Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Most people that I work with will not give a two week notice. They will walk you out in an instant for no reason at all. I've always been a good employee and I've always given at least a two week notice. But in recent times I will never give Honeywell 2 week notice due to the horrible management of late. I will walk out with my badges in my desk with a note saying I retire!

9wwb,

Just leave your badge on the desk and leave. Lol. I heard that this was done in one of the engineering groups. A new hire just left their badge, left the company and didn’t tell anyone.

I plan to retire soon. My thought is to just walk out one day. I know that my boss, boss's boss, most managers I support could really care less about me. Very competitive, survival atmosphere (ISC) where I work. Not much working together and very thin on bodies. Just push to the brink. So why would I care. I have my own friends. In my career I have changed companies 6 times. Laid off twice, gave 2 weeks notice other times. If I was still worried about trying to get a good job, I would give notice. Everyone's situation is different.

We’re very replaceable up to our resignation day and then we’re desperately needed to stay a minimum of 2 weeks. Haha.

I’m not playing that game.

Special circumstances....hmmm. Don't know about the OP, but maybe a mental health issue where a shorter notice is warranted? Working with a boss to provide 3 week or longer notice so that transition/training is provided - once had a roommate who negotiated a 6 week notice to help with transitioning and the new employer was OK with that. Personal situations that warrant a different notice period than a standard 2 weeks. Bottomline, do what you feel is moral and right. My cousin was once hired by an old co-worker of mine that commented she appreciated my professionalism and work ethic when we worked together - I gave notice and offered to leave anytime in the next 4 weeks (because new employer didn't want me to start for about 6 weeks) and they asked me to stay the month, everyone was happy, and I got a few free days.

I gave a month's notice and then "worked" from home for remainder of my time. Since I was in a high profile high demand position (non management) I felt fine giving plenty of notice. Of course it was Dec. 1st and most where taking Dec or most of it off. Loving early retirement...it's everything I'd hoped it would be!

My group was never the same after I left and hasn't had one FAA TSO in the last 5 years even though several were planned.

As soon as I was told I must report to a honeywell site, I gave my notice affective close of business that day.
They played with me for over two months finally they handed over to legal. I did get severance and my 6 weeks vacation .
I wasn't about to drive over 2 hours to a Honeyhell site for these clowns. I retired.

1xgv,

Nothing?. No examples of special circumstance.

I guess your point is that the 2 weeks are always required regardless of how horrible things get.

I don’t buy into that. That sounds like something executive leadership would say in order to keep their profits up and Wall Street happy.

I’m waiting on this special circumstance. Please provide an example because I think Honeywell has already provided more then one.

Give the two week notice, in writing. If they decide to walk you out early, they still have to pay you for the two weeks. This applies only to exempt ee's per FLSA. Also, if you are walked out early you may be entitled to unemployment benefits as it could be considered a termination.

Don't think this company deserves any notice.

Receiving your 401k match is the norm at most places. If losing a 401k match isn’t a special circumstance then what is?

Honeywell is definitely not in the realm of most places. I’d say Honeywell is vaporizing bridges.

A majority of 2 weeks notices are now coming with a week of vacation.

Oh, please. A two week notice is the norm at most work places. Why burn bridges u less there are special circumstances. The vast majority of friends, coworkers, and myself, have given 2 week notice to both big and small employers (sometimes even more when offering transition time for employer) in the almost 25 years I have been in the workforce.

Never give a two week notice. As an at will employee you may quit instantly or be asked to leave on an instant.

Don't be too polite and end up with a poor bargain. Take care of your interests and those of your family

Yep
Work to live
