Wait kind of trashbandicoot policy is it to make me go back in person when I can do everything remote?! If this policy goes through I’m out. They have roaches in the bathroom! These unsalted pretzels bum nuts making these policies think. I got other options LMAO

This company can’t keep its own people let alone try to hire new ones, it needs another name change to su---r new people to come in, yet they won’t fix their own self-destructive policies which contribute to this issue
I was looking for a job when I found this one. Honeywell is the most toxic place I've seen in over 20 years of my career so far. Your philosiphy is why Honeywell is about to lose a cubic buttload of people that know what they're doing. Only the naive newbies and "yes" b1tches will remain. If there are so many fools that will take it in the shorts to have my job, then so be it. There is no love lost and I'll shake the dust from my feet while I leave.
Now that may be a credible threat, if truly from a VIP. Whether it is for real or from a troll, that's exactly what people are doing...going back or looking.
Go back or start looking. I'm paying millions on leases so go back or leave.
And furthermore, @3yfk, I seriously doubt that anyone here will be making "idle threats" to HR to let them WFH or they'll quit. This is a venting board. We will either find another job before RTO, find one ASAP after RTO, or RTO and carry on with our work.
We don't need YOUR threats that we'll lose our jobs to influence our behavior.
But the hands-on work people aren't the ones wanting to change corporate policy for their own convenience and comfort. They aren't the ones threatening to quit if those policies aren't changed. That's no bargaining chip, that is an idle threat, and will cost you your job. There are a hundred people right in your back yard that would gladly take your job for whatever pay was offered. And, they would agree to whatever the company required of them in order to be hired, just like you did.
Same goes for the hands-on work. And if it can't leave the country for security reasons, they can easily find cheaper temp workers and send you home.
LMAO.
If you can do your job from home....Just imagine, someone in China or India can do it from their home for a quarter of the pay. Remember that, when you start bargaining to continue to work from home.
LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHA
You're totally clueless. I don't need to be in the office to productive. I've been owning this situation since last March. We now live in a different world. The best companies and workers understand that being productive has nothing to do with being in an old, moldy, ro--h infested, broken-down excuse for an office buliding. It has to do with getting the job done. As we've done since COVID, 2/3 of Honeywell jobs can be done from anywhere in the universe with a good internet connection. Stop grousing at people that don't report to you on a policy that has gone the way of the dinosaurs.
You poor baby! If you're looking for sympathy, you'll find it between sh1t and sy-----s in the dictionary. But, you won't find it from me. Just because your job required you to be on site, doesn't mean that I can't do my job from anywhere in the world and crush it like I've done for the last 16 months. It's not cool to make fun of mental illness or assume that it's why people don't want to go back to the office. I'll send you some cash so you can buy a clue.
@snr+ / @vwl+ / @kyy+ - I support production, and customers 100% from home for the last year. First time in 23 years at Hon WFH. When I go back to the office Honeywell will get 2 hours less work per day out of me. If you have to touch product in your job, I guess you have to be at the plant to do that. If you don't like it try to get a different job where you don't have to. I'll use procurement for an example - 75% or so of those folks are in India, Mexico, PR, Czech, Asia. That is the Honeywell decision. What plant should they go to? If you work with them, and don't support timely, that typically stops hardware so it doesn't take long for escalation emails. Everyone's situation is different.
The boot-li---r and the brown-noser need to be in an office environment to work their magic. Hence the extreme resentment over being deprived of that forum.
The competition loves Honeyhell, self-destructive policies keep driving more and more people to them, more vendor/suppliers are refusing to work with this place, transitions from site closures are a complete failure, company is just one big long never ending car crash
Agreed. Not appealing to return to the open office where i am the token US citizen anchoring an ITAR project filled with people from low cost regions.. all i do is police information so the top brass can make their numbers around sending work to india and czech and china.
Pretty sure the haters aren't Honeywell shills but just salty manufacturing people. Think about it - they're stuck on site doing their jobs so no wonder they're resentful about work from home. In truth they probably hate Honeywell the most out of anyone
@kyy, happy to know that you plan to move on. You will represent the company well as an ex-HON.
@avi, very admirably phrased!
@snr oh yea you are totally right! Because you can’t do something no one else should be able to! Makes sense! What else can’t you do? You should let everyone know so we can all adjust our lives to the same requirements you live yours! That way you will feel like everything is “fair”.... LOL
Totally get that you have to work from the office but the fact that others are able to work from home should really not be something that bothers you
I'll lay it out here plain and simple. Not all of us are able to work from home. Some of us have to be on site 100% for a range of reasons, it sucks but that's just how it is. For Honeywell to let others work from home and wave it in all our faces is not ok
Y'all being too hard on the anti-WFH crowd have some empathy. Maybe they don't have great personal lives
Lol at the haters below. Hates on everything - WFH, young people, people with OCD/phobia/mental illness. However only thing they seem to love is supporting the decisions made by Honeywell leadership. Strange... I wonder who could be behind those posts
As someone else on another post mentioned - Raytheon is already doing this...

Definitely agreed. A lot of competitors will be happy to hear of Honeywell's one-size-fits-all policymaking. Creates opportunities to design more competitive packages to attract away the best talent.
OK cool. So quit bi-----g about it and leave. No one will be missing you. I'm sure your next employer will love to hear all about how you left because the company wouldn't change their worldwide policy to fit in with your convenience.
Couldn't agree more. Whether or not you approve of remote work doesn't affect how much others value it, and won't affect employers who want to adopt flexible policies to attract talent. Hate all you want, fight the free market and you're doomed to lose...
Wow so much hostility to remote work. I'm guessing from people who are forced to be in the office by nature of their job requirements and feel that everyone else should too. A word of advice... comparing yourself to others will never leave you satisfied. Stay in your lane. If you want to work remotely then reskill into a job that lets you.
Just so you know, it's just one of us that are sick and tired of you lazy as--s complaining about actually having to go back to work for a change, like you freaking agreed to do years ago!!! There are several different posters and commenters here that I see that have very similar opinions, but varying ways of commenting. Get your whiny as--s back in the office, so you can't F-off all day long anymore in the comfort of your crumb filled couch.
@sje
Projection will get you nowhere... LMAO!
@tidepidemonkey how about you stop posting on everything like the salty boomer HR shill you are. go outside and get some vit D and eat an avocado toast LOL. I see you on other threads. Subtle.
@arr -- please tell us more about the enlightenment of Generation Tide Pod -- LMAO!!
The office where I worked had constant roof leaks whenever it rained. Like I had to cover up my docking station and other electronics on my desk with plastic bags. Not looking forward to covering up everything with plastic bags again every time I leave the office. I doubt the roof has been fixed. There's probably a mold problem now that there weren't people around to report leaks when it rained.
@response from the kool- aid drinking boomer - why don’t you tell me all about how you walked uphill both ways in the snow everyday to get to work and nothing should ever change because “that’s how it was before”
Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
While you obsessive–compulsive disorder and multiple-phobias slackers were working part time and getting paid for full time, we "Essentials" were commuting every day, getting temp screenings, wearing face diapers, and working mandatory overtime. I will likely be moving on from HW due to the low pay and abuse, but in the meantime, I look forward to seeing the covid snowflakes showing up and whining about having to work for a living again... LMAO
Honestly my site's open floor plan is actually so gross. I've seen cockroaches in the cafeteria and there's always someone coughing, sick, clipping their nails or eating smelly food. It's just so much nicer to be at my home workspace I'm dreading the return
