Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Friday night m---acre at Urbana

  • All of 2nd and 3rd shift shipping and the head supervisor of shipping were laid off.
  • At least 6 contractors were laid off today. The are no contractors left in assembly, and (as of now) only 3 temps left in Fab.
  • At least 5 people were self nominated for the RIF a few weeks back and were let go tonight.
  • Office workers (whi have been WFH since March) will have a Team A furlough next week, then a Team B furlough the week after. Supervisors are on a rotating furlough as well.

I've never seen the parking lot so empty.

What really gets me is shipping being let go. Do the math. If we aren't shipping parts then we aren't making parts. If we aren't making parts then we aren't making money.

OSHA won't be the only issue soon. FAA, DCMA, DCAA, CAAC, EASA, you name it, Aero will be in trouble. Too many single point of failure employees are now gone, particularly those with knowledge about solving the problems and with the relationships and ability to talk to these organizational reps. Can't you see MM and crew trying to BS an ASE? Shutdown city!

@bju OSHA was around last week at least because the hydrogen detector kept going off in the heat treat area. Some f ing mo–n decided to just turn it off and have security walk by once an hour to make sure it isnt on fire........ which is not how a hydrogen leak works at all. It doesn't just catch on fire. A hydrogen leak critically builds until an ignition happens. Before ignition it is an odorless colorless gas. You walk into a cloud of that in an enclosed space and you are just knocked out. I would have called OSHA myself if I knew those d heads had turned that off.

@tdh This is actually the case at many sites. People don't understand how many of their "co workers" actually work for another company like JLL or KBR or Vallen or IDG. Many used to be direct employees but their function was either sold to or subbed out to some other company.
Those folks don't count toward HON's layoff numbers.

@wondering yea. Everyone at shipping worked for K&N, but the f ed up thing is a lot of those people used to be Honeywell employees, and they were forced to goto K&N or lose their job. Like I said they let go 20+ year vets yesterday.

The folks that worked in shipping didn’t actually work for Honeywell did they? Didn’t they work for Kuehne & Nagel? Did any actual Honeywell persons get let go yesterday?

I am one of the self nominees...Sad about shipping. I don't think they knew what hit them. I "heard" the same person who walked them out..after he was done..they walked him out. That's how they treat you. Good bye Honeywell
