Clearwater

I was on vacay with the fam and looked up the Clearwater site as I hear so much about it. What has happened to our sites? This one has knee high weeds all around, cracked parking lot, over grown bushes, etc.. There is a little drainage ditch covered... — read more 

Bangalore? Hello?

Any word on how the Indian engineering and test folks are doing?

Conflicting Bangalore Rumors

At my 1-1 my manager said the spike in cases in India has caused another lockdown and halted return to work efforts. They even mentioned a super viral strain. I searched news reports for Bangalore and indeed they have had a 'super spreader' strain... — read more 

Is anybody else excited about more layoffs?

Not for other people, of course, but for myself. I've never thought there'd be a point in my life where I'd be praying to be laid off but here I am. I don't even have anything new lined up, I just want out. I'd quit but I can't really afford it, so I... — read more 

I'm done with doing my best

After years of watching HON treat its employees with complete disdain, I have lost all interest in trying hard and doing my best for the company. Now I'm doing the bare minimum and spending any time I have left to search for a new job. That's as much... — read more

Will there be a change in the severance policy?

Someone asked if there were any changes in the severance pay policy recently, but there was no answer. That interests me as well, have there been any changes already, or will there be changes in the severance policy before the cuts? Are there any... — read more

COBRA subsidy, anyone???

well, for those of us in the U.S., we who have been paying for COBRA coverage, "may" get some relief via the COBRA subsidy included in the last stimulus bill passed by Congress. We are to receive notices of an extended election period must be... — read more 

Where to move on?

I keep hearing people offer "advice" to move on from the entire industry and I have to ask, where exactly are we supposed to go? Some of us have very specific skill sets that are invaluable in our field but useless anywhere else. Are you suggesting I... — read more

Proxy vote: an opportunity to actually be heard

As a HON stockholder, I just received my notification of the annual shareholders' meeting on May 21 and instructions for voting by proxy or virtually during the meeting. If you participate in the stock plan or have HON stock in your 401k, you should... — read more

How much do they actually know us?

I totally agree with someone who said that decision makers don’t have a clue what work any of us do. Sometimes it seems to me that they are not at all aware of what the objections of ordinary employees are and how things look from our point of view... — read more 

Layoffs after quarterly results?

Now that the Q1 results are known, how large do you think will be the volume of layoffs that follow? It seems to me that it will be the most critical for the people in Aerospace

Critical thinkers need not apply

Unless you're a yes–man you won't get ahead here. Disagreeing with anybody in the management even if you're right will only bring you grief and push your name closer to being added to the next list of cuts. New ideas are not only not welcomed, but... — read more 

When did it start?

When did it become okay to yell at employees at every opportunity? To intimidate them and threaten their jobs constantly? To bully them and lie to them at every opportunity? To take credit for their work then gaslight them about it? I'd just like to... — read more 

Pressured to fill survey?

Anyone else get a phone call from their manager about that survey? Are they offering a bonus to managers with high participation? I wanted to say “walk down the hall rather than call”... oh wait he is at home and I am at work.

Returning back to an office? WFH? Thoughts ?

We all know it’s coming sooner or later. What will Honeywell do about making its employees return back to the office ? Will it be flexible or forced ? Vaccinated or not vaccinated? We have all shifted our lives to work remote and we can... — read more 

Remove and improve

The entire upper management at Honeyhell needs to be removed! This place is doomed unless they’re replaced with competent people who know how to run a company of this size. The current management is the root of all of our problems. Get rid of them... — read more 

You have to sell your soul to succeed here

A former coworker who quit about two years ago told me when I was still new that you have to sell your soul to the de––l to succeed at Honeywell. Working hard, going the extra mile, stuff like that will get you nowhere. But making sure to kiss the... — read more 

Honeywell's Secret Sauce? Great Publicity

I saw this article and couldn't stop laughing. Cut, cut, cut, cut, make those left work more. Cut, cut, cut. I was "provided the alternative to permanently work from home...for any other company I chose" in November. Luckily, I was close enough to... — read more 

Less R&D expenditures

Starting a few years back, there is less and less allocation for research and development. I am ashamed when I see how much that amount has been reduced. As this industry goes through major changes, innovation should take a center stage, but there... — read more 

Organizing the workflow efficiently

Is it even possible to organize a workflow efficiently at HON anymore? I tried to organize my schedule in several ways and in any case at the end of the day I am so tired that I can't get enough rest until the next day.

How many hours are we expected to work?

I'd really like to know how many hours does this leadership expect us to work each day with the amount of work they've been dumping on our plates? Sometimes I can't get everything done in 12 hours, not to mention 8. I'm starting to think that those... — read more 

Will they know?

Is there any way for Honeywell to know I'm applying for other jobs outside of the company? Other than the company contacting them for references, which brings me to my other question: is there a way to ensure that the place you are applying to does... — read more 

Most of what I read here rings true (to me anyways)

I got out, almost a year ago, as a hand raiser during the COVID-19 layoffs. Lots of severance, continued health care for the severance period, a lump sum pension. I'm glad I opted for the "new" retirement plan when offered years ago. My wife and I... — read more 

How difficult is it?

I’ve been with the company for less than 3 years and I’m wondering how difficult it would be to move laterally so that I can gain more experience and learn new skillsets? I personally don’t see myself here for more than 10-15 years but would like to... — read more 

I'm no longer willing to relocate

Recently I was offered a promotion with a catch - I'd have to move cities for it. I turned it down flat. There used to be a time when I would have been overjoyed at the opportunity. However, with the direction the company's been headed and all the... — read more
