"What the hell does "this is what other companies are doing""
This is, the race to the bottom, MoFo.
He appears to be very egotistical. This will not bode well for the few employees left here at honeyhell.
Well said. I never thought about it that way. What the hell does "this is what other companies are doing" have to do with anything? Is he not working at THIS company? How about he focuses on making us happy instead of looking at what people outside Honeywell are doing. We are the ones who have to live with the changes, so ask us what the f--- we want.
I'm really getting fed up with Honeywell. Upper management so out of touch with the rest of the company. Anytime any of the new changes are question, we get a canned response like, "this is what other companies in the sector are doing." That's a really weird answer because you're basing changes off what people at other companies who don't work at Honeywell want. Shouldn't changes be based off what the people who are affected by the changes at OUR Company want? What works for Google doesn't necessarily work for Honeywell. I can't remember ever getting a survey asking if we wanted open for any of the other ridiculous changes that are getting proposes. Who the hell cares what the CEO think is best for the company. He is sitting in his ivory tower, In his cavernous office surrounded by his 50-year-old bottles of scotch. So how in the hell would he know what is best for us?He doesn't have to live by the rules so he should be asking us instead of just assuming what we want. After all happy employees are productive employee. Since we are the ones That toil away so he can live in a mansion, you would think that all decisions would be geared towards making the employees happy and productive.
OK, how about a conspiracy theory just for fun?! Let's remember some old days.
What if, 17 or so years ago when Honeywell was acquired by Allied Signal the whole behind-curtain plan was to sell it all to GE, later. After all, plenty of ex-GE upper managers made their way into Honeywell like many companies, spreading their "gospel" of Neo-liberal Disaster Capitalism, setting up the "pods" in the strategic places. The "deal" was made with then-CEO Michael Bonsignore, then Larry Bossidy (ex-Jack Welch/GE coat-puller) came back after the Bonsignore "mess-up".

Quote: "Honeywell has a new CEO; when the deal went down, so did Bonsignore. His successor: Larry Bossidy, a longtime GE colleague (and golfing partner) of Welch's whose job, he says, is to fix Honeywell or sell it."
We know Bossidy was the ex-CEO of Allied who acquired Honeywell & took on the name, and Bonsignore became CEO when Bossidy retired, thinking the deal was going down, later on. The European Union regulators blocked the deal.
Eventually, Bossidy brought in DC (ex-Jack Welch coat-puller) in, to be CEO.
The theory of the day is, what if after the GE acquisition of Honeywell didn't go through, the plan was then revenge, for the GE angels of death to destroy Honeywell from being any threat to GE, and break it down so badly, that GE could still pick up cheap choice crumbs after a complete slow bleeding death? It's one explanation for the complete disaster that Honeywell is.
It appears Honeywell is run a lot like Sears these days, and is doomed to a similar fate.
They don't care about running a business. That is exactly what they don't want to do - deal with people, parts, schedules, customers, problems. They care about turning the company into cash and sticking it in their pockets. Sell product lines, designs, close down buildings, get rid of people. The company will continue to get smaller. Stock buybacks, options, compensation packages. The IBM model, or is it the Sears model. Ultimate goal is a handful of people and a pile of cash.
He sounds like a politician. Should run for office.
Hahahahahahahaha hahaha HON will NEVER, let me repeat, NEVER achieve that goal. Are you kidding me??? The envy of other businesses?? Oh stop it. We are dead last in every customer satisfaction survey. Why? Because Dairyass and the rest of the idiots don't understand how this business works and in reality only care about making money. Well, you're about out of runway as customers are flocking to our competitors and with good reason. I work for HON and I refuse to buy any of our overpriced garbage products.
The envy of other businesses. LMAO. Just stop.
The email also stated his goal was to make HON "the envy" of all other businesses. I thought the goal was to make money? Clearly his goals are ego based. Lovely. Another egomaniac.
That is an observation...not an insult.....like Jack Welsh became Nutron Jack....Darius will be the Devil of Honeywell.
Where is the personal insult?
This thread is not gonna last, personal insults not allowed here.
I was laughing when I was reading it. These morons are so inept that I'm certain there will be no recovery. Like a Chinese finger trap, the more cuts they make, the worse the productivity and numbers are, which causes them to make more cuts, and the process repeats.
These clowns don't know the 1st thing about running a business, but they have fancy MBA's so it's ok I suppose. The employee piggy bank is empty, time to figure out a new strategy, idiots.
In case one of them stumbles across this site by accident, I'd suggest:
Treat employees better. Stop treating them like liabilities and more like assets
Reward hard work and results at the employee level, not just the senior butt buddy executive level
Invest in R&D and improve customer support across all products.
Stop it with the single source supplier nonsense - which obe of you morons thought THAT was a good idea???
Lastly, treat customers like they matter. Really. It's obvious to everyone that HON leaderschit doesn't give a rats behind about anyone but themselves, and least of all, customers.
