My first role out of college, worked across two SBGs (both not Aero) and while I’ve interned for other F100 type of companies I’m always curious how other companies are compared to here. I can see all the posts from you here and I agree with most... — read more

Older and unable to find a job?
It might help to get your (unauthorized) public profile deleted from MyLife.com, Spokeo, White Pages, BeenVerified, etc. That is what I will be doing this week. I googled myself and right up top of the search returns was the MyLife headline with... — read more
Why phoneix employees asked to reapply jobs, most literally changed roles/LOB
Looks like the whole of Phoenix employees were told to reapply their positions and almost everyone now changed roles and LOB in order to keep their jobs. What's leadership and HR intent ?
5 Competent Leaders left HON in April
I have come across LinkedIn posts of 5 very competent leaders (VPs and Directors in different functions) that had left Honeywell for better opportunities in the month of April only (don’t feel right to name them). I don’t think that they had any... — read more
NYSE to NASDAC
Gimmick . Can’t deliver product so smoke and mirrors for Q2.
Plenty of job openings, none for us
When people say there are plenty of job openings they're not wrong. I managed to find dozens of good ones in the last couple of months I've been looking. Sadly, none of them want those of us who are in my age bracket (mid-to-late 50s.) Out of the... — read more
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
Mexico trainees at the Engines Gear Line in Phoenix... This is how HON is dealing with the language barrier
Google Translate. That's right. Our HUGE mega corporation cannot hire interpreters to train the people that are taking over American jobs. F*CKING PATHETIC.
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
Ever wonder how much VPs make?
Thanks to their desire to make a 1% (or thereabouts) HIPAC donation, donors willfully disclose their salaries here: https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/honeywell-international/C00096156/donors/2020
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
Why is it now impossible to imagine anything like this?
Two generations ago, United Aircraft (parent of Pratt & Whitney, now merged with Raytheon) risked TWO THIRDS of their corporate capitalization to commit to the emerging technology of gas turbine engines. That bold move preserved UA's future for the... — read more
ACA Health Plans Pro's/Con's in early retirment?
For those of you that have retired early (voluntarily or involuntarily), excluding COBRA coverage, and decided to use the ACA as your primary method to obtain medical insurance in the years prior to qualifying for Medicare coverage, what has been... — 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
RIF Monster has been unleashed

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
Gear Line employees told today that shut down date has been pushed back by 10 months to October 2022
Seems like Mexico can’t get their sh-t together as fast as Darius would like!
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

How many people would rather quit than go back to the office?
I was amused by someone’s post about Honeywell not having to RIFF given the number of people who would rather leave here than show up in person at the office. Really? I do not think so. I’m pretty accustomed to working remotely, but getting me back... — 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.
How many Wichita employees will quit once their contract is up?
I wonder how many that transferred to Aero Olathe will leave once their contract has ended.
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
Repairs are slowing down at Aero Olathe Kansas
I wonder if furloughs are around the corner? I don’t see the contractors they just brought back, I wonder if they were let go? Keep those daily commits rolling !
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
