WTF?
Is this legal?

Honeywell will continue hyper aggressive cost cutting using every little trick they can to shave off more regardless of the impact to business. The future is irrelevant in the narrow thinking of the current quarter to quarter mentality. Honeywell will be bled until the remains are split up and sold off.up and sold off
They prefer a cheaper and more "coachable" work force; desperate immigrants, "keen young bobbleheads" seeking recognition, contractors who've fallen on hard times.
Your future shaper. When y’all wanna get promoted. Y’all imitate each other. Walk around with big heads. Y’all think you’re better than everybody else and really high on yourself.
This is the only outcome you can have. When you hang out with a bunch of vultures or hyenas. You’re like pray. When they let you go for RIF. They all come swooping in to eat up your position.
It is, as long as it is not at the same site you were located at or is posted as different in overall job function. They could also lower the level. It's common to move the job site as justification.
You are an employee at will and your HIPAC contributions enable the outsourcing of headcount to low cost regions.
Su-ks don’t it…..
Worth checking in with a employment lawyer, a lot will give you a free consultation or no win no fee type contract so nothing to lose. I did think they had to give at least 6 months before re advertising. When I lost my job in Charlotte they posted it a week later in Mexico, that is legal and now a regular occurrence at Honeywell.
The swap out also saves them money on vesting, new employees have to survive 3 years of he-l to be vested. It also reduces severance exposure and gives them opportunities to re employ for less. Honeywell is a slow burn asset strip right now, they are su-king value out of the business to fund a period of extreme payouts to the board. It is a legal grift.
Some of the positions posted are not real it’s just to satisfy a requirement to hire a person on a H1B visa.
Allied Signal got in big trouble in the 90's for doing this. They have honed their skills to perfection and figured out how to get away with it. Allied Signal IS Honeywell.
This is how they reduce pay and balance the budget. It’s one of the go to tools HR and management use here for that. Eliminate your job- hire very young naïve people a few months later at a much lower pay rate. It’s SOP here. They did the same thing in my department. The laid off persons job was posted one month later.
