Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

I Don't Get It. Layoffs but Hiring

I'm baffled. They cut 20% or more and then you look on Linkedin to see people being hired at Honeyhell. What's going on? And it's not people in India or Mexico but US. Crazy.

How do you know you're time here is short? Have you had a title change to something so vague it makes no sense? Are you and your cohorts suddenly reporting to a random person that doesn't know what you do? Have you been asked to fill in a spreadsheet of your daily activities? Well have I got news for you! That spreadsheet is going to India and your replacement is being trained as we speak.

But wait! There's more! For every five US employees of your title that are laid off, one of you will survive but only after you've applied for a "new" position very eerily familiar to the one you just lost, well except for the pay cut of course. Your new job! Pick up after India. Chase things around. Fill out form after form with detailed information so they can maybe do their job right the third time.

Ah, progress.

Aero CLW is hiring engineers. We have lost soooo much talent in the last year. So many fed up with HON’s corporate BS and bad treatment of employees, the resignations just keep coming in. Impacting funded contracts very negatively.

Honeywell has been pushing hard for about the last ten years to get rid of the larger salaries. With COVID, they did just that. Now they're hoping to fill those positions with lower wage individuals. The problem though is that they got rid of loads of experience with no thought as to how to restart that business if and when COVID ends. Get ready for a lot of M&A activity by companies like Honeywell if COVID ends. Unfortunately, a lot of their business models have been blown up by their short-sighted handling of salaries, and they will likely have to walk away from a good portion of them.

I've been laughing seeing on LinkedInpeople from Macy's HR take HR jobs with Honeyhell. Good luck. Then I saw HBT HR on LinkedIn seeking marketing people after they just did a layoff, granted they are moving everyone to Atlanta. It's nuts

Fake postings are quite common after major layoffs. It is an attempt to convey the impression that the company is recovering. Few are fooled.

Hiring is just a “head fake” for a RIP and the same goes for Raytheon recently announced 15k or ~ 53% cut

The new hires may be for the new mask facility.
But I did not look at the details.

They are reshaping the company to be a software company not and industrial company. That what they mean when they said and refer to employees as “ Future Shapers” if you are not from the software industry or software world your time at Honeywell is very limits. Everyone not focus on software will be eliminated or let go in one of the up coming RIF’s over the next year. Same goes for businesses too.

Because each layoff is actually multiple individual layoffs, where each one is targeted to a unique skill set that can only be attributed to the individual person being laid off. Attorneys work with managers to ensure each description is unique. This skirts federal law where in theory a company cannot hire for a skill set being laid off for a year. Since the skill set is tagged to an individual it is easy to hire in the same organization since any req will be written to be legally different. Thank IBM for blazing the trail in creating or exploiting this loop hole and showing the rest of industry how it’s done.

You don't think they're going to replace older, more expensive employees at the same rate do you?
