Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Aerospace Reorganization

Tiers 1 & 2 of the new organization are out. Aero now has 10 presidents and (get this) at least 110 Vice Presidents! That's probably $40M+ in salary (not including all the Senior Directors and Directors), yet they RIF productive junior people to reduce costs. Jobs for the boys?

The new organization is so complex it's taken 2 webcasts (so far) to explain it, and people still don't understand it. The hype will not stop it being a disaster. The underlying truth is that many product lines have little or no new work, or prospect of new work. Employees are not blind to this and the exodus will accelerate.

@1fnx - don't buy it - go watch Hidden Minds about the black, female engineers or see how many women graduated with business degrees in the 1970's - they are in their 50's and 60's today.

I've seen a few posts here lately complaining about diversity among the leadership team. I'm as upset with the company as anyone, but not over diversity. Think about the generation that the leaders come from. How many females, blacks, and Hispanics went into engineering or aerospace engineering at that time? Next to none. Even now with our quotas of 60% or more of new hires being female, only 10% of engineering graduates are female, and that is a drastic uptick from decades ago. So, complaints about diversity are empty. Please complain about something real or something that matters.

Hmm..reorg Tier 4 and 5 without any RIFs, pay VPs and Directors six figure salaries to only answer metric questions during multi-hour long phone call-in meetings with ALT, begs the question what are they contributing to revenue growth? They even don't make their own slide-decks!

Not to mention the great majority are men. Except for "human resources and communication". Of course. Just the pic of almost all men screams lawsuit to me. In case anyone needs an idea ;)

They're separating the various business units to make it simpler to sell of the mechanical portions of the business. After all, Honeywell wants to be a software company, right?

Tier 1 and 2 change. Why is that a big deal? No more supervisor?

The marks of a company in trouble: Get rid of all your expendable costs, such as workers, and keep your higher level of fixed costs (presidents and vice-presidents) to show Wall Street that your company is on the road to recovery because now you have people in the position of leadership that know what they're doing. LMAO

I have been at this company for 20+ years, and everytime we have had a RIF, it has created a new level/layer of management. If everytime 1 of my coworkers got let go and I received a higher title afterwords with more pay, I would lovd these RIFs just like the elite Tier 1 and 2s do!

They can't get rid of all those VPs and Senior Directors. Who's gonna sit around all day coming up with acronyms if they're gone?
