Can you even imagine something like that anymore? Today, people are either laid off before they come anywhere close to that or leave on their own to further their career (since we all know that ain't happening here.)

It's not a career anymore, it's a job. Would you like fries with that?
UOP use to be like that were people work there for many years not anymore. Thanks Honeyhell
At the last retirement party at my site, Honeywell was too cheap to even pay for a retirement party cake.
I last almost three decades in this company. I've commented before that this company is good in one strange respect -- it makes you actually feel good to be getting old. Every year older means that your escape from this penal colony is that much closer.
Bad form, posting someone's obituary to get yourself some attention.
Around 2012 I knew mfg eng guy who retired out of the machine shop in Phoenix with 40+ years. I will never forget his parting words he told us when management wasn’t around to hear... ‘I feel like I wasted my life because of what this place has become’. Sounds insane in text, but if you lived in the environment you knew where he was coming from.

There is no such thing as retirement for people hired in this generation.
Everyone is just a gig worker no different than the uber drivers that used to take me to the theatre.
Best as I can tell it isn't worth the energy to learn my coworker's names. They will change when either I take another short job or they do.
Going to be very awkward at the office. Lot of "Hey you" in my future.
I got to 37 years and was told drive two hours to a Honeyhell site or get fired, i said neither, I retired with a nice package.
Few last even five years in today's world. Rather than dedicated employees, you end up with bobbleheads who are happy just to warm a chair -- but they don't talk back to the failures in management.
Also you cannot quantify the mental toll or stress that is a part of HON’s job unfortunately. I don’t think that any bonus or small salary raise would compensate that. Although I was doing great in HON (from project-wise) and was supported by the LT but I left last year after spending 3 years in HON for a much better role, less stressful life and even much higher salary. I cannot emphasize that a good culture plays a significant role in your personal and professional life.
Last person I remembered working 50 years had a conference room named after him when he retired.
Honeywell is worse company out there for laying off engineers. Any individual who does not have family should work for them. Otherwise, stay away from them. They are worse company. We are waiting for my brother to realize he made huge mistake working for them. But he is not always smartest engineer out there. He is all about $$ sign, but if he had stayed with his other company in 4 months he would have had better raise. Oh well! Because other members of our family got their raise, and told him not to move.
