Before I begin submitting applications I was wondering what types of questions HR is allowed to answer? From my understanding they are only allowed to give out date started/date ended, salary and would I be eligible for rehire. A coworker said that’s... — read more 

I haven't done a comparative analysis of severance pay here and competitors, but severance pay at HON is really shameful. Do you know how much worse it is than individual competitors? I only know that it is humiliating for all the people who have... — read more 

So I have seen for the last couple of weeks new faces at the site and realised that we are in a recruitment drive. Guys that were retrenched last year and given a severence package are being re-employed back. Although, I am happy to see those guys... — read more

There's no way I'm just leaving here without severance pay. It's ridiculous how much they try to get me out of here without severance pay using various subtle tricks. They are very creative when it comes to that. I believe they do the same things to... — read more 

Getting sick of having to lie to vendors about Honeywell not paying its bills. It’s not a part of my job description or skilllset. Guess I need to skill up than. Any chance there’s a course for that on the Learning Hub? Hard ball negotiation... — read more 

I haven't been at Honeywell for too long, next month will mark my second year. What makes me really sad is to see how scared my older colleagues are of layoffs. Everybody is willing to do whatever is asked of them even when it's unreasonable to make... — read more 

Asia is finally starting to get the picture. “We generally believe slavery has died away. In fact, it has only adapted to the new economic era,” a woman who writes under the name Xia Bingbao, or Summer Hailstones, said on the Douban social media... — read more 

Is there a proper exit interview at HON for people who quit? Not just a checklist to make sure you gave back your laptop and whatever else, but a proper interview where they ask about the reasons for leaving? A lot of companies find that exit... — read more

Anyone knows what is happening at Redmond?

My day consists of worrying about being laid off, more benefits being cut, being passed over for a promotion and a raise again, not upsetting my vindictive manager, being able to finish my work in time despite knowing it's physically impossible... My... — read more 

Companies like Honeywell practice "burn and turn" meaning they hire people for about 3 years or so, extract as much unpaid free overtime as possible through constant abuse, threats of layoffs and firing. Then once the employee is exhausted they force... — read more 

There has been little to no communication from leadership on what our future holds. The reason - lack of true leadership. Another possible reason is what most people suspect - the future here can only get worse. Another reason is that they... — read more 

I'm just wondering how many. I see a lot of people complaining about their managers - and I'm not doubting it's very much deserved - and I keep thanking my lucky stars that I'm one of the seemingly few who still have good ones. He is probably what... — read more 

I am 62. I was forced out after 34 years. For 32 years I was graded yearly as a good employee. In the final two years I was graded as the worst. The funny thing is I saw what was coming as my hair grayed, so I stepped up my game. My last two... — read more 

Curious what others' thoughts are on the recent return-to-plant communications: "voluntarily show us your vaccination proof which will unlock privileges such as no mask requirement"? There could be many reasons someone doesn't get a vaccine. I'm... — read more 

How any business treats its employees will determine its success. HON used to know this once, when it treated us as assets. Now, the company only sees numbers instead of employees and it doesn't care what and how much they contribute - if the number... — read more 

Did any of you who were invol RIF'd get your COBRA subsidy check to cover April & May yet ? I was told by benefits it 'll take 1 to 2 months to get it .

I’ve got 17+ years with HON. It is considerably harder to walk away mid-career with so many years vested. It’s definitely a damn if you do/damn if you don’t case. Do you hope and pray you can survive any future layoffs? Or do you try to move on... — read more 

I haven’t been here long so I don’t know, but someone mentioned that since 1989 when he joined Honeywell the benefits have slowly started to cut back. I wish there was some overview of how it all went downhill with benefits over the years. I'm just... — read more 

Has HON ever been a company that fosters an environment where work/ life balance is valued? I wouldn't say so. I am almost certain that this is the least important thing for them, and it seems to me more and more that they would prefer that we only... — read more 

Last year I was caught up in the Aero layoffs and it was very emotionally draining. Honeywell was the only company I had worked for but I was naive to think there would be a loyalty from Honeywell to it employees. Ironically at Honeywell getting... — read more 

All these VP's and Directors who think there is no way this would never happen to me... I'm in the know. One of my friends will tell me. Well, up pops a meeting with your boss and HR. Guess what? BAM! You have been Honeywell'd!

Listening to the "return to office" meeting. What a joke! Facilities are not ready. They had months to prepare. Typical half-a$$ed roll out from management.

Think big, then make it happen. Rate your boss.

That's a classic trap in any work situation. Being a "yes" man brings you more work, but not necessarily more personal satisfaction, or money. And, at the same time people expect you to take on more and more. Don't be fooled, HON likes "yes man"... — read more

Thoughts on why Honeywell has so many open and unfilled positions?
