While some people get promoted every 2 to 3 years, other high-performing and well-liked people have been stagnate for years despite following their development plans and talking to their leaders regularly. How do you stay motivated when the effort... — read more
Restructure USNG
In the next few weeks, lay offs in the USNG BU. Tech Center already transferred individuals to other BUs as well as releases of individuals. USNG groups received email last week of changes. Good luck everyone.
Layoffs
Town hall announces layoffs?
TC is sinking
We've turned into one of the most disorganized companies I can think of. How we're staying afloat is beyond me.
This used to be a great company
Now that I’m leaving, I wonder why this company has fallen so much from the glorious old days. Where did it actually go wrong?
Bye bye IS department
Our fearless CIO announced today they are outsourcing almost the entire operations team. Good luck getting any support for your apps or computers now.
Everyone happy with their raises/bonus?
No guidepost adjustment for 2022….
Posting Performance Review Letters on LinkedIn!
I never thought I’d see kids posting their performance letters from Francois publicly on LinkedIn to brag about their “exemplary performance” and not only NOT get socially scorned, disciplined or dismissed—they get a chorus of thumbs up! What a... — read more
Lucky to have a job
I still can't believe that my manager told me I can only feel lucky to have a job. I guess that's a "reward" for all my efforts so far. Have you ever been told that?
Hot Air
To the post below, yes. Interesting that TC preaches ethics, collaboration and integrity. Huge lie. I know Directors on the take with wife in contracts. Racists Managers who promote others on the good ol boy system and southern charmers. Yes, the... — read more
Office COVID
To the person who posted about not returning to office- covid cases are on the rise …my team alone has been decimated by it and are mostly back at home this week. Give it a couple weeks before we all are….this sh** is never ending
Peter Principle
How is it that the person accountable for billions of cost overruns and massive schedule delays on projects like Saddle West, Napanee, various pipeline loops and Coastal Gaslink gets rewarded with a CEO job elsewhere? I mean it’s cool they built... — read more
Work fromHome
Why is it cyber security gets to work from home permanently yet I can’t get even get an exception for one of my staff who has a medical reason? Is anyone else tired of the money pit we call IS and leadership over there doing whatever the he-l they... — read more
Rejecting RTO
What happens if you refuse to go back in? My colleagues are already getting sick left right and centre
Just a quick question
Nothing would suit me better than a voluntary layoff. Is there any chance that they will offer that option as well?
TechCentre Layoffs start date?
When are they starting and how do I get included? I want to get packaged out of this joke of a company that’s taken a total turn downhill since Russ’s departure
OpenText is awful!
Who decided to bring in this piece of trash! It has added so much time to my work in supply chain! The damn project has been going on forever and feels like we have had about 20 different PMs. I’m sure this was cheap to implement as well.
Our new CEO is such a crock
How can he sit in a zero talks and a safety standown and say that contractors are one of us and they are no different than a full time employee when we just branded all our contractors with contractor in their email and forced them to change their... — read more
So much sexism
My last post disappeared but this needs to be said. There is so much sexism at this company. If you're female and you address it, you're out the door. Women have to work 3 times as hard to get 1/3 of the recognition. At the town hall, Francois... — read more
Growth Potential
I'm really interested in what the quarterly results will be and so I'm reading some analysts' predictions. I find it most interesting to see that they think the company has “Significant Growth Potential”. Okay, maybe it has, but how much is it... — read more
It might be time
To unionize https://gounion.ca/join-a-union/faq/
Here it comes
We were all lied too, changes and layoffs coming. I
MLK Day Off?
What’s the point of having today off if I’m forced to be on conference calls all day so my CND manager can have upward exposure! Hey look at me my team is working today, I’m a great manager! Such looser.
Senior Leader Retreat
Montego Bay this year.
Layoffs in the tech centre
Project insight should be done next month. Be prepared for a ton of cuts as they look to do more with less.
Should we start a union
Would make it tougher for them to fire people anyways.
USNG lays off
So, another executive let go. PM laying off as well as Construction Management. Does anyone else know anymore info? Will this end?
The way of layoffs
The next wave is starting, Houston office will start.
Imagine that, another re-org coming
Looks like layoffs at end of year for gas side. Never ending, can’t leadership figure out what to do and how to do it yet? Get your resumes ready my gas friends.
Voluntary exit
The company needs to take a look at the moral. There are so many people who are miserable but staying with the company for the PSU. If they offered voluntary layoff instead of these constant re orgs and lay offs the company would be a much better... — read more
Sad
Man is this place going downhill fast. Death by a thousand cuts. A layoff here, a layoff there, more piled onto desks. Poor or nonexistent leadership. Lack of clear and open communication. CFO has no backbone. Hard conversations aren’t being had... — read more
Thoughts on today’s TownHall
I miss Russ
Has TC lowered the criteria when hiring?
This is just one example - TC got rid of a man who was very skilled, capable and from whom many of us could learn a lot. Now, instead, my colleague is a person whose skills are so bad that I don’t even know how that person got the job here in the... — read more
Vaxx mandate
With Trudeau putting in vaxx mandates for all regulated industries, does this mean anyone who doesn’t have the vaxx will be terminated?
Here we go again
Rumor is another organization change when the numbers come back on the VRP. Smh
How many have we lost so far?
Do we know the exact number of people who have been laid off since the pandemic started?
Mask mandate change - US offices
Fully vaccinated employees no longer need to wear masks in the common areas, but the rest still do. Curious if that inadvertently violates the confidentiality of ones private medical information? Interesting to see if there is going to be pushback... — read more
