if you think the solution to the issues at hand are to work less and do nothing then you have become one of those you despise That is a shame. what you should do is stand tall do the best you can do every day within the circumstances presented. It is not your company. You just work there. If you do not like it you have the choice to leave. If you stay you the need to accept the krap. Sad but true. Do not compromise who you are and become just like them. Be bigger. Be better. You have a choice every day. It is not easy, but at least you can hold your head up knowing you did the best you could do within the constraints put in front of you. Peace

I need all you s---ers on your A game next week!! We lost a lot of Production with this furlough and you all need to make it up and then some! If we dont make the numbers in q4 it will be more furloughs and layoffs. Soon it will just be me all alone sitting on my empire of dirt.
Back to work, minions!
Well sir, you are welcome to work as hard as you think is necessary to make yourself feel good. I choose to not that. That's exactly what Dave wants; he wants you all to work extra hard, meet those goals, achieve those milestones, and make him rich. But you see, he doesnt want to pay for this; he's going to take as much money from you as he can. I am not going to just take this, but its clear you are.
You are delusional if you think you can "stick it to the man" by being a lazy piece of sh!t. Thanks for nothing @sshat
You are delusional if you think you're not next. Employees are not causing rifs and furloughs; its the greedy scumbags that run this company. Nothing more. Simply put, they want their productivity to remain the sane while lowering their costs (your salary). The solution is to furlough people then work everyone else twice as hard. I refuse to come in and work hard for these greedy jerkoffs. No merit increases, pay cuts at every turn all to feed wall streets greed. This is unacceptable so my solution is to cost the company as much as possible. They take from me, I make them pay. Simple as that.
Those of you who choose to slack off because you're upset with the company are ONLY affecting those of us with integrity that will have to do more because of your "entitled" attitude. Neither Cote nor Mahoney care, in fact you are playing right into their plan to drive this company into the ground so they can sell off the pieces. So congrats on hurting your fellow coworkers while you play "baby". It's your only accomplishment.
Another day working the furlough. I make a game out of it; how much work can I NOT do everyday? If I could somehow cost the company MORE I would!
I'm loving these furloughs! I'm so busy that I can't even get to all the requests. I've seen 3 shipments already not go this week and it's only Tuesday. I should care but I don't. Maybe timmy can start helping us out? This week is really going to make customers love honeywell even more, and they're going to really give it to us in the customer satisfaction scores. Well, I guess we can't get any lower than DEAD LAST right Davy, timmy and darius? We're already ranked the lowest in the industry so who cares about butt fvcking our customers, right? As long as YOU get paid. Fvcking scumbags.
I agree with "you have a choice", that we have a responsibility to ourselves as well as the company to do our best and work to the best of our abilities. Reading through all these posts/comments I see a lot of anger and I certainly understand this, but your attitude is poor and it will show whenever you go for an interview someday. If you hate your job now is the time to go and find another job. It is much easier to find and negotiate for a new job when you are currently employed than if you are unemployed. 18 years ago I left a good job I had 20 years with and 5 weeks vacation for Allied Signal/Honeywell. I had gotten to the point where I was afraid I would spout off to my bosses how disgusted I was with them so I decided to start the job hunt. It was difficult leaving the 5 weeks vacation but I have enjoyed and grown these past 18 years while employed with HON. I was able to get 38 years of good employment in just two companies. Work hard and be a real asset to your company. Take on new tasks and look for other opportunities to "serve". Be kind and "YES" that means being humble at times. I'm retired now but I left both companies highly respected and loved. One last thing - if you have a family to support you really need to evaluate yourself and your attitude as it isn't all about you but your wife/husband and kids also.
Town halls are not the place to voice one's opinion, unless you want to be fired on the spot. Management does these BS dog and pony shows because someone in HR said they had to do them. They're nothing but pi$$ on the camp fire as we're repeatedly told how bleak and bad everything is and that we need to keep working a sh!t-ton of free hours so that Dave, Timmy, and the rest of the greedy fools running the place can keep collecting massive bonuses while d!cking over the people who do the real work. For every one of us that actually do work, there is a seven layer Taco Bell burrito of a$$holes sitting there poking us an asking "Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? How about now? How about now? How about now? How about now?" Until this m0therfucker crashes and burns (and it will in the next 24 months), I'll keep collecting a paycheck and giving 40 hours work for 40 hours pay... and I won't give a single f---!ng extra hour without pay. Dave, Timmy, and the rest of the fools don't work for free. Why should I?
