Nobody at HON seems interested in making sure that the brain drain is mitigated and the most talented people stay with the company. On the contrary, the management is happy to see them go and it keeps throwing money their way during layoffs to make... — read more 

Think big, then make it happen. Rate your boss.

That's a classic trap in any work situation. Being a "yes" man brings you more work, but not necessarily more personal satisfaction, or money. And, at the same time people expect you to take on more and more. Don't be fooled, HON likes "yes man"... — read more

Thoughts on why Honeywell has so many open and unfilled positions?

I do work for several people. I’ve never liked to talk about myself in superlatives, but objectively, I work a lot more and I’m much more productive than most of those who have a much better status than me in this company. It doesn't bother me, but... — read more 

Is that one of the best parts of giving a notice? After years of having to be available here 24/7, as of yesterday I finally don't care about being available and at your service all day. I agree that it’s okay to work hard and be engaged, however... — read more 

We work so hard each day, we give it our all, and for what? For a company that uses us up without recognition, steps all over us instead of rewarding our work, and then discards so many of its best like yesterday's trash. HON lost all of its core... — read more 

How do you explain this? HON stock will be at $250 before EOD, if you hold stock you should be in a very good position. We are adding headcount, sales are going up, etc. And yet, people are not happy - why is this happening? One would asssume that... — read more

Hearing rumors of a shutdown week. Is there a furlough for manufacturing this summer?

We have all seen the emails about surveys naming Honeywell as one of the world's most admired and respected companies. Where does Honeywell stand in a survey of the most corrupt and loathed companies?

I retired about a year ago. In my 30+ years I always got good reviews,,,,until the final one. Something changed. My boss turned into a monster. He would use harsh, demeaning statements at our monthly one on one. He would make up allegations... — read more 

Free of honeywell and working something new. Best wishes.
