I've spent countless nights and weekends making this place a priority over my own family in hopes of advancing my career and in turn making sure my family is taken care of. I put in so many extra hours, so much of myself into this place and what do I... — read more
CEO succession?
Where people are at with MD's succession? I would think he has at most two years in his current role before he 'gracefully exits' and joins various boards (maintaining the PPL gig) The company requires an external CEO hire post MD (read the post... — read more
Horrible company to work for - stay away
I spent 7-1/2 years with the company. A while back, I would say it was a good company to work for. In the last 4 years or so, the opposite - it has gone down hill substantially to the point where the wheels have come off. If you are honest, a hard... — read more
What awaits us by the end of the year?
Additional layoffs? More disappointments?
Restructuring Posts
Why are people shocked they were laid off after Mick/Pembina pocketed 350 million from the failed/lowball IPL transaction? Pembina doesn't give a f*** about you. Last spring Mick pocketed millions in unnecessary covid aid from the UCP only to turn... — read more
Has loyalty ever mattered here?
It seems to me that very few still believe that loyalty matters. Everyone else has already realized that being loyal only goes to the detriment of the one who is loyal. Judging by the experiences of some of the best employees who stayed here even... — read more

The reasons why so many look forward to being laid off?
Whoever I talk to, everyone can’t wait to get laid off. Everyone is sick of Pembina. The situation is really bad and it is devastating how many people have lost hope that it is possible to save their job with hard work.
Merger anxiety. Please read
My advice to anyone who feels they will be laid off from Pembina is to not be afraid of the company bullies, and to go to your Doctor now and obtain a note from them requesting one month off due to Covid/work stress, whatever. Scan and email the note... — read more
Same song and story

How tragic will it be?
I can not believe it. Just when I thought I could finally relax a bit, rumors of layoffs started coming again. Working in this company means forgetting all your plans or better yet - not making them. Are there any details on how many people could be... — read more
Anyone still loves working here?
I’ve had a love/hate relationship with this place. In the beginning, Pembina cared for its employees. But now that’s no longer the case. The benefits are what drew me here, it was an incentive to give my 110% but after gutting so much of it I... — read more

Pembina "Top Employer"
Pembina pays for the "honor" of being included in the "Top Employer" list. Akin to a Better Business Bureau rating. Cheap publicity. like this paid fluff piece in our Edmonton Journal. Rethink including the Top 50 Employer in an e-mail signature or... — read more
Does MD want people to quit vs. getting laid off?
In light of the spring Town Hall, is MD that out of touch with the people? Does he really want to go back to "normal" when "normal" wasn't sustainable? When "normal" offered no work/life balance and so many of us on the precipice of burn out? There... — read more
Pembina needs layoffs
Let's be honest here, we do have fat that needs to be cut. The only problem with this is the fact that the wrong people are being laid off every time and the fat remains. How many management layers do we really need, honestly? People who (as many... — read more

Pembina lacks of direction
Just wondering how the future looks like for Pembina. After cancelling the star project CKPC, the company is still focused in oil and gas. Our CEO, MD, have mentioned in the town halls that Pembina's vision in the next 10 years was to move far away... — read more
Morale
The beatings will continue until morale improves! It’s a great company compared to most. Every company has issues. The grass isn’t any greener anywhere else. No complaints.

Changes to WCB by the UCP. Important to Pembina staff

Criticized for leaving?
Pembina is the only company I worked for in my career where if a quality person and decent performer accepted a position at another company, we didn’t openly celebrate them or look inward as to why they left. As soon as the person had one foot out... — read more

Posted on the Cenovus Layoff forum today
