Thread regarding Enbridge Inc. layoffs

Depends how they are being handled. Most of the time the termination is done with an HR person as one of the attendees. 650 is a LOT of meetings - it wouldn't be surprising if it couldn't be done in a single day.

They may have thought that by being more transparent, instead of blindsiding people by letting them go the same day, would be better for employees mentally but it would have made more sense to be more specific on the exact week (and day) this was happening, and much shorter notice than a whole month. This will all happen on one day. You just need to look at past layoffs in 2015, 2016 and 2017. They all were done in one day. This is going to happen week of Feb 26. My guess is the 27th.

Maybe I am just cynical but at many organizations, stressing how important mental health, safety etc, are, are often just hollow platitudes for social media. Ticking the box so to speak and demonstrating to the world how caring they appear to be. The reality often is they do not really care and are profit driven.

That "ample notice" is valuable. But ultimately the notice was about controlling market optics, not about those impacted. By announcing the change in advance you minimize panic market movements. Dumping the positions completely unannounced can have damaging effects on the stock price, and ENB recovers slowly.

TLDR: it's not all about you.

Included in that 100% are ALL of the top performers. All not so sure they’d like to continue at Enbridge now AND are the most desirable when applying elsewhere!

Actually it is also intended to push people to look for jobs now and maybe even find something better. That person leaving gets a good raise and enbridge doesn't pay severence. Win win.. well unless that person is a high performer - it could really be a loss for enb, we are all a line item in an excel spreadsheet that has a cost associated. We are replaceable
