. I will be more concerned if TC implements it. they typically do not seem to be influenced by the policies of US companies like Williams or Energy Transfer in this area.
I don’t see it happening. Almost all teams are spread out across the continent so why the need to be in the office 5 days a week when most colleagues are spread out elsewhere?
If it’s about monitoring productivity the company can do that better with electronic surveillance anyway, they don’t need to have management physically looking over shoulders. Not to mention many managers aren’t even in the same city as their reports.
With the open concept cubicles the Company would see a major productivity drop if people were working in those brutal morale and productivity su-king half boxes 5 days a week. There are so many distractions.
Williams will likely see a migration of good employees leaving to come over to Enbridge.
WFH is one of the biggest recruiting and retaining factors for Enbridge.
Brainstorming and workshops are brutal in the office - 90% of the time it’s just people jammed in a meeting room staring at a screen in a teams meeting.
Nothing about the office is collaborative anymore - no matter how many PR photos CEOs see of happy people around a conference table are shown to them by their overpriced consultants.
Do the CEOs really think we are all high giving each other after that awesome meeting with how great we are. Nope - that sh-t is CEOs delusion of their egos need to feel like they matter to us workers.
Probably. CEOs love to follow trends. The reality is that work from works for some and not others. I like the choice, office work is not as productive unless you have a brainstorming or workshop. Its just flexing power and pushing people out with no severence.
Work from home will come back eventually.
