Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

I've been retired for a few years now. Life goes on and you can let go of the emotions this shady organization provoked. I guess not entirely ... I am still on here observing and commenting. HON really is dysfunctional and abusive. It wasn't always that way.

Get used to it, more rebadging to come

Should you get bored in your retirement, I can offer you a fraction of what you previously made, doing the same work as before.

Sincerely,

Celestica

Why wait to start the rest of your life? Be careful about wrapping too much of your identity around being an Engineer (at Honeywell).

A friend of mine still works there even though he's dying of a terminal illness. Apparently working at Honeywell is his best option for the few years he has left.

There's a 2nd life out there. Everything is a challenge and engineering experience does not have to go to waste. There's a lot of things to be "designed and engineered" in everyday life.

I share your point of view and probably won't be too far behind you. Thankfully I'm old enough that I don't need to work any more but have been, until relatively recently, because I take pride in what I do and used to be able to do it without much drama. That was before Madsen decided that production support wasn't necessary -- let's see how long we can drive the car without checking the oil, let alone keeping it full.

The jury's still out.

Well over a dozen of my most trusted and capable colleagues have left Engines over the past year or so, all voluntarily. Like me, they all had more than 20 years of service. I joined first in 1968 and have been here continuously since 1980. I've done good work while here, but over the past 15 months, not so much.

Congratulations on your escape. I always wondered how the "real engineers" coped with all the bureaucracy and charge number BS. Thanks for your efforts....now go enjoy all there is to life.

Congrats on leaving a sad situation. What division were you with? Aero Phx?
