2 more run out the door.
Two more ISC Bob's have bolted. The drain continues.
This could help get better results
The "work in the office" mandate is an HR driven mandate applied to individuals. Honeywell (at least Aerospace) leadership however prefers people working on projects together not be co-located. The glaring example is project management staff is in... — read more

Honeywell Greer
Honeywell Greer was the worst job of my career. The site may have well been unionized because the employees in special process dictated what was done. How they were treated and if the didnt like their supervisor they keep filing complaints that were... — read more

UFB

Clearwater call last minute All Hands
Any ideas what the "announcement affecting employee" will be? Ice cream party because we achieve 50% participation rate for PER? New solar panels to cover the entire parking lot? HON has agree to paid $10 toward your dental? Other?
Honeywell's strong quarters will not last much longer
It was another strong quarter as far as wall street is concerned. With the mix of short and long cycle businesses, Honeywell is positioned to continue making their quarter for at least the next two quarters, but then they will have some problems. If... — read more
Miserable company
This company and its leaders are a sad example of a thriving cooperation. I left after 36 years (in March) and no I didn't go back to work anywhere as I have elected to retire. It was great through Garrett and even Allied-Signal. It changed when... — read more
They are not even trying to fix the situation
HON management has no interest. There is more money to be made by driving the company into the ground. Actually leading and managing a company is hard work, and a task to which none of the AERO ALT are qualified or able to do. Sell off product lines... — read more
Please stop getting rid of experienced workers
They hire the people they can pay the least to, not the most qualified. College kids, h1b visas or 3rd party contract employees are the norm now here. It's almost rare to find someone who has been in the company longer than 25 years because of most... — read more
Honeywell is sick
There is a cancer that started out small...it could have been removed with quick and quality treatment. It could have been saved but no one paid attention, no one believed that it could grow & become worse, no one did anything to stop the unhealthy... — read more

Mid Years going on right now
Does anyone have any insight to how they think mid-years are going? Like, are you seeing yourself put in a "block 5" or below, when you know you shouldn't? Has anyone received anything higher at this point?
Severance package at Honeywell?
I am trying to get my ducks in a row as I am pretty sure that I will be on the chopping block come next layoff round. I am not sure if and what kind of severance package is offered by the company, though, and would really appreciate if anybody can... — read more
Can I cash in my 401k if furloughed
Do you know if a 401k can be cashed in if I am a part of a furlough. Not 100% sure I want to do it but looking into options in a case I need money.
8 behaviors
So, we were informed we will be graded on additional 8 behaviors which have nothing to do with job stills, is totally subjective. My manager is struggling to phrase them as to flow them down into our PDP . I still think it supper management's way of... — read more

Managers at Honeywell not doing their jobs
Managers now appear to be more like HR people. Dont get too involved in the process, issues or technology, to avoid getting any blame when things dont go as expected. Just delegate everything and monitor your people. If something is late or there are... — read more
Is Honeywell going to be sold in 2017?
Yes? No? Elaborate if you'd like.
More qualifications, less chance of promotion
the odds are that if you're qualified and knowledgeable in your role, the odds of you being promoted are not good. I'm not sure if it's because they know they have too many chiefs and not enough native Americans and promoting them reduces... — read more

Disturbing trend of Promotions
Been with Sperry/Honeywell 30+ yrs. I am seeing disturbing trend of new promotions where we have many VPs and Directors, and multi levels of Directors reporting to Directors and added layers of mgmt. This happened in '90s before Honeywell tanked. Now... — read more
Rumor: Honeywell and Siemens to merge.
If you can't merge with United Technologies then take the next best option. Could make Third Point investment moot.
Mid-Yr Reviews
So does anyone anticipate that the mid-year reviews will drive a new attrition situation? Is that what leadership has been waiting for... before a new RIF/Furlough announcement is dropped? Does anyone have insight into this?
Group Universal Life
So I am 55 years old and will be here 33 years soon. I have always purchased GUL equal to 5 X my Salary. I'd like to retire in next 5-7 years but wonder what my options are for Life Insurance then. Retirees out there....what did you do?

Don't take VP's words at face value
