Some advice to the managers
Every time you say the words "burning platform" you are letting your team members know you are a puppet and willing to stroke the ego of an out of touch VP with a bad idea.

When will the restructuring end?

Biometric results as a measure of policy
Can the biometric screening results track the stress induced by Honeywell’s relentless war on employees? I’d like to see the results show stress changes by year.
Message to Ellis about 15% unpaid overtime

Non-compete Agreement
I found a great position at a different aerospace company, but I don’t know if I can take it. Does Honeywell make employees sign a non-compete agreement when they hire on? I was hired over a decade ago and have no idea what I signed.
