If I have an offer from another company that comes with better pay, can I approach my manager and ask for a match? I'm still not sure if I'm going to take it. I don't particularly like HON, but I'd have to move for the new position and with three... — read more
Is the lack of transparency in HW company culture disappointing to you?
I have worked in many companies and none of them could be praised for transparency. However, HW is the least transparent company I have worked for so far. I would rate the openness between managers and employees as very bad. To me, this indicates... — read more
Christmas Gone at Honeywell
Not that this is new, but does anyone remember when Honeywell at least gave its employees a free Xmas lunch? And before that a free turkey? Now, not even a Xmas card. You know how they really feel about employees when they can't spare a $10 lunch for... — read more
Pulse survey UP UP UP !!!
K. Matersmore apparently does not understand “margin of error” for surveys. They took a few questions (different than first) rated on scale 1 to 5? If I recall … maybe different. Definitely not the scale 1-100 they report. Goes up 1 point (in a... — read more
A warning for newcomers
I started to work for Honeywell when I was in my early twenties. I'll never forget the day my new manager took me around to meet all the employees from different departments. The resounding comment as we would depart would be "Good Luck you'll need... — read more
The most depressing end of the year?
This will be my 7th Christmas at this company. This one is the most depressing, at least for me.

Boeing Suspends COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate. When will Honeywell?

This site is overrun by foreign trolls
Trying to ferment dissent in aerospace and defense sector. Who are they? Russian? Chinese? Iranian? North Korean? Take a guess below. 🤔
Where is HW going?
What is the leadership's plan to achieve that goal? I think more and more that this company is losing its direction and I don't want to stay in such a company.
Year End Results?
Does anyone have knowledge of the year end results; specifically Aero? Are we in the +++ column, or should we expect furloughs and layoffs? I can't believe we made it far enough along that they can't now do a Rifmas, just because it's their nature.
Do 3:2. Like 3:2. Or else we’re going back to 5:0.
They are closely tracking compliance, down to the individual. The message is clear, do 3:2 or we WILL go back to 5:0. I think it’s ridiculous, but be aware, it could be worse.
Anybody else leaving today?
I stuck around long enough to collect my 401-k match, now it's time to get the hall out of this place. Anybody else out there have their last day today?
I'm getting overwhelmed with work
We have lost several people from our team in the past year, some to layoffs and some were lucky to find new jobs and leave on their own. Instead of getting at least some replacements, what happened is that their work became our work. Considering that... — read more

Is this what the Finance Leader post was about?
What would be the response if
a miracle does happen and HW offers a voluntary layoff? (although one probably shouldn't get hopes up that this will actually happen)
When will Honeywell back off?
The mandate is on hold for "Fed Contractors" across the country. When will Honeywell finally back down. And how long are they going to make people virtue signal with those du_b masks? It makes no since and never did but now that the EO 14042 is on... — read more
401K Annual Limit Question
It's my understanding that I can contribute a maxium of $19,500 in 2021 (goes to $20,500 in 2022). Is this the amount I contribute PLUS whatever the company puts in? Or, is this the amount that just I put in my plan and the company match does not... — read more

Be happy you still have a job
Is anybody else sick and tired of that phrase? I keep hearing it more and more, whenever I complain about HON (and I admit, I do complain a lot). It seems that so many people are willing to disregard so many bad things that have been happening here... — read more
Hey! The play room at 19th Ave is open!

What is the reason for such a disconnect?

One Day Until Deadline
Anyone know or hear of someone being denied an exemption? Most of my office heard back yesterday. Still wondering if anyone else is waiting their decision or has been denied.
Rate your manager in the 9-block
Happy HPD season! What block would you put your manager in? I’ll go first - 8. And I’m being generous on behaviors.
HON is disorganized and inefficient
Thanks to our poor management from top to bottom, I've never worked for a company that was this disorganized and inefficient in its day-to-day operations. We need constant layoffs because that's the only way they know how to compensate for all the... — read more

How many cases of COVID at your workplace
I was just wondering how many cases of COVID have been reported at your site. Just the numbers. I don't want this to be a vax vs anti-vax thread. At Plymouth, MN (Aerospace site) we had an email come out that said 5 of our co-workers tested positive... — read more
