Thread regarding Enbridge Inc. layoffs

Things will continue as they have been

I think some of you are not being realistic about the ELT leaving their jobs. The way it works is they are just going to continue with what they do because they can always justify it. Besides, regardless if they leave or get replaced they are financially secured already so it is always a win-win for them. The divestiture of non core assets has been going on for some time and it will continue. On a hindsight, I already know more than a dozen contractors and employees leaving on their own because they don’t want to be a part of whatever is happening which resulted to people felt demoralized, degraded, emotionally & mentally unstable (of course they pretend they are ok). I think the bonuses and pension plan should be scrapped and replaced with enhanced health & psychological treatment benefits package to the tune of $20k each coz we really needed it these days, the currency will depend if you are located in canada or the states. There was a time when I feel really proud to say I work at Enbridge but these days when someone ask I just say I work in an oil & gas company. Why I stay? Just for the money coz I know that no one cares and I didn’t trust anyone nor consider anyone as a friend in this workplace. Why would I need friends at workplace when I have real family and friends outside. I don’t expect to be treated special in a company that I know treats me like a number, I tried being both a contractor and employee and my mindset didn’t change - get in the morning, work and get paid and life goes on. When you leave, they are just going to replace you. No one cares, so why would you care about what your management do. Who cares if I am a top performer or not, besides I don’t have to perform well in a place where it is more important to be politically correct than to perform at your best. All you have to do is work smart, get friendly with your management, pretend you care and be politically correct. I am not gonna say anything bad about anyone in the management coz it is not gonna change their strategy. When the stocks go down I buy, when it’s up I sell. People are going to continue to leave and the company will just move on, so why care on what is happening.

I for one am happy to just have a job. I like the people I work with. Like the projects I work on, and give it 100%. When I leave, I try not to worry about what I can’t control, and am very thankful to be able to provide food and shelter and more than some have to my family. The truth is it is no different here than anywhere else. No one owes you anything. If you let your morale get down, anywhere is going to s---. I had my pay cut too, but I have insurance, get a paycheck, and am not unemployed for another stretch. Keep your chin up folks. If you don’t like it and can do better, have the time and energy to go out on your own, go for it! Seriously! But I like Enbridge. Merry Christmas and God Bless y’all!

Of course. It would be good, though, if the board fired AM for ruining the company.

Nice constructive reply. The company owes you nothing. They give you a salary and it pays for everything in your life. They are a business that only focus is making money for the company. That should also be you only goal. If you want more then take control of you own destiny.

All employees should be thankful for what they get.

All you really need to know is that there is life after Enbridge. As an ex employee who was trained and developed to be a Senior Manager. I took control of my own destiny and struck out on my own. I now make triple my salary there posses more things than I ever dreamed possible and have gained more real world business experience than could ever be obtained working there.

The smart ambitious people leave as they should. Enbridge is not a true business where all your decisions affect the profit and your compensation.
