Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

I got RIF'ed from P1 almost 10 years ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to my career. I'm making more and far happier where I am now doing similar work.

Join the club.

Sorry to whoever thinks I am some silly pipster from the clean room but I am not. The way site lead told it, all programs in P1 are behind. True or not, I don’t know. To whoever said what’s the problem if the work needs to be made up…the problem is lack of equipment and WIP. Can’t do my portion of someone else isn’t doing theirs and adding 10 hours a week, which many people on site have said is illegal, is definitely not going to help that. We have things to do after work so can’t stay late and most people can’t even get there at our regular start time so coming early isn’t going to help either.

Not ALL programs in Plant 1 are behind. Don't tie everyone into the fruitcake factories that are behind based on he said/she said conspiracy theory nonsense. There are at least 3 to 4 programs within the plant that are shipping on time. If you paid attention to the "meeting" this truly affects only 2 programs. One that's so bad, they have their own repair line and its sister program. Knock off the sky is falling nonsense. My assumption is that OP is one of the clean room PIPsters whose lips flap harder than they work. Calm down, do your job, and just know that your $0.25 raise is coming.

Only P1 is behind? Outstanding news.

Looks like not much has changed. Retired from Engines 10+ years ago and mandatory 56 hr weeks were required for months on in. Back then even for military programs that by contract required a min of 4 days a month off.

By the way, it’s illegal. If mgmt directs us in writing, then its game over. If this is a new work model, then Honeywell would need to update their bidding & billing rates with DCAA, as well as renegotiate forward-pricing rates. So a $100/hour engineer would be an $80/hour engineer in the government contracts’ eyes. This verbal EEI flowdown is basically fraud to increase profits & gross margins, and is illegal & demoralizing. It is detrimental to the workforce, and cannot be maintained long-term. If Honeywell hires the staff that is bid in the contract then there would be contracts that meet schedules, and a non-overworked workforce.

So this is how it goes.

based on programs ( funded ) through GOV contracts, engineering hours is billed to the government. So if you over drive those engineering programs, then you get more revenue

So phoenix leadership dudes who are mostly non-Americans now, don't care, since they want their stock option payout to be intact.

So play around with excel, forecasting revenue short fall, so milk the US government contracts.

Forced 5 days at 10 hours? Why the easy schedule if work needs to be made up? A 50-hour week at Honeywell is like a vacation.

More hours won’t help.

too late kiddies. Heads will roll. 50 hrs a week minimum and pay for 40
