Sad to see Pembina jumping on the politically correct bandwagon. Can barely function as an organization as it is, promoting those based on arbitrary categories isn't going to improve outcomes.

That post was another black eye on Pembina. Knowing the company culture, I have no doubt that it is completely true. Targeting individuals last year for layoff due to them having to take medical leave vs. moving on from low performers, toxic staff... — read more 

Some Project Managers in Major Project are very lazy. They request the interns to do their job and manage the multi million project estimates. An intern is still a university student with no experience at all in the industry. However, the interns are... — read more 

A brutal take from a thread below. Having worked with a number of them, I couldn't agree more. It's like a steak from Wal-Mart vs. Caesars. It is embarrassing when I meet customers for drinks outside work and I hear how incompetent the PMs are at... — read more 

Two interesting posts from a thread below: I remember a Stampede party at National where as the afternoon went on, one visibily intoxicated VP went around with the drink ticket "wheel" and handed tickets out like candy to staff. Shortly after... — read more 

Pembina is no longer the same company that it was just a few years ago. What expecially bugs me lately is that some projects with a lot of potential have been stopped/slowed down. Perhaps I’m wrong? Someone here has already said that projects are... — read more 

Some highlights from threads below: I am a current employee of the company and this site is certainly an online autopsy of the firm! Some interesting and heartbreaking information to read. None of which is surprising. To throw more gas on the... — read more 

and the truth. So much for flying under the radar, eh? You can only snow people and industry for so long. It's obvious the company monitors this site, and the thread and posts below this one would certainly seem their dollar store spin job is... — read more 

I just stumbled onto this site and am disgusted by some of the stuff I’ve read on here. Seems to me, a lot of you have had it too easy in life and don’t really understand how good Pembina is to work for. There are way worse companies with real... — read more 

*It’s an antiquated work culture. Pembina was the only company I have worked for in my entire career where if you weren’t putting in 1-3 hours of overtime each day, taking your laptop home with you, working through lunches, you were looked at as not... — read more 

Pembina from the outside appears to be a well run company. Stock price (was) excelling, ambitious projects and vision, well-spoken CEO. Internally, it is a very different story. An alcohol fueled culture, employees rarely given the tools and... — read more 

Someone has already mentioned it here, but I would like to emphasize it once more because it bothers me a lot. It is absolutely wrong that those who stay at work longer are considered good workers. There are exceptions but generally I think that's an... — read more 

Pembina must replace most of the upper management for new and fresh people with new ideas and strong values. What is the point of having many managers and supervisors who supervise one person or supervise nobody at all. There are layers and layers of... — read more 

In these challenging times, it must be devastating for Mick and the family to have to celebrate Christmas at the Calgary mansion on river vs. flying first class to the mansion in Hawaii. Someone needs to think of our CEO in all of this pandemic... — read more 

*There are elites at Pembina. People who do whatever they want and not performing well at work but with the right connections in the company. Management is still full of old people leading the company in the wrong path. Pembina really needs a change... — read more 

Pembina is the only company I have worked for where a young woman was openly shamed by her team and HR rep for having the audacity to start a family and not put company first. Their behavior was celebrated. Pembina is also the only company I have... — read more 

From a lawyer friend who knows several folks at Pembina. After all was said and done with the April layoffs, and "nickle and diming" individuals, between the HR hours, various admin time, litigation, and adjusting severance packages, they spent... — read more

Why would anybody quit now? We are waiting for sizable layoffs most of us know are inevitable. A lot of us will be affected, but that also means a lot of us will walk away with at least some money for our trouble. If you quit now, you walk away with... — read more 

Nothing is set in stone, but efforts are certainly underway for another round of layoffs targeted for November/December.. Pembina preferring to execute in early to mid December. Merty Xmas. Gossip: Mick's leash with the board is the shortest it has... — read more 

October 2020 - more layoffs coming from Pembina.

Since D-day in April, I managed to land a position at a competor of Pembina and now lead a team. It's night and day with a more established, and progressive work culture. Superior compensation package also helps. Opportunity is out there and life is... — read more 

Unfortunate we had many good people leave us in these past months but our leadership is failing us. From the top down now it's obvious the company lost its way this year. Anyone working at Pembina feeling the same to me and my team? Technical... — read more 

Cronyism and nepotism runs rampant throughout the organization. No one can deny or challenge that. The slow internal bleed at Pembina can be traced back to an unethical culture and business practices. Human Resources fully supports it all and are... — read more 

The good company, food, and drinks. Hopefully next year we can do it again!

Seems like we don't know what we are doing. We stopped major projects, we got some people go. We thought that project controls are not doing right things, we thought that IT is not doing the right thing. So we gave some power to finance. Now we are... — read more 

Myself and two other people are missing personal items and I'm unsure if there is any recourse. Anyone else missing anything? Not surprising Pembina is screwing up another straightforward process.

Watch out. The next 100-150 are being lined up for layoff in the fall.

1:1 with HR? A call? Scripted? How is it done?

Anyone having any luck negotiating their small severance packages? With or without legal help? Are people having to file statement of claims?

Am I the only one who actually likes his job at Pembina??? That's why I'm so scared of layoffs, I don't want to lose my job. I see so many people commenting on how we'll be lucky to be laid off and I honestly can't understand that kind of reasoning... — read more 

If you've been laid off just move on - good times will never come back and just move on. There are many opportunities in tech, finance, healthcare, insurance, itd. Good luck.

I work for Pembina and wanted to chime in. Pembina is a perfect example of the "emperor having no clothes". Given the age of the company, it's a pathetic workplace to call home. Employees are rarely ever given the proper tools or resources to be... — read more 

This company has gone from bad to worse in the past several years. I don't know any people who are still happy and satisfied with their job. Yes, being laid off came as a shock to me but now that I've had time to think about it, I'm better off. I... — read more
