Topics regarding layoffs at TransCanada Corp.

Inefficiency and redundancies

I regret to say this but TC at its current stage is a very inefficient company. I know quite a few departments (especially accounting and finance) where managers lack skills and it drags company down. Managers have no technical or technological... — read more

To the USNG post

You called it regarding changes for the USNG business unit. 40% of Columbia sold, people dragging up, safety department reorganization now in effect, others to follow and not to mention the KDs continue to bully their way to the top!

The shift to U.S

Phase 2 of layoffs in the next few weeks. Shift to the U.S BU. Sr leadership to realign the portfolios July through September is the window. Rumor is 25% cuts however I’m thinking highly unlikely. Good luck U.S BUs.

How bad is it?

Anyone willing to share any details? How many are being let go? What’s the severance? How many moved into the BUs?

Health is priceless

My health is considerably worse now after some time here. I don't think there is a single person here who, after a certain period, did not start to feel discomfort due to accumulated stress. True? I intend to quit because health is priceless.

Supply Chain?

Does anyone have any insight into what is happening with layoffs in Supply Chain?

Massive layoffs in weeks

Early June cuts to the TechCentre. Up to half the positions (50%) will be cut, rest absorbed by BUs. Then BUs restructured by Fall with up to 25% cuts.

Divesting assets

So any guesses on which assets are getting moved/being sold?

Loss of talent

Recently, the number of talented employees leaving this place on their own accord has increased significantly. All of them possess exceptional skills and have made significant contributions to the company's success. It is truly disheartening to... — read more 

Tech Centre Layoffs

When are we finding out about the lay offs? I thought they said start of April. Can’t wait to cash in on my 15 years of service

CGL Sinking the TC Ship

Poor discipline of budgets from CGL project and labor troubles leading to impacts of OTHER groups throughout the company. Senior leaders say "we are all in this together" as desperate measures are taken to keep TC afloat, prop stock price up, and... — read more 

Erosion of benefits

My increase was just under 5%…. But what I find interesting is all of the employee benefits that have been slowly eroded over the last two years. First it was the elimination of 6 flex days and now it’s the elimination of medical benefits for... — read more 

It started!

Some senior people let go. Is this the beginning of focus? The masses wonder.

Employee town hall

So it is confirmed, lay offs will happen as they finish evaluating the fit for purpose model. Canada made some Org changes and some BU in the U.S. Assume more to follow end of Feb early March.

Are things getting any better?

I left a little more than half a year ago. I'm not saying that I regret it, but I'm not much better off in my new company than I was here. I am interested in whether anything changed for the better in the meantime?

A matter of trust

There is a big gap in trust between employees and management here, going in both directions. It's terrible when that happens, makes an awful work atmosphere. I think there are only a few lucky ones here who can really trust their manager?

Cutting deep in IS

Losing up to 300 people as our fearless CIO is outsourcing all of our jobs. It’s great to see that he is still posting on LinkedIn about how he is a guest speaker at a disrupter conference. Outsource and ki-l a department I guess that’s how you... — read more

How do you get promoted here?

While some people get promoted every 2 to 3 years, other high-performing and well-liked people have been stagnate for years despite following their development plans and talking to their leaders regularly. How do you stay motivated when the effort... — read more 

Restructure USNG

In the next few weeks, lay offs in the USNG BU. Tech Center already transferred individuals to other BUs as well as releases of individuals. USNG groups received email last week of changes. Good luck everyone.

This used to be a great company

Now that I’m leaving, I wonder why this company has fallen so much from the glorious old days. Where did it actually go wrong?

TC is sinking

We've turned into one of the most disorganized companies I can think of. How we're staying afloat is beyond me.

Layoffs

Town hall announces layoffs?

Bye bye IS department

Our fearless CIO announced today they are outsourcing almost the entire operations team. Good luck getting any support for your apps or computers now.

Posting Performance Review Letters on LinkedIn!

I never thought I’d see kids posting their performance letters from Francois publicly on LinkedIn to brag about their “exemplary performance” and not only NOT get socially scorned, disciplined or dismissed—they get a chorus of thumbs up! What a... — read more
