Thank you retirees and ex honeywell people for continuing to post.
Often you hear things from your contacts that cannot be said inside honeywell. We need your help to stay informed.
Your experience reading political situations is often better than mine and I always learn something .. tidbits in the stream you might say.
Thank you
I live in a metro area with 2 major Honeywell sites, in completely different business groups. Upper management has been destroying one site for years (although it appears to be an on-going consolidating multi-BG hub that may survive now), and the other one had trouble finding employees. So many employees transferred from the dying Aero site to the other one. Now that other one is so f-ed up, those employees are scattering to other opportunities which likely are not found in this metro area.
So the metro area loses those people, and makes it even harder to hire new ones. It's like the greed of upper management, board, Wall St, etc, can't see the forest for the trees, as long as they get instant financial gratification. Some great long-term business planning there. Like something you'd expect from Ukraine (or Elbonia).
we in the US are treated as 2nd class citizens. Those in PR are 3rd class . Those managers /executives like MM, Mahooney , on up to DA are the 1st class. .... the elites .
Severely underpaid. Most people know this because of social media and networking sites. The US company has lost its US-IDENTITY. In fact, there is disunity in the US-Company.
The US company is full of 'non-US citizens' from Mexico, India and China. There is no way the company can be run as per US culture and laws. Also, communication is extremely difficult with non-US citizens whose work ethics, style of working and customs differ from US ethics, style of working, acceptable work conditions etc.
Retirees are stuck because they have no other choice but to cash out on retirement benefits. Young people and mid-age professionals (30 years+) are running away to other companies. It is an undesirable company and the young should stay away from it unless you are determined to transform this company.
Regrettably Honeywell has become an ongoing joke. I have talked to engineering students they already know that. It used to be a company in the US that folks wanted to work for. I am a recent retiree after 34 years in engineering in Aerospace. Good luck.
