Preach. If you have a bad meal at a restaurant, would you think to yourself, “At least I don’t live in third world country where I might not know where my next meal is coming from”? Nope. You’d send that sh-- back. I can ultimately live with the... — read more
Benefits are part of our compensation
Benefits are part of our compensation. We are lucky to have benefits, but no more “lucky” than we are to get paid - we work in exchange for those things. The constant repositioning of this topic to make it sound like benefits are a favour from our... — read more
More layoffs today?
Do we know if layoffs are done? Can we expect more today? As somebody mentioned in another thread, this not knowing is the worst part. Why is it so hard to communicate with employees and tell us what's going on? This constant stressful anticipation... — read more

Getting a new job
How hard is it really? I'm ready to leave Enbridge, but I'm petrified of actually getting out there and trying to get a new job at fifty. It's been a while since my last job interview and I'm really not looking to having to go through that entire... — read more
Anyone know anything?
Just waiting for decisions to be made about whether or not we (legacy UG) have jobs is driving my anxiety thru the roof! Does anyone have any idea or hints of when things are going to happen?
There were at least a thousand people impacted by mistakes for benefits and pay
There was an email from HR that said there were around a thousand mistakes to dependent birthdays that resulted in those people not being able to use the benefits for a couple weeks. A lot of people also had the wrong ESP amounts deducted. So basic... — read more

Layoffs before January 29
With an all utility meeting on Jan 29 the layoffs must be coming before then. They can’t be that callous & tonedeaf to do it after that I actually think this is a good point. Which means that we all need to prepare for a layoffs announcement either... — read more
Changes coming at Union Gas
Since the beginning of January, security guards are at all building entrances to ensure that all UG employees are swiping their badges. Rumour has it that it is due to direction from Enbridge. I guess layoffs are coming sooner than we think as may be... — read more

Line 5 shutdown effect?
With the new governor of Michigan making it her #1 priority to shut down line 5, how many good folks are going to be left in the cold? We have staff all across the state, and more behind the scenes, should anyone be worried??

How is a whole thread deleted that had no names and was based on publicly available information. Seems like some executives have some thin skin or are trying to hide something that everyone already knows (it’s the talk of the entire office). Or maybe... — read more

WE = 3 Years of Layoffs & Reorgs. WE = Depressing.
Comment if you know someone who quit or took a stress leave because they can’t handle the never ending changes anymore. I know I am only human but openly saying you are affected by the reorgs will make you look weak in this company culture.
So how is the latest, well planned reorganization going for everyone?
Seven weeks into the latest reorganization, and still so many more questions than direction...Sure glad the extra time was taken to plan this one out before diving in!?!?

SCADA leadership investigation
Stop intimidating people from talking to hr/investigative personnel. If you truly are a good manager you have nothing to fear. The VP needs to be supportive of the investigation instead of turning a blind eye to SCADA.
