No bright future

No company that puts profit over its people has a bright future. No company that doesn't reward its employees for hard work and going above and beyond has a bright future. No company that rewards yes-men and a-s-kissers has a bright future. Which... — read more

PIPs are a great indicator of business health. They crank up attention when results are bad even when tell wall street everything is great. So how is it looking for midyear? More pips? Less? Does the massive staffing shortage impact the pressure... — read more 

Our “selfless” leaders

So what do all of our leaders have in common? 1: Every single one is selfish to a fault! 2: They all worry about their self-image more than anything. 3: None are self-sacrificing. 4: Give self-justification for their decisions. You get the... — read more 

Covid allowed to spread, Honeywell UK

With cases rising rapidly at our site, staff have been asked to delete their ‘Track and Trace’ app in order to prevent staff having to isolate when coming in to contact with those testing positive. Your health and your families health is the last... — read more 

Anything left to give?

I gave over a decade of my life to HON. I thought it was the best in the industry and I was proud to be a part of it. Now, it seems as if everything has gone to he-l in a handbasket and I have asked myself if I’ve got anything left to give. There is... — read more 

What questions are asked?

Before I begin submitting applications I was wondering what types of questions HR is allowed to answer? From my understanding they are only allowed to give out date started/date ended, salary and would I be eligible for rehire. A coworker said that’s... — read more 

The severance at Honeywell is a disgrace

I haven't done a comparative analysis of severance pay here and competitors, but severance pay at HON is really shameful. Do you know how much worse it is than individual competitors? I only know that it is humiliating for all the people who have... — read more 

We are hiring again!!!!

So I have seen for the last couple of weeks new faces at the site and realised that we are in a recruitment drive. Guys that were retrenched last year and given a severence package are being re-employed back. Although, I am happy to see those guys... — read more

I think I will last longer than them

There's no way I'm just leaving here without severance pay. It's ridiculous how much they try to get me out of here without severance pay using various subtle tricks. They are very creative when it comes to that. I believe they do the same things to... — read more 

Need Learning Hub training on how to lie to vendors

Getting sick of having to lie to vendors about Honeywell not paying its bills. It’s not a part of my job description or skilllset. Guess I need to skill up than. Any chance there’s a course for that on the Learning Hub? Hard ball negotiation... — read more 

This is depressing

I haven't been at Honeywell for too long, next month will mark my second year. What makes me really sad is to see how scared my older colleagues are of layoffs. Everybody is willing to do whatever is asked of them even when it's unreasonable to make... — read more 

Do they care?

Is there a proper exit interview at HON for people who quit? Not just a checklist to make sure you gave back your laptop and whatever else, but a proper interview where they ask about the reasons for leaving? A lot of companies find that exit... — read more 

Having trouble finding a job after a layoff

I have applied to many jobs and have gotten interviews but after all this time I still haven’t found anything. When I don’t hear from the interviewers or receive a politely worded email stating I am no longer being considered for a position it takes... — read more 

Panic RDE cutoffs

More empty charge numbers. Is there any way to interpret this other than MoneyIn

Is there anything you are NOT worried about?

My day consists of worrying about being laid off, more benefits being cut, being passed over for a promotion and a raise again, not upsetting my vindictive manager, being able to finish my work in time despite knowing it's physically impossible... My... — read more 

Don't let yourself be burned and turned

Companies like Honeywell practice "burn and turn" meaning they hire people for about 3 years or so, extract as much unpaid free overtime as possible through constant abuse, threats of layoffs and firing. Then once the employee is exhausted they force... — read more 

Why do leadership fail to communicate effectively?

There has been little to no communication from leadership on what our future holds. The reason - lack of true leadership. Another possible reason is what most people suspect - the future here can only get worse. Another reason is that they... — read more 

There are still good managers at Honeywell

I'm just wondering how many. I see a lot of people complaining about their managers - and I'm not doubting it's very much deserved - and I keep thanking my lucky stars that I'm one of the seemingly few who still have good ones. He is probably what... — read more 

Unconscionable

I am 62. I was forced out after 34 years. For 32 years I was graded yearly as a good employee. In the final two years I was graded as the worst. The funny thing is I saw what was coming as my hair grayed, so I stepped up my game. My last two... — read more 

Vaccine or mask?

Curious what others' thoughts are on the recent return-to-plant communications: "voluntarily show us your vaccination proof which will unlock privileges such as no mask requirement"? There could be many reasons someone doesn't get a vaccine. I'm... — read more 

We used to drive HON's success

How any business treats its employees will determine its success. HON used to know this once, when it treated us as assets. Now, the company only sees numbers instead of employees and it doesn't care what and how much they contribute - if the number... — read more 

COBRA Subsidy

Did any of you who were invol RIF'd get your COBRA subsidy check to cover April & May yet ? I was told by benefits it 'll take 1 to 2 months to get it .

Double-edged sword

I’ve got 17+ years with HON. It is considerably harder to walk away mid-career with so many years vested. It’s definitely a damn if you do/damn if you don’t case. Do you hope and pray you can survive any future layoffs? Or do you try to move on... — read more 

How were the benefits cut back?

I haven’t been here long so I don’t know, but someone mentioned that since 1989 when he joined Honeywell the benefits have slowly started to cut back. I wish there was some overview of how it all went downhill with benefits over the years. I'm just... — read more 

The company with the worst work/ life balance?

Has HON ever been a company that fosters an environment where work/ life balance is valued? I wouldn't say so. I am almost certain that this is the least important thing for them, and it seems to me more and more that they would prefer that we only... — read more 

What's really funny?

All these VP's and Directors who think there is no way this would never happen to me... I'm in the know. One of my friends will tell me. Well, up pops a meeting with your boss and HR. Guess what? BAM! You have been Honeywell'd!

posting frequency as a metrics for happiness

Average time between posts/replies on Raytheon layoff site... 2 days. Average time between posts/replies on Honeywell layoff site... 20 minutes. Raytheon is not exactly a leader in employee happiness either. This site should have a dashboard. — read more 

Taking advantage of all the benefits?

It's only now that I see how little benefits I've actually used. HON has consumed my life. I worked hard, but HON always wanted more. I can't take it anymore. Before I leave, I would like to make good use of all possible benefits, as much as... — read more 

When did it hit you?

How long did it take for you to realize this is not the same place it was when you join? Or alternately, it was not the same place you expected it to be when you joined if you've only been here for a few years? I'm asking because I see so many people... — read more

A year later, no regrets

The moment I left this place I felt happier. A huge weight was lifted off my chest, but there was still some anxiety since I was starting a new job and I wasn't sure if it would pan out the way I had hoped. A year later, I'm a new woman. You don't... — read more
