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

Would you buy one?
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
If you are based out of Morris Plains, you should find a new job
Morris Plains is a dead hub. There are no new jobs based out of MP, no promotions, and they are closing the building. Yeah they have a 10 year lease, but that can and will be breached. Leave while you can on your own terms. Good luck to all who... — 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
Honest opinion of the new $300.00 Bluetooth face mask
Why would a consumer spend that much on a mask that isn’t medical grade protection. I’d like to hear everyone’s comments.
Honeywell has the same turnover rate as all off our peers
Of course that hides the big question of “who are your peers?” Every company lacking true vision,principles, and importantly the ability to accept risk ,will just fall back to median. Protected by the heard from any criticism of their ways they... — 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
Don’t know what everyone is complaining about
Honeywell is a great place to work: 1) Work life balance 2) Great pay 3) Looks out for its employees
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
