Virtual watercooler says 20% is moving When will the shoe drop for those not moving (let go) Who will man the farm!@!!!
Could anybody fix this?
Do you think there's a way to fix Honeywell or are we beyond the saving point? I'm not talking about whether the company will survive or not, we all know it will - those on top will make sure they have a cow to milk for a long time to come. What I'm... — read more
Low investment in security + employment turnover = debacle
“Security is a top priority at Honeywell” unless it costs too much, and then well if it impacts the Upper Management’s MIPS, or if the passwords are left open because of employee turnover..... Just Sayin! I would not add anything more, I... — read more
Clearwater
Rumor mill going wild. The head honcho being “transferred” after allegations of s-xual misconduct. Apparently the locked conference rooms aren’t locked if you have a master key.
Memphis Wheel and Brake
Is it closing or closed?
Are the computers up and running?
Any updates?
Did we get hacked? Almost all of Urbana stopped production.
No one can use the computers at all. They came on the floor and told us to unplug the computers. Team center and a bunch of stuff hasn't been working all day. 2nd shift basically were sent home.
Burned-out employees...it's them, not us
A Harvard Business Review article maintains that burned out employees are the product of bad work environments, not bad employees. The top 5 reasons cited for burnout in a Gallup survey are: Unfair treatment at work Unmanageable... — read more

MIP and Raises
What did the MIP payouts and raises look like this year? Were people rewarded for extra work that the did this year like the leadership was promising? Did a lot people get retention bonuses or raises?
So much incoherence?
There is no Management, no working together, no one to consult to on issues - just emails, hand-offs and pushers. How many of us can say their manager has no idea what you do? It’s every man and women for themselves at Honeywell. Thankfully for me I... — read more
Honeywell has lost its compass completely
All the things that used to matter are now irrelevant if an excel sheet says so. Years of experience, invaluable knowledge, always going that extra step...none of that matters if your pay is higher than whatever some pencil pusher said it should be... — read more
Here are some facts about working at Moneyhell:
1) Engineering is not a Profession. Why? Name one profession that gives away time for free. Lawyer? Nope. Doctor? Nope. Accountant? Nope. Moneyhell Engineer? Yes! 2) Salary compression: One HR mission is to hire you in from college then slowly... — read more
Darius 9-Block Rating
Darius should publish a 9-block rating and a 360 rating to encourage an open and honest workplace.
Hourly to Salary with promotion. Is it worth it?
I know that there will be a substantial mental cost. But , If an hourly employee is making $100K a year with annual salary plus overtime, is it worth it financially, to make the jump to band 03 supervisor? Actual number ranges would be helpful.
Lousy place to work
Honeywell has become the type of the company where people go to see their career die. Nobody gets a job here anymore unless they absolutely have to because they can't get a job anywhere else. Nobody smart is even considering joining this place. The... — read more
Ops Managers are getting scared.
Team – As I’ve communicated for a significant amount of time, our overtime is not where it needs to be. We have too many people working 40 hours and a small number working significant overtime. Our backlog is 7 weeks of work and we receive more... — read more
Managers are getting worse and worse
I've noticed that going to the HR has the opposite of the desired effect on abusive managers. Since the only thing that happens is things get swept under the rug, they know they're safe to continue doing what they've been doing. This just makes them... — read more
Ex Comdev Aylesbury site closure date - December 2021
Just a quick update on the Ex Comdev Site Aylesbury closure dates. Sad day at the Ex Comdev site in Aylesbury, final termination dates of September for about half the staff have been issued. The rest to go at end of December when site finally... — read more
Don't be scared of layoffs
Embrace them. Honeyhell has been a lousy place to work for a long time so leaving can't really put anybody in a much worse position. Especially if there's severance at play. Everybody I know who was laid off (except for one guy but he is one of the... — read more
Has anyone leveraged another offer to get promoted at HW?
Debating doing this or just hitting the door. Any past experiences on this?
Layoffs before April?
What are the chances there'll be another round of layoffs before April?
Are things still the same?
I left right before the pandemic over a year ago for a better opportunity. Since then I visit here to see how things are going and if anything has changed. Morale was horrible back then and there was so much bureaucracy coupled with politics. Due to... — read more
Create your own job security
I see so many people complaining about the lack of job security at Honeywell but here's the thing: there is no such thing as job security anywhere in the industry anymore - or even outside of if, for that matter. What you can do is create your own... — read more
Handsome reward for ruthless culture
Now the largest industrial by market cap, not very big compared to tech but $148 B means DA and cronies get to make out big time. Other companies will unfortunately being to copy abusive practices
RUMBLINGS
Heard some big new rumblings (departures) in the upper echelons of Aero (Electronic/C—pit Systems/AT). Can anyone confirm? Looks like MM at play, for not meeting AOP.
Hand Raise Unemployment
Has anyone had any issues in getting unemployment after being laid off by “hand raise”, i.e., volunteering for a layoff? Thx
Contemplating
Are there any ex-Honeywell Associates on here that migrated to Sarica? Or do you know of anyone who has made that trek? If so, was the pay comparable to what you were used to? Probably only the Urbana folks can answer this question
Most ethical company if you don't count ..
BLANK. 1) PIPS as a starter
HIPAC
Given the Biden administration's push to pass pro-union legislation, we all need to step up and increase our HIPAC contributions. This is very important. Make sure you do the right thing and contribute.
I miss the old Honeywell
I miss the days when being a top performer on your team meant that you'd either be promoted or get a nice bonus or receive some other benefit. Nowadays, the only thing you receive is more work sent your way. That's it. Which is a c-appy way to treat... — read more
More laid-off from UOP US office?
I see few more people popping up with green ribbon on Linkedin with their end date of Feb 2021 at UOP, Des Plaines. I knew there were layoffs in January, but not sure if additional layoffs happend in February, anyone? I wont be surprised if that... — read more
Well, well...
There's nothing Honeyhell would like more than to eliminate ALL U.S. based employees (except for Darius' ego-support battalion). They love the thought of low-cost workers churning out software around the clock never complaining, or threatening a... — read more
Help to improve prior to the PIP?
Well, I personally know of people who have gone on to management after a PIP. So, just comply with the plan outlined for you and keep it moving. I would look for another job though because I wouldn’t stand for a PIP in my file that wasn’t warranted... — read more
PIP

RSU’s worth hanging around?
I have to kiss butt for 3+ years.... are they really worth it?
