wonder if this means anything. UOP President has to do her job while a replacement is found. that now makes at least 2 UOP VPs leaving (including UOP VP HR).
The most important thing is to know when to quit
I am quite satisfied with the opportunities I had here to upgrade my skillset. How about you? I started sending resumes the moment I felt that I was starting to stagnate in that respect. I have received several good offers, probably thanks to the... — read more
Our benefits are terrible
I saw that our deductible and out of pocket max are going up as if it didn’t already suck
Lack of employees is not my problem anymore
I've done so much overtime that now I'm starting to feel stupid for exhausting myself so much. I should have left long time ago. HON uses the fact that employees fear losing their jobs to make them work very long hours and subordinate their personal... — read more
HBS Global Sales Organization Model
I left HON about 18 months ago - right in the middle of a transition to a new vertical sales model. This was conceived by the new brain trust and leaders that seemed disconnected from the realities in the field and what customers needed and wanted. ... — read more
Clearwater employees - You should have called MSM about being forced to work during Ian!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/09/28/florida-ceo-postcardmania-hurricane-ian/ This id--t CEO told her employees to come to work during Hurricane Ian, saying hurricanes were always overblown. Then she made the news. That's what you... — read more
Question for those who left
This is a question for those who either left on their own or were laid off and still visit this forum (I know I would for the sheer entertainment value): now that you've put some distance between yourself and Honeywell, is there one positive thing... — read more
Make sure you are upset at the right people
Offshoring has always been the goal so long as greedy shareholders are involved... it's been happening continuously for 40 years ever since Jack Welch started it at GE and then other companies followed. The shareholders love it because it's a quick... — read more
Don't trust them!
I don't want to raise panic and I don't have any information about layoffs, but considering my experience here, I just want to give advice to others to never believe if the boss tells them that there will be no cuts, because the cuts at HON never... — read more
Forget in-line promotion
Should we forget in-line promotions in Honeywell now? From the latest all hands seems like upper management is not going to encourage any in line promotions
VOE Season!
Tis the season for voice of the employee. We value your opinion so please enter your thoughts - HA! What a joke! You best be on guard they know who you are, even feeble mgmt said so in their fear-mongering meeting(s). Think your comments go to the... — read more
HR Playbook
After losing most of the younger ISC engineers at South Bend Aero, the solution to our culture problems is here... the ping pong table! We also have family day next Saturday onsite at our dumpy factory, with mandatory inventory the following day... — read more
Sh_it show in IGS!
It’s a complete sh-t show right now at IGS. Too many people up the ladder and few below actually doing work. Frequent org changes will not fix issues. Leaders can’t even find a proper tool to forecast labor, and expects engineers to be efficient... — read more
Aero Olathe R&O on Mandatory 25% Overtime thru end of year
Just announced this morning. Amazing news with all the parts shortages how they will really help the shop.
AERO Doing well?

Offshoring engineering
As per Girish, Seems like Honeywell is going to offshore engineering in IGS.
IGS townhall.
KF said we are not responsible for the layoffs. No sir you are 100% responsible for putting all your eggs in 1 basket.
PIP should be abolished
PIP? Its more of a musical chair event rather than a development tool that our cunning HR peeps likes to call it. The consequences could be either we leave a long time employee unmotivated and because he/she is unable to leave his/her current job or... — read more
Smart Energy and Thermal Solutions are being combined.
Sadly some people will loose their jobs during this merge of groups but I am curious what others are thinking about this joining of businesses and the VP GM of the new SETS business.
Do not show fear of losing your job
Of course there are always exceptions, but I think that most managers are actually just taking advantage of the fact that some of us still can't find a better job. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but they seem to be able to feel how much someone... — read more
Will Morris Plains site close soon
With all the consolidation going on in the building I was wondering if the site was going to close soon
Poor Intermec/Honeywell
Horrible SAP implementation. Awful Robinson acquisition. Revolving door leadership. Inept GMs. Supply Chain disruptions. Great people terminated. Good luck to those clinging to the hope that this business will turn around.
Pay hikes?
Can we assume there won’t be any raises this year?
Careful what you ask for...
If you are concerned about globalization, AND are against coming into the office- you are fighting yourself. As companies become comfortable that jobs can be done from anywhere, they will press for the cheapest labor to do that job. Food for... — read more
Pension Lump Sum offers
Lump sum pensions are being offered to some former employees at this time. The website to upload an application is broken. The upload feature does not work. (I tried Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft). Can this company do anything right?
Layoffs and PIPs
Honeywell leadership is a two-trick pony. All they know are layoffs and PIPs. Profits are down? Layoffs. Severances are too expensive? PIPs. Shareholders are restless? Layoffs and PIPs. Rinse and repeat. Considering that stock is at its 52-week low... — read more
Nearing retirement?
Pay attention to interest rates. Plan dependent. Many plans have a lump sum option based on market rates. Every year they reset payout values based on expected interest rates. As rates go up your lump sum payout goes DOWN and it goes down fast. ... — read more
Selling IGS?
Is Honeywell selling IGS? Seems like they sucked as much as they can over 4 years now.
Mass exodus in HR
Does anyone know why there has been a mass exodus of HR people under PMT?! What gives?
New Hires … Pay Attention
Nothing tells you more about Honeywell than the help line for hurricane assistance to Florida being open from 9AM to 6PM Philippines Standard Time. Send an email if that isn’t convenient. No that isn’t convenient. Lockheed has a tent in the... — read more
HON has become too toxic
Every company I worked for had a certain level of toxicity, but HON has outshined all of them. Do you know one person that works here who has not at some point been a victim of workplace abuse? I'm not saying they don't exist, but I don't know any... — read more
R3 layoffs coming soon?
Are round 3 layoffs coming soon? Maybe right before thanksgiving since Honeywell likes to save money on giving away free holiday money?
So true
Honeywell used to be an engineering company with great products & customer support. Now, the accountants are running the asylum! Customer service is gone to folks that don't know the product & the only products are poorly documented & poorly produced... — read more

COVID Exemptions
Just curious… Did they really cancel all the WFH COVID exemptions? Thought Sept 19 was the day everyone was on the hook for the 3/2. It’s been 2 weeks now and I know for a fact that 95% of those on an exemption at our site still have not been back... — read more
Everyone should have a preplanned PIP response

What will DA do if Hurricane Ian strikes Charlotte NC?
My bet is he will jump into the corporate jet and fly to Europe to lay off more workers.
Incredible lack of empathy
I understand that it's all business and that for HON we're all just numbers who weren't hired to make our lives easier, but of those at the top, but still... is it possible that this company doesn't have a shred of empathy for their employees... — read more
