Pay attention to the posts. There is one viral poster that trolls every new thread. He is the one that constantly includes the SAME stupid add-ons to Tim Mahoney's name (e.g. "baloney", "phony", etc). He clearly has nothing better to do and is a... — read more

Active Shooter Training
Are they preparing for the fallout of another round of layoffs and pulling more perks?
Nobody should be suprised...not enough 'regrettable turnover' to rethink furloughs.
https://hbr.org/2013/06/honeywells-ceo-on-how-he-avoided-layoffs DC explains his furlough strategies...I wonder if in 2016 he hit his 100% target.

WFH Policy - tactic to generate attrition?
Highly likely the whole point of the new policy is to generate attrition - saves on severance payments. IMHO
Pharaoh's Tower is crumbing......I heard MPLS Honeywell Engineers had enough with this....Is this true!
I heard within 2 weeks 6 MPLS Honeywell Engineers that work in the same area gave notice to leave the company. They are hurting bad for engineers. Good for them though.
Engineering Efficiency Index or Engineering Effort Index
I agree. I’ve been with Honeywell less than 8 years and I keep hearing how it used to be a great company. We keep using the Honeywell reputation as being a great company; however, it is no longer a great company. It exploits its salary employees by... — read more

Aerospace ISC Reorganization
Does anyone know the details of this reorg? I have heard there have been meetings on this but haven't heard any information yet.
"A core belief of our senior leadership team is that people work better in close proximity to other people...."
Really? Then why has there been a multi-year ban on internal travel? Requests to bring teams together for face-to-face meetings have been consistently denied.
I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE MOVIES

UTC & Honeywell? Still a possibility?
There has been so much illogical cost-cutting within Honeywell that it implies that something large is looming. Does anyone else think this bizarre leadership behavior indicates something significant? I wonder, are similar things happening at UTC?
