There was no revocable/irrevocable clause stated in the last RIF notice, and you were gone, whether or not you volunteered, as your name was pre-selected. Why then would they now deliberately add the ‘irrevocable’ clause to this RIF notice, unless... — read more 

Been with company near between 25-30 years. In a couple of months I will hit the 53 1/2 age mark. At some point in the past I heard that used to mean something. Was told that if a RIF came and you were over that age(with no other cause) that the... — read more

10% pay cut will result in a further 20% reduction in productivity. A little respect goes a long way with me. HON doesn't respect employees so why should I respect them.

Accepts 2016 deming cup for operational excellence.... What a joke!!!.... Is Columbia university part of mr kotex companies?...

I've heard some rumors floating around the office and some listed on other comments on this site. Is the Q4 Furlough still a thing? If so what week in December?

Dear valued colleague (LOL) Two weeks ago, you received a communication about changes to the Remote Working Policy. I have received a great deal of inquiries and questions and I’d like to clear up some confusion regarding the requirements and... — read more 

Overheard a discussion about the WFH policy change and what I heard makes sense. The guy was saying that the last layoff was probably supposed to be bigger but, with all the remote workers, they couldn't get who they were after. So the change is... — read more 

Well they pay me to do a job and I will comply but if they ask me to take a 10% pay cut, they will get 10% less work, That is only fair. I will not complain, I will not argue, I will simply provide 10% less service. BTW Mr. Cote we are all just... — read more 

From Yahoo financial: Based on favorable business conditions, the company revised its full-year earnings guidance. Earnings are now expected in the range of $6.60–$6.64 per share, up 8–9% year over year (read more: Honeywell Beats on Earnings in Q3... — read more 

Fresh college grad here entered this mess, sort of paranoid since I have student loan payments to pay coming soon. Do you think Honeywell will RIF college grads (or people of lower levels)? Or do you think I'm relatively safe?

Why are US and Canadian employees targeted for repeated layoffs, furloughs, benefit cuts, and other indignities while European employees have job security? Because we're not protected by a Works Counsel. How do we solve this problem? Unionize... — read more 

Will it be published, as per given schedule, end of this month ?

Here's the link to post a review on Honeywell at Glassdoor. Not sure how much it matters but people do look there and it's anonymous- https://www.glassdoor.com/survey/employer/collectReview_input.htm

Reading over the standard IP agreement that everyone is forced to sign when starting at HON, paragraph 6 says that for 2 years after leaving HON you can't work for a competitor. For anyone who has left HON recently, especially anyone who went... — read more 

Wow. All the whining about actually having to get ready for work, drive to work and actual work in an office! You all need to knock it off and do what I (and the vast majority of employees) do: get out of bed, get out of your jammies and go to work!... — read more

Any update about the furlough?... Dec5? Dec12 Two weeks?

It's obvious that Dave Cote is an egomaniacal sociopath. That can be used in our favor. He wants to retire next March as the Greatest CEO of All Time (as measured by his A-hole CEO peers). They compete to see who can take the most from employees... — read more 

Even though RIFs and furloughs are ongoing, I was just informed we hired two College Grads from back East. Start date is Q2. First question why? Second Q is, has anyone told these poor kids "DON'T COME HERE". hard to understand such logic. I can only... — read more 

Merry RIFmas everyone! I know we all will enjoy leftovers of last year's furlough cake this Holiday season! Fantastic place to work!

Any truth to phoniex being the training center of excellence

Lots of speculation out there about who is looking at this site. What can we anonymous posters do to ensure we get Dave's attention? It's a shame thelayoff.com doesn't have some means to tag Honeywell publicly, maybe get the media's attention.

It's time to start this discussion. Post your thoughts here.

It's pretty obvious to me that this is not about collaboration. It's about finding reasons to fire people. So I'm playing the game. They can RIF me if they want but fire? I'm not going out like that. But I'm very curious about enforcement.

Didn't Honeywell design the new HQ building to only have desk space for about 80% of expected HQ workers? The reason was many normally work from home OR visit other locations so why build work locations for them? Additionally, desk space was all... — read more