Speak up at the townhall? You must be delusional if you think those aren't scripted and controlled. Those townhall meetings are the same as presidential press conferences; no tough questions are allowed. Plus, even if they allowed any question to come through, what difference would it make? You think Davy, Darius or timmy are going to stand up there and tell the truth? That the layoffs and cost cutting are going to continue forever? No. They're going to feed you some bullshite about global uncertainty, slowdowns, etc and how they will take each quarter one at a time. These guys are liars! There is no point in asking them questions and expecting honest answers. Dave tells wall street that layoffs are because honeyhell is so efficient then turns around tells us that it's due to economic slowdowns. You see? Dave is just a lying scumbag.
What are you going to say? U are an Ahole during the town hall? That townhall is just a rubber stamp. Useless.
Where are your voices during townhall meetings? Why are you all so brave to voice your anger on an "anonymous" post, but too afraid to stand up and say it straight to your leadership, or post the questions during Dave and Tim's townhalls? I would love to see someone say ANYTHING about their disdain with the company and give others a reason to chime in with a "here here!"
Everyone please keep writing exactly how you feel. This is great stuff. I hope Aero leadership can see they have gone to far. The only thing these guys understand is not hitting their numbers.. These guys act like we are building ball point pens. We just don't have enough people now to insure a quality product or perform all the crazy business processes they've put in place.
Bonuses? Yea the shsrehokders will get theirs too. Whats left for the employees? Layoffs and pay cuts. Listen to me, motherfvcker. We all have families to support just like you. You have run this company into the ground and now youre going to have to face the music. The employees are in a revolt. Don't be shocked when you start seeing contractual misses, milestone misses and late deliveries. Those are the results of your poor choices. Hopefully we can finish sinking this ship and AERO can be sold to a company that has real leaders and not a bunch of jerkoffs like you.
Timmy!! Finally you speak up on here! Listen Timmy, you and the rest of the poor excuse for leaders have caused this. Not a week goes by that i dont see some org announcement for some VP, senior director or president. Meanwhile the people who actually do the work are getting sh--t on. No raises, furloughs, working people harder and harder is not the way to retain talent. Then you come in and say we need to keep producing at our top level? What is the incentive to do so? So that you and the rest of the scumbag get your m

You treat others as if you want to be treated.
The main reason of the rifs is because "we are more efficient", according to our "leader".
Are you advocating that when someone is being bullied that they should just turn the 'other cheeks' and spread 'em. That's not exactly 'standing, tall', but only encouraging the bully to become more aggressive. The company is becoming more aggressive. First they claimed that they used furlough and salary freeze to avoid layoffs, and now they are doing it again, and laying off as well, and may even be considering salary cuts.
Many are looking to make that exiting choice, but while we are still here, Honeywell will get what they pay for. We had furloughs back in 09 because of the overall economy and reduction in 401k. Even after things got better we did not receive any compensation to recover the lost 10% and 401k came back a little but not 100%. Now with the current furloughs wiping out the last pathetic "merit" increases, we are working with zero pay increases for several years now. So if want to take the high road and be a meak little minion for these pathetic leaders then go ahead. The rest of us perefer to keep our self respect.
What a load of BS! I don't have to accept any crap. I'm not compromising who I am when I stand up for myself. At some point in your life, you have to stand up and say "NO!" to being taken advantage of and treated like a disposable commodity. I'm done working for free because upper management is too f---ing stupid to do their job right! It's high time that the people who make the incompetent choices ( improper funding, improper resources, improper priorities, et al) pay the price for their poor decisions. I'm done with being yoked with their greed, arrogance, and stupidity. When I find something else, then I'll leave. Dave, Timmy, and the rest of the piss poor excuses for "leaders" are just going to have to s--- it up and accept the responsibility for screwing the pooch royale!
S---a! Let 'em crap all over ya' and do nothing? Grow some, let them know you are not happy about the way they are running your life. We should expect better. It is a two way street. You have to have a balance - so it cannot be all their way. You quit you get nothing and they win. You get fired, or riffed, you get severance. Buck up b
You are full of s---. You must be on the leadership team, but there are not many leaders on this team. It is a 2 way road. Hon should be treated the same way they treat the employees.
