A Different Take
I'm going to try to be as neutral as I can because some of you aren't going to care for some of this. I've got a couple of decades in my seat. It was IPL when I joined. And in that time I watched the company grow wildly without a structured approach... — read more
Don't forget
IF you haven't already - download any tax documentation you might need as it could be a pain trying to obtain that information later on.
don't sign anything
if you do find yourself laid off this week, do NOT sign anything while sitting in the room with HR! Everything you sign is legally binding. So take the night to go home and read it, hopefully with someone (a partner or friend) with an outside set of... — read more
If I get hit
If I get hit, I'll try to walk with my head held high. I've done my best, and I know it has nothing to do with my skills. I also want you to know it has been an honor to work with many of you. A lot of people here gave me one more reason to get up... — read more
Pack your things today while you still have a chance
Best to pack your things today when you still have time to do it in an organized fashion. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst =(. Not sure how organized tomorrow will be and whether the fallen will be given time to collect their things or hand... — read more
If you are being let go
Waiting for the other shoe to drop, I found this post buried on another thread. Maybe it helps someone. Depending on your age and how long you've been employed, companies like this use mergers to shed older employees to get out of retirement packages... — read more

Starting from Tomorrow / rooms were booked for Calgary - Tera Nova on 22F for March 22 and Aulavik on 22F for March 23. There may be other rooms
Westheimer Updates
Anyone?
It has begun
It has begun in Houston. Head between knees, you know the drill.
Rumor
Expected to begin end of this week. 1000 plus people.
Why the wait!
What was the point of telling everyone and having them stress, worry , and wait for a week and a half before we know anything! It's been a stressful week, not much work has been done.
Well wishes
I'm one of those that reads every new posts yet never comments. I've worked with many of you in many locations across North America. I can honestly say I'm honored to have met you and appreciate the time we've worked together and learned something... — read more
Wednesday is the day - Layoffs downtown and on Westheimer
Can't stop what is going to happen. I wish Al and Greg had a heart. Many people will be out on the street and the top people don't care. It's business as usual. Enbridge Energy is not a good environment at the moment.
An Open Letter To Anyone Ever Laid Off
To anyone who's been laid off in the last decade or so: I have a simple message comprised of five words that I hope may be of a little solace: Say goodbye to the guilt. It will never help you, and dollars to doughnuts you didn’t deserve it in the... — read more
It should be about people, not a corporate balance sheet.
Another adjustment to the rank and file. Just another round of cuts to balance the corporate books and pad the pockets of the execs and board of directors. Each employee is not just a number. Each employee is a family, the future of the next... — read more
How about we stay strong together
Instead of being all negative, why don't we all take some breaths, relax, get over this week and try to get back to normal. Stressing out about rumors and the what ifs doesn't help anyone.
Spectra / Enbridge Layoffs
Enbridge had 11,000 while spectra had 6,000 staff and the total combined asset is 53% from Enbridge and 47% from spectra. From the numbers there will be more cuts in Enbridge
Too Inefficient & Expensive
Honestly - you're all too expensive, lazy, and inefficient. You should be all so lucky that we're only trimming 40% and not 60% of the staff. Maybe this will teach you all a lesson in economics
2 days!
Good luck everyone. Life beyond ENB is greener for those who fear ...
Get it right, this time!
If a certain someone makes it through this round of cuts, I am truly going to question leadership. When people are voluntarily jumping ship in this economy, a red flag ought to be raised.
Real?
Am I the only one that feels like enbridge HR/Pr/management are posting fake things here? They hate this site
Get rid of your union !!!!!!
All your union cares about if the video weekly payment they get!++ Dump them and you will keep your job!
EDG should just accept a lower wage
I think the EDG employees should just be grateful for what they have and accept a lower wage to keep your job. Ask for something more and you WILL be fired. And get rid for the current edg union reps... only trouble@!
Sr. Management
Enjoy this weekend everyone seriously. Don't go home stressing over something you cannot control. If you know you are a good associate continue to be a great associate. Regardless if you are with Enbridge, or not. Don't allow this to damage your... — read more
EDG just needs to keep calm and stop the non stop rumors
Rumor after rumor after rumor. Just stop talking about it and let it happen. The reps need to stop going into the office and yelling and being loud - on purpose! It just makes things worse. Telling somebody something that they've already been told... — read more
Exxon Mobil is hiring.
