Sometimes it feels like Honeyhell is working really hard to win a competition, only it's the kind of competition nobody sane is participating in. Are we trying to win the top spot as the worst company to work for? The company with the worst leadership? The worst work environment? I just wonder what is the "prize" if we come out on "top."

On the surface it looks like the company is gutting the company to make the financials look better for a sale. Otherwise, hard to explain this amount of poor decisions.
Honeywell hands down is the worst company to work for. I regret ever taking a position here, it was the worst career move I ever made and i all i can do is warn people to leave before its too late.

Gotta be #1 at something. At least at being the worst they are the hands on favorites according to Vegas betting....
We certainly lose the competitions that count, ITEP, T-X, the list goes on and on.

Revenge of the sociopaths. Was DA bullied? He can't sing, dance or chuck a football so the best path to wealth and ego nourishment is to climb the corporate ranks and bully his employees so that he can extract the most compensation in the shortest amount of time. He obviously could care less about his employees or customers. Wretched, selfish behavior. He wins, you lose. You don't want to know what he thinks of all of you.
History repeats itself. Capitalism was just the criticism of fuedalism says the economics processors. But we just replaced lords and serfs with employers and employees.. a model designed to take advantage of the lowest cost labor pool available ( remember Big Dave saying that work must flow to the lowest cost region? Sound similar?) For most of recorded history that lowest cost labor has been slaves. Really not much has changed. In the 70s it was the defeated japanese, then the rising chinese, followed by india, now the thai and other southern asian countries.
The attitudes of honeywell and other company leaders accepting thousands of times more compensation than the lowest wage humans they employ , regardless of location or ethnicity, will inevitably bring about a revival of the next historical economic model. It has already started.. historically these transitions are not easy. They start with labor unions, followed by massive government regulation and asset appropriation, they end with complete redistribution of capital ( aka means of production). The cycle starts again.
If you think this is nuts tune in to the NPR podcasts this month.
The prize is cash, but only for D. and his inner circle, and the stockholders. The way they get that cash, since the company isn't producing or selling much great stuff anymore, is to take it from the employees in the form of forced free labor, rock-bottom compensation/benefits packages, site closures, layoffs, furloughs, offshoring, and infrastructure scale-back (hot desking, reduced internal services, aging IT systems, etc.).
There is no "nice" way for them to do all that to employees on the receiving end of this campaign.
