Training replacements?
I don’t know how I would feel if I had to train my replacement after being informed that I am no longer needed in this company. It puts people in such a difficult position. It’s nice to help someone new and introduce them to the business, but in this... — read more
Be careful when you "help out"
I was able to do my job with no issues. Everything would be done in time and everybody was happy. Then my boss started asking me to help with this or that (usually stuff that was supposed to be done by some of the newer employees) and after I'd do... — read more
How do you deal with a toxic atmosphere?
Everyone here is talking about an extremely toxic atmosphere, backstabbing, gossiping and bullying, as if they are not part of it. “Everyone else is spreading negative energy except me.” So I wonder how those who feel threatened in such an atmosphere... — read more
Bullying at Enbridge : an epidemic?
I've been bullied at Enbridge (Legacy union to be exact) for years. The bully was k won to management, yet she was promoted time and time again. Do I have a legal recourse here? HR won't help me, I tried.
How hard was it for you to develop a career here?
Some people think that it is hard for minorities to build a career in this company, but I think that we are all in an equally bad position here except for a few brown nosers. When I first got a job here, I thought my efforts would be rewarded, but... — read more

12 Days!!
12 Days without someone complaining, talking sh** or starting a rumor about layoffs. Got to say, I'm disappointed. Hopefully infrastructure planning dude can chime in soon.
Can something be done?
Everybody is talking about age discrimination like it's a foregone conclusion. It's something that's happening and it's something that'll continu happening and that's that. Is that really the case? Age discrimination is illegal, should we really be... — read more

Any idea what is the bonus rate for last year?
Anyone has got the enterprise level factor for bonus?
Pembina PMs are embarrassing
A brutal take from a thread below. Having worked with a number of them, I couldn't agree more. It is embarrassing when I meet customers for drinks outside work and I hear how incompetent the PMs are at Pembina. It feels no matter how much I defend... — read more
Negotiate Severance Package?
I wonder if anyone has experience negotiating severance pay or has considered that possibility? Friends from some other companies had this opportunity and some (with a lot of effort) managed to get a better pay. I am currently thinking whether it is... — read more
1.5 X Overtime what “F’ing” BS.
A multi-billionaire dollar energy company that wishes to retain and attract employees of top talent with high skill. Others in the energy industry have not pulled this stunt. Reduces the pay for those individual’s that are willing to work extra... — read more

Tips to boost employee morale
Dear Enbridge, Thank you for getting rid of/demoting the problematic upper management who were constantly deriving pleasure by degrading employees and eroding our self worth. Justice was served. Does anyone have tips to repair the damage that was... — read more

Covid protocols?
So they spent the last 3 months telling us that it was safe to be back at the office at reduced capacity just to have the premiere come out and say it “is absolutely not safe” to be in office buildings unnecessarily? Safety comes first so long as it... — read more
Company is systematically done for
This company is doomed. Leave while you can. Nobody has the proper licenses to do their job. Karma is going to clean house.
Covid rising cases
With the covid rising cases and a lot of employees that have returned to the office after October. The silence of the 100s of people who have tested positive is scary. Until the vaccine is available it would make sense for work to be remote. A... — read more

Enbridge - Look at the big picture
I worked at Enbridge during its best phase of growth in the last two decades and oil price at its peak. We received ever increasing bonuses and ever increasing pay hikes. The work environment was excellent. However, all good things must come to an... — read more

Name one good thing
I can’t think of one good thing about this company that would cause a sane person to stay. Most of upper management that I have been unfortunate to work with will seldom give any type of support. The environment is toxic with a few employees having a... — read more
Rate ‘em all exceptional. Let senior management sort it out.
I’m putting this out there because year end reviews are on the horizon. I don’t know how many people leaders look at this forum, but I’ve seen my staff put their heart and soul into this year. And in return they get wage role backs, forced... — read more

Return to Office
I'm concerned about returning to the office. I'm concerned not only because of COVID, but also about the fact that Enbridge does not adhere to its own value of safety. In Ontario, cases are on the rise, indoor gatherings have been limited once... — read more
Interview
I had an interview with Enbridge in August. It went very very welL, but I have not heard anything since then. Is there any way I still have a chance? Or should I move on?
It’s looking like Matthew Akman will be next CEO
After AM retires, which should be soon.
Return to work - yeah right
There is not a chance that I am back in one of our high density offices come early October. Any issues with that, call my lawyer.
