Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

No knowledge is good knowledge for Honeywell management

A couple years ago, the managers were told to look for new jobs. These were people who new parts and process - no necessary skill anymore. Brought in new - inexperienced managers. The new managers did not talk to employees, just numbers. Get a task, get an order and execute, no discussion. Had one manager who rarely left his office and spent half the day with door closed. Asking a question, like can you clarify or I want to make sure I understand was not a good move. You just put the boss on the spot. Most frustrating, during the tier meeting or really any meeting about an issue, I or someone else might know the answer and would start to explain "so here's what's happening.." or "what we need to do is..." and the hand would go up "Alright lets stay on task, lets go guys, keep it moving." You're answering the question the boss asked get about 10 words out and are stopped. Obvious the boss did not what to know the issue, did not what to be involved, did not want any responsibility or have anything to do. No knowledge is good knowledge. Knowing answers got you no where, It was very random as I knew other people who still had good bosses and really liked their jobs. That was my last few years at Hon. Got laid off, got package, got new job, making more $$, things are ok. Still not sure why so many who volunteered for lay off were denied.

Why all the negative talk? This company was at $85 a few years ago, now at over 140. Aerospace in Minnesota is booming! We stay positive and try to improve continuously, be positive and work to be the best.
