I know many are staying despite hating it here, I wonder if there's something that would make you quit even if you didn't have a replacement job lined up.

The first PIP and I’m going to a different company.
For me it was two massive ulcers. Two GI cauterizations and still internal bleeding.
Thank goodness I opted for LTD insurance.
A package (more likely to hit lottery), a medical issue (this place is taking a toll) or a little more time. Counting the days. I am only here because of my age. Younger I would not work here. Honeywell is very negative.
I came to the conclusion that it was never going to get better at the end of 2019 when they redid the job titles and I went from sounding like a somebody to sounding like a loser with no action required on my part. This, I heard through the grapevine, was in prep for moving the Band 4 individual contributors down to Band 3, meaning we would lose MIP eligibility. (Did that ever happen?) I turned my LinkedIn status to "Open to work".
Then we had the raise clawback and furloughs. Then my team got moved from cubicles to an area of carrels that were so close together you could smell your neighbor's farts before you heard them. I reached out to some of my industry contacts to let them know I was on the prowl.
In the meantime, I got a new boss who knew precious little about what I did, took my 4 approved HPD goals and combined them into 2, adding 2 more composite goals (read unattainable). He did not replace lost team members and did not help me get access to the resources needed to do my job at all. The stress was making me physically ill so I resolved to quit even if I didn't have another job lined up.
"Luckily" Covid hit and I was out in the mega-RIF. It was a happy Teams call for me. Life is so much better now.
Get let go for refusal to recieve an unapproved c19 vax if it becomes a mandatory condition of employment, otherwise, early retirement in 3 years.
Hmmmm, if Count Dairy-us were to quit tomorrow then I’d quit, make the sacrifice for the company
Karen, are you trying to determine what buttons not to push to keep beaten employees in line for the foreseeable future? Or is this just fun and games on your part? I left due to the toxic culture and I was tired of failing to protect my team members from shortsighted corporate and ALT policies. And because of the ridiculous demands and unattainable goals, and the narcissistic and condescending bosses. Everyone has their breaking point.
There is one manager left that I would not work for, only person I ever heard raise their voice in a professional meeting to publicly belittle a staff member. I changed departments immediately. That person is now the president of aero. Arrogant bully. He is better at hiding his temper these days I imagine. Executive coaching.
There are two managers within the company that I will not work for again. And there is one manager from a previous company that is an ax man. If I was put under the management of any individual or a combo of the three, I would walk that day. I can always find another job.
Done with Honeyhell. New contract for union comes up in January 31,2023.
There truth behind rumors. I am sure glad my goal was to leave. Once I encountered their horrible toxic work environment.
Definitely a union breaking tactic. Freeze older union pay and grand father you in. While dropping new hire pay. End results! You will be fired by new attendance policy. Replaced higher union members with lower pay union members.
Thus, breaking union for good. What’s the purpose of even having a union. When pay will be equal to non union shops. So whoever is left, they were probably vote out the union and for this reason.
Gone by end contract. Latest May, or August 2023. If not fired before this date. Replaced by lower cost union member. Either way! I have everything done. By the end of contact. So it won’t make a difference if they replace lower pay union member.
Good luck to all my fellow coworkers. Those of you we help make this place toxic environment. Judgment day has arrived for you. Some of you guys deserve what you getting.
Now you’re gonna find out what loyalty is from Allied Signal. You have it. Unfortunately they don’t have same feeling towards you.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Honeywell whips and abuses employees with constant negative feedback and destructive competition. Then executives wonder why those same employees are unmotivated, uncreative, and so insecure that they do not even leave the unhappy circumstance.
Do cows run away? Nope. They wander. Sometimes you get a smart one that likes the grass over there.. more often they come when called.
Witness the power of a toxic culture.
It chews people up domesticating them into compliant herds.
When was the last time you saw a cow hunt and ki-l a wolf?
Not saying it does not happen...just not very likely.
Moot question. I left years ago.
What did it take back then? Them screwing me out of my band 4 bonus; something evidently intended to royally pi-s me off. I wasn't in the elbow either, just the wrong spot inside the 5 block (???).
I had a gig lined up as a contractor and laid myself off and called it a retirement. I guess they played me pretty good but I couldn't retain my self respect if I had stayed. Fu-k Moneyhell.
You call me fat and slow behind my back hoping I will quit.
I plan to remain as a productivity anchor slowing everyone down until I am paid to leave. PIP my overweight and partially disabled person and I will sue faster than MM wipes bird dodoo from the hood of his Porsche.
Pay up, then I will leave.
A ham sandwich and an icy cold brew
There is not anything that would make me simply quit without having a new job lined up. At this time Honeywell is simply a paycheck.
I have financial responsibilities along with my wife to support our children, pay the home mortgage, utilities, auto payments, etc. BTW, I have an interview on Wednesday for new job to get out of this place and had another one two weeks ago.
For me, it would be a pay cut. I can take the cr-p for as long as I'm well paid for it. If not, then what's the point?
