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, another intoxicated VP walked around with a tray full of shots. After awhile the bartenders just turned things into an open bar. It was a total mess but the summer students sure loved it. And if you hung around long enough you got to close things down with Mick, and get invited back to his house for more booze. That is true.
My concern with the social club lunches was that while we are all adults, you would see people in health and safety positions, engineers, procurement, etc. go back to their desks after consuming alcohol. The reality is, not everyone can handle booze like the next person..... but it was all celebrated because "we're different at Pembina". It is completely irresponsible, and again, is a strange thing to observe coming from a major producer that was dry. I was even asked as I left one lunch, if I wanted a beer for the road...
The drinking culture for example is at the Social Club lunch every month. Employees were allowed to drink free alcohol, as much as they want, during working hours. Let's be sincere, do you believe that most of the employees were working after drinking alcohol at the Social Club lunch.
At Pembina parties, employees are given free tickets for more alcohol. Those are only some examples to mention about the drinking culture. Don't forget about the Board of directors meeting with wine.
What the shareholders would think if they know that employees at Pembina are in parties and in a middle of a drinking culture, instead of working?
