We were handed down "our" goals just recently, and one of them was EEI > 1.08. I know they've been harassing us about low EEI, but this is a new low. To make us put in your goals that thou shalt work > 40 hours even if you get your work done on time sounds illegal. Or at least highly unethical. ALT can kiss off!

Thank you Dave Cote
2foz: Please don’t burn your meat! You want it medium with a nice pink on the inside....oh wait...or is that just for HON VP’s traveling with their HR rep...????
Wok longer burns my meat
Wok longer, not smarter.
Sounds like mandatory OT for salaried employees. Wonder if that is legal?
Wonder how much cost plus work with the government they have left.
Even funnier, they just look at time spent at work, not work actually done. It's a strange metric.
STOP the whining, you have unlimited vacation. Just make sure you take what you would get under the old policy, plus enough to cover the unpaid time you are there. I would time you worked, but in the case of the Greer Site the engineers b_lls_it about 20 hours a week anyway.
ALT can go F themselves!!
This is the same sort of pressure from management that cause so many issues at Wells Fargo. If I can get my work done in 40 and don't have more to do, it looks bad on the engineer. Now it seems like I should stretch out my work to get more overtime but that is illegal and I would be overchrging the customer.
I said once before , when I hired in at Sperry Flight Systems We engineers got paid OT. Then Honeywell comes in and takes it away piece-by-piece, until now they make it requirement that You work like a Coolie after you put in your 40. You newbies and HR trolls don't give me this about "oh, its expected . You are salaried , You "exempt". "
It's not a goal at my site (yet), but I'm wondering if anyone can explain what goes into that calculation. I know they are looking at just direct hours vs 40 hours, but how do holidays and vacation factor in? Do you have to make up holidays and vacation time, or are those hours/days excluded from the calculation?
This one has been in the goals before and removed upon advice from Legal, as it could have set them up for a case of engineers claiming they are non-exempt. Leadership is sooooo clever disguising it by calling it EEI, we’ll see if it sticks this time.
