Honeywell is splitting up. After Blake’s poor performance, maybe they will be interested in Rockwell. Thanks for sc--wing up Blake. Take your worthless sidekick Becky and leave.
Layoffs after earnings call?
Will there be layoffs after the Q1 earnings call? Is Blake actually done as CEO after Q3 or is that just a rumor?
Cut the sh-t

Blake is a fraud
Tell me why he is not. He has let the most competent leaders exit. His new leadership team is weak. And the stock price stinks and competitors are licking rockwells behind.
Do layoffs happen often?
I'm new to Rockwell, having started just three months ago, and it's a bit unnerving that I already have to stress over layoffs. Is this something I should expect to worry about regularly, or is it more of an occasional, once-a-year thing, or... — read more
