For those of you who are lucky enough to get it I've been hearing that it will go away very soon. Apparently Enbridge management does not like that Spectra employees are getting the $$. Another thing taken away.....
IDP
What is the point of IDPs if your boss is the only one who looks at them? If your boss doesn't care, then it's just a waste of time. Especially if he only cares about himself. They make it sound like your IDPs will actually help your career. The... — read more
What clowns
Terminations occurred last month & they still haven't generated the Cobra election documentation. I was told the letter with my password to apply online was sent April 6, but haven't received it yet. Anybody else without health insurance?
was told Friday I should be thankful for a job
Interesting.... leadership now reminding those left behind that we should be grateful for the jobs we have and put even MORE effort (aka free time they won't pay for) into our roles. Yah, because I should be giving a multi-billion dollar organization... — read more
It isn't about good people or not.
It isn't about good people or not. They are going to outsource a lot! Entire departments and functions will be contracted out. Cuts are also projected to happen again in September after the summer projects are done. They just didn't do it now as they... — read more
Keep your resumes up to date
Senior management announces today to keep your resumes up to date. That means more layoffs coming. They tell you that employees are one of their greatest assets but also announce that more out-sourcing is also going to occur from the current level of... — read more
Gray stickers on our badges to hide "Spectra"?
Whose grand idea was that? Why not just wait until they issue us ( those of us who are still around) the new Enbridge badges.
For those getting pay cuts...
And being told not to discuss them, remember that the NLRB has said that not only are companies not allowed to prohibit you from discussing your pay, but it's illegal for them to make you sign anything to the contrary. So, discuss away. 👍🏼😘
Demotion Day
Yikes. That stung more than expected. It took years to get there and less than one month for Enbridge to take it all the way. When they give us our 10% pay cut next year, they'll be erasing four years of merit increases. I guess I should be happy to... — read more
Let's play a game. AM scoreboard
Let's play a game. An AM scoreboard, if you will. List below either an AM success or an AM failure, and we can see where the final score lands. Bonus points if you can list a dollar value. Just because I know that people will be focused on negatives... — read more
All those pay cuts to pay for GH's golden shower. Errr parachute.
Going to offset GH's severance. Hearing north of $5 million. Hey if they're looking for more cost savings, they can lay me off. I'll settle for 10% lf Greggo's package. I'll sweeten the pot even more: I'll pay for my own going away celebration.
It's not done yet; more coming later this year.
The recent cut is not enough for the $540 MM savings the management estimated right after the merger announcement. There will be more soon. This is Enbridge's style. They will continue to cut as they seem necessary to achieve their short term target.
Let go after 4 years....
Well, after four years of service, dedication, working during my vacations, putting in extra hours every week, dealing with an incompetent People Leader...I as rewarded with getting laid off. And I could not be happier... I believe the smugness of... — read more
Layoffs
Over the last year they have made doing your job absolutely miserable. I think this was in part as a Contractor to get you to quit because Layoffs did not happen and then if you were fired you had to fight for your unemployment benefits that they had... — read more
The rest of the layoffs Friday ??
If you think it's over... it's not
What happens to your pension if you resign?
I'm tired of working in such a toxic environment, my heart isn't in it anymore. I'm just not sure what happens to my pension if I leave the company. Can anyone offer some insight?
Worst culture to work in
Employees have been living in a limbo for last 2.5 years and management confirms that this is the new norm. S--- it up. More mergers and deals will result in more layoffs. Its is no secret in this economy. They want to take advantage in the downturn... — read more

Any updates?
What was the formula, why so secretive?
If the layoff criteria was based on a formula such as "manager with no or few direct reports" = higher salary = efficient savings, why not disclose that? One reason is that it may eliminate good people because of where they fit in a demographic. The... — read more

Why you don't want to be jacked up with a car payment, mortgage, credit card debt, etc. Which of course, O+G people are famous for.
Al Monaco CEO gives himself a juicy raise while other loses there jobs and the rest of us get told to do more work with less available reasource
Its time for the higher ups to lead by example instead of sh;;ting on the employees

Nondisclosure agreements
Are they making people sign NDAs to get severance? Is the information coming through here going to die down as those who end up cut sign the agreements and stop positing?
