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 

Hon stock

Any insiders info on why Hon stock price is at $230 this morning?

They promote people who don't deserve it

It makes my head spin when I think of some people being promoted to places they don’t deserve at all. They are not up to the job and are generally completely wrong people for these positions. I don’t understand it, but it seems to have become a... — read more 

DV in Phoenix layoff, 4 let go 4/9/21

Hearing 4 people let go last Friday 4/9, anyone know how big this action is? My manager seemed genuinely surprised in this morning's meeting, but it's hard to tell with these conference calls.

The only thing they know to do

The only thing this leadership knows how to do is fill their own pockets. They don't care about making money for the company or trying to ensure it does well in the long run. They'll do what they need to do to ensure their f-tbonuses are paid out... — read more 

GLINT Survey

Anyone else receive the survey asking to “make your voice heard”? Odd after the IT issues we’ve recently faced that they would send out a survey like this from an external source.

The threat of layoffs is not motivation.

All my manager does is threaten us that there will be layoffs and that our team will be on the layoff radar if we don’t make our numbers. We are not children and we don’t need to be reminded that times are hard and that layoffs are an everyday... — read more 

This is not working out

In the past two years I've lost about 80% of my team to layoffs. Some of them have since been replaced with new people and if we are any indication of how things are currently being done in the entire company, then Honeywell is doomed. Before, my... — read more 

14% For free for staying, why not?

Still getting 8% 401k match & 6% Pension vesting (yes we still get it) and looking forward to $300k+ lumpsum pension payment the day I yank ripcord (took the ‘new’ plan the minute it was offered. So that $2k/month benefit plus having health insurance... — read more 

Be honest

I've been here for two years and most of it I hated. Some of my coworkers keep remembering "the good old days" but I'm having trouble believing this place was ever much better than it is now. I can understand that companies change but not by that... — read more 

Urbana Ohio Furlough: Unemployment question

So I know some of you all have experienced a furlough this last year. I have a question. If you know about Ohio specifically that would be great. We are being furloughed from 40 hours to 32 hours. An important bit if information is that... — read more 

Job Security in Honeywell

Long ago when I took my first job with Honeywell (Garret, back then) joining a global company, it didn’t meant just securing a job but securing your future for you’d know joining a global brand meant being with the company till retirement. It was by... — read more 

Hygiene Theatre

Time to layoff the much team that sold that airplane drink-cart/can–bis grow light. What a waste of time. Another round of acrylic plaques for small ideas. Second only to the waste of time ventilator team who worked non stop and never sold a... — read more 

Is it just me, or have layoffs slowed down?

How long has it been since we've had a substantial round? We haven't heard anything about the much smaller rounds in a while, either. Up until recently, we couldn't go a month without learning of more cuts. I'm afraid to think what does this mean... — read more 

Corporate taxes

Corporate taxes will increase. Less profit for Execs, Upper leadership. But hey, they want to keep receiving their millions. Where will the cutback will be?

Reduced Work Week

Just got the automated call that Urbana production (not R & O or folks working on Golden Valley Fab) will be on a reduced work week Mon-Thur of next week. Are any of the other sites on a reduced schedule?

Can we get some positivity here?

Nobody likes working here, I get that. But it can't be all bad all the time. There are breaks between layoffs and even your c-appy manager has to take days off. So tell me, on one of the better days, what's the one good thing you can say about your... — read more 

Feels like a competition

Sometimes it feels like Honeyhell is working really hard to win a competition, only it's the kind of competition nobody sane is participating in. Are we trying to win the top spot as the worst company to work for? The company with the worst... — read more 

Severance Policy worthless!

As my attorney advices, their Policy won’t help you, Honeywell authored it, if there’s a flaw against them, they just change the policy. There’s age discrimination, gender and we had to work on a hostile environment! So after 42 years & getting... — read more 

Do you feel valued at Honeywell?

I don't. I'm a good employee. I have the knowledge and experience that comes with decades of work in this industry. I always give it my all and I never complain. Despite all of that, I am certain Honeywell only sees me as a number and a paycheck... — read more 

Early retiree healthcare

Anyone who has retired early have any advice on where to obtain quality healthcare coverage, aside from Cobra and Obamacare? Planning my early escape, looking for healthcare options.

When did we start to celebrate mediocrity?

I totally agree with people who think Honeywell is doomed because it drives away the best employees, and rewards those who deserve it the least. The logic is quite clear, the talented will take their talent somewhere else, and only mediocrities will... — read more 

Changes not welcome

Have you tried lately talking to your manager about changing something work-related? A procedure that could be done more efficiently, stuff like that? I keep running into a wall despite the fact that a) the changes are not drastic and b) it's obvious... — read more 

Plant consolidations and more

It will appear that more and more of plant consolidations are being mentioned these days. With GS&I being ever more prominent, one would imagine when it will ever stop. Is the intent to actually have all forms of manufacturing out-sourced and all... — read more 

Burning Platform

Whatever happened to this, aggressively touted by senior management back in 2019? Is this still something they keep pushing, to justify their management culture from the neanderthal age? Some of the fiercest advocates of this self-defeating tactic... — read more 

Work-life balance

Is it just me or is work-life balance completely disappearing and morphing into a never-ending loop of work and sleep? I'm single with no kids so I can still take this but I have no idea how my colleagues who have a family are able to deal with this... — read more 

Are things looking up?

I was laid off over a month ago and I’m still trying to find something comparable in terms of bennies and pay. Anyone else out there still looking or has already found something? I’d be interested to know what industries are currently hiring. Thanks... — read more
