Bell Canada Enterprises, also known as BCE, is a publicly owned company headquartered in Canada. Founded in 1983, it employs approximately 35,000 individuals and reported $17.5B in revenue as of 2025. The company functions as the parent company of the Bell group properties in Canada, with a main product focus in retail.
On June 25, nearly 50 former Bell employees filed a $6-million lawsuit against parent company BCE, alleging wrongful termination. The employees claim they were fired for falsifying in-office attendance, commonly known as "coffee badging," in alleged violation of the company's 3-day in-office policy. They contend these terminations, primarily involving staff in Toronto, were part of a broader cost-cutting strategy rather than genuine enforcement of its code of conduct. Bell had previously stated in May that it dismissed a "small number" of employees following a "thorough investigation" into alleged attendance falsification. This legal challenge emerges as BCE navigates a significant telecom transition, marked by fibre network spending, dividend expectations, competitive pressures, and media disruption. Previously, on June 24, Mark McDonald, Bell Canada's executive vice-president and chief technology officer, underscored copper theft as a significant and growing problem across Canada. McDonald, overseeing network strategy and infrastructure, noted that the issue endangers public safety, poses economic risks, and compromises essential infrastructure.
