Incompetent managers making over $200k
Why are we not laying off managers that make over $200k but can't do the job of any of their direct reports? They just know the key words that they use in meetings to sound knowledgeable. They are always allowed to fill the roles if someone quits... — read more
Tipping Point Achieved!
After three plus years of striving to maintain optimistim in spite of multiple work force reductions, reassignments, lack of direction, lack of support, losses in benefits, etc.; I have finally reached my own personal tipping point. My questions now... — read more
Wow. Great deal on the harmonized benefits. NOT !!!
Got 2/3 the flex credits as compared to Spectra. Now they negotiated this great deal with as HR says so many more employees now can get an amazing price for employees benefits. EHC and dental Choice 3 last year cost approx. $2200. This year under... — read more

IT is not non critical
"It's funny when people call IT non critical. It gets to be pretty dang critical when people's systems are down and they can't do work. IT makes the world go around nowadays in all facets of a company yet people call it non critical." Thank you... — read more

Lay off question
Just wondering if it's possible to get laid off if you are on a sick/stress leave?
Get rid of managers who manage less than 6 people
How about all the managers that manage less than 6 people? We have a ton of managers with less than 6 direct reports. Most managers dont do any work, they "manage", so they should be able to manage 6 people. Enbridge' s rule of 3 direct reports is... — read more
Enbridge Syndrome making people sick
I don't know how often this is happening, but I know of a person who ordered by their doctor to take extended absence due to stress-caused illness. The person is the last one you'd think could not take it any longer, but was driven to their knees... — read more
Your Favorite Tale of Wasteful Spending
We all have our favorite story of How Enbridge tosses $1000 bills around. With many of our friends and coworkers facing layoffs we should document how easy it would be to retain them if not for the short sighted spending our wonderful company thinks... — read more
Hate working here
I actually cringe at the thought of having to go to work at Enbridge. Anyone who used to give a F is either gone or is actively looking for something new. Nobody cares anymore, and that goes for many of the people leaders too. It’s a joke! It sad... — read more

This explains why Enbridge can so easily lay off local employees
So, Enbridge thinks that paying its employees is equivalent to providing a social service, and thinks it can justify the degradation of employees’ compensation because it is simply not a “social service organization.” Of all the arrogant things I’ve... — read more

Of all the things we've dealt with (big and small), what's the 1 thing that causes you the most heartburn?
What happens with ongoing United Way payroll donations if you get laid-off?
If you donate a certain dollar amount to be deducted from each pay cheque to the United Way, what happens if you get laid-off? I would assume you get a bill in the mail, but what happens with the company match? Also curious - are any usual donors not... — read more

The Layoff = they have run off Cory and Trevor - now no one to blame everything on Diluting the stock = "nothing to see here, just Christmas packages and a meat stealen operation"
To the 4th quartile, everyone!
Why does HR tell us our goal is to perform in the fourth quartile, the top 25% of the industry, when they also tell us that they only want to pay at the mean average? So they want top performance for average pay? How do they reconcile this? Fourth... — read more

Well what did you think would happennyou dumb *? You cut PTO 2 years in a row, without giving any real raises and effectively no promotions in that time. You laid people off when people were already walking out 5 at a time on their own accord. What... — read more
When will the bleeding stop?
People in this company are jumping ship left and right. I see it in my department, business unit, and region. Is the company unaware of what is happening, happy that they dont have to pay severance, apathetic to it, or do they not know how to stop... — read more
Go/no go on UG/EGD tomorrow?
Sounds like we may hear tomorrow. If Enbridge decides not to move ahead with the amalgamation, I think a huge blow-out street party should be held in Chatham. So no one feels uncomfortable about the optics, we can call it an “International Plowing... — read more
Man, people hate working here
Every single person I know who works for Enbridge - and I know quite a few - hates working here. Everybody is looking for a way to leave and half is hoping to be laid off to receive severance. How badly do you need to f--- up to alienate your entire... — read more
Have you held shares prior to the merger?
Anyone who held shares prior to the merger got screwed. Add to the fact that Enb has issued out more than a billion shares which diluted the company like few companies have ever done. Some rich people got richer, but it sure wasn't the average long... — read more
Chatham
The MAADs decision will accelerate the layoffs twofold. Given that Enbridge only has 5 years instead of 10 years to accomplish what they have planned, they are not going to walk away at this point in the game. EGD has so many people at head office... — read more
MAADS Decision is out
It’s on the OEB website. 5 year deferral period and 50/50 earnings sharing with customers from year 1. Seems to be very far off from what Enbridge asked for. Seems like a bad decision for the utilities.
