Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Maybe the "sunshine" only applies to India. America gets to keep the EEI. Just because.

One thing hindering
engineering experience
is the energetic purge of
older experienced engineers
and
replacement with fewer
energetic inexperienced
new grads

Just bend over and prepare for the next phase - do it quicker, better, agile, sprint, b.s.

I saw this email too.

I’ve heard no confirmation. Time to confirm or flame this thread.

The OP is correct. Watch the Q4 town hall.

Engagement follows leadership. Lack of “engagement” is simply evidence that leadership cannot articulate a reason to be in business. Aero leaders tried to get the workers to create this mission lacking the vision themselves. That tells volumes. Move on we have no new products.

too too late.

We seriously need to take this company back people. Stop embracing the giving of American engineering jobs to India.

I agree with the other post reflecting that this is entirely false. Engineers are very smart but most lack common sense. Not a chance this email was sent to the Engineering function.

It all the same folks — DDLP, EEI, Yield, group-goals . They want us to work that 15% fee OT. Don't be fooled by smoke and mirrors.

I am not in Engineering and after reading the OP I doubt a leader really wrote “RiP EEI”. Can someone verify that the OP is correct. I strongly believe it is not.

DDLP is much closer to direct charge yield. So its much better at determining if engineering is hitting affordability targets.
Its much better than EEI.

However, we can argue about where department targets are set. Unsustainable levels result in limited training, drive attrition, and force unsustainably large group sizes.

The year is done and they must have given up on making the AOP numbers … which is what our VP said EEI was all about in the beginning.

Does this mean I have to redo the recent estimates I did where we set the FTE hours per month to 172 ?

Old news... 4 months ago HR Director at E&PS Engines sent an email to the site telling everyone that EEI is not to be used to assess individual effort. It is to be used to balance workload amongst a manager’s staff. And, it stated to remove EEI from HPD goals.

Engineering leadership will brew up a fuzzy measurement; makes them feel good.

Yes and No. Not certain but I thought EEI was absorbed by another metric called DLP which I believe combines actual yield and EEI. Why? because it is yield that actually counts towards the bottom line not indirect spending. The company has never published the rules around all of this.

This is good news an definitely an improvement. They need to get rid of the id–ts that came up with EEI though.

I sure hope this is true. However, my gut is warning me that something much more Byzantine is coming...

The real test is if they take down the tableau page that managers like me see for EEI.

Remember when they wanted us to only have 4 goals in HPD (instead of 20.) The idea was to focus on 4 things that could really matter...what happened...most managers just jammed the old 20 items they wanted/tracked into 4 goals with tons of abbreviations...to the point where the goal was meaningless. EEI will be replaced by something worse.....I hope not, but all this company cares about is Wall Street and cost cutting. Measurement always impacts what is done....since most managers do not know how to lead, they only care about metrics...and the biggest metric is cost...so the answer is to offshore. Way to grow the business...zealots for growth/winning....i.e. can you really cut your way to growth? Future shape that! Just saying something does not make it so. I only see one way this company will change...when nobody foreign or domestic wants to work at the big H.

Weekly EEI is just how many hours you charged/40. But vacation hours are included, so someone that takes lots of vacation can look just as productive as someone that worked every day.
Good riddance.

Hopeful.
Now fire the people who told you it was a good idea (mckinsey?)

"I admittedly am not an expert on how this is calculated" is an interesting way to put some daylight between yourself and a legally questionable business practice.

Translation: Now that we've used EEI as a way to arbitrarily slash/burn headcount, it's no longer needed.

Boy this message from Sathish carries a positive tone as a take away from the initial reading.... I have that lingering thought that E.E.I. will remain - as a metric for reviews.
