Constant layoffs news and closing announcements are getting rather exhausting. There's no break, no time to recuperate. Every week it's something new. With all of that, I'm surprised morale is not even worse than it is. It's really hard to keep it... — read more
Another site to close
Thanks for the good memories… our friends from GS&I did it again… another site to close… stay tuned… to be announce just after Q2.
How marketable are your skills?
I’ve been looking for a new job for too long, and it’s getting less and less bearable here, so I’m pretty frustrated. I regret that I allowed myself to stay at HW for so long, because I think that is one of the big reasons why I don't have... — read more
Are there any good managers left?
As far as I can see the good ones are long gone, and literally everyone that I keep in touch with from other organizations has low opinions about the managers. Is there anyone that is satisfied with their manager?
This has happened before and will happen again.

Morale still at an all time low
I have been a faithful and dedicated employee where I had made sacrifices even to the extent of parting with my family for long periods of time for the sake of my job and the company. In the years that I have given to this company, never have I felt... — read more
Work/life balance
Am I just unlucky, or is there zero work/life balance at HON?

Has anyone heard any more about cobra premium payments? I see i paid my premium again this month.
Deleted msg about new vaccination proof policy
What is there to hide?
Is Bendix King leaving Albuquerque?
Pretty simple, just curious. I heard a rumor several months ago they were closing down the ABQ site in June. Almost everyone I know no longer works there either due to last years RIFs or moving on due to the workload falling on the remaining few... — read more
There are people who think they're safe at Honeywell
People who genuinely believe they're too valuable to the company to be laid off. These people are not management. I could understand their reasoning if that was the case. No, they are regular employees. Sometimes I wish I had their confidence but... — read more
What's Going On At Space Building 59th Ave, Glendale, AZ?
I worked at and retired from the Engines Division plant near Sky Harbor in Phoenix several years ago. I live near this other Honeywell facility. I drove by it today and the parking lot was empty. What's going on? Did they close it down?
Is there any sense in increased PIP target from business standpoint?
I would like to know according to which logic is increasing the PIP target from 5% to 10% good from a business standpoint? I’m pretty sure I get PIP’d just for some very personal reason and my manager’s animosity, and I found a new job in less than... — read more
Early Return for the Slaves - no fix for this
Honeywell is broken beyond repair. I just saw the propaganda email form corporate about how people are chomping at the bit to get back into the office before July 6. There's a new program that will allow early return for those who can't live... — read more
Asking for advice from strangers
I understand people who come here for advice on whether they should hang on or quit, since sometimes an outside opinion of somebody in the know can help, but don't make your decision based on that. This is something you should be deciding with your... — read more
Endless possibilities
WFH has been an eye opener for me. I discovered that I do my best work and honestly I can’t imagine ever returning. I can understand why HON wants employees to return back to the office but for me I just don’t believe it’s possible. I’ve been... — read more
You know what gets me the most?
Even McDonalds and Burger King will make sure to keep their best workers and promote them to management. But not HON. No, here the best will get cut at worst or kept in the same position at the same pay forever at best. Makes you think when you... — read more
HR Action Plan Sept 30th
How large is the HR action plan RIF going to be?
I've started looking
I never considered myself to be a quitter but Honeyhell has changed me. Things haven't been the same for years, but I kept pushing through despite the abuse I suffered from my then-new manager thinking that things can't stay the same forever. I was... — read more
Is the number of PIPs increasing?
I'm hearing from more and more people they've been put on a PIP. While I'm sure some of them are justified, some of them have me stumped. These are some of the people I know work the hardest and I know they do a good job. Why they would be put on a... — read more

Archaic thinking
Honeywell has finally hit rock bottom. Other major corporations are providing top flight facilities and benefits to keep employees happy who must work in person. They are also forward thinking with progressive policies like work from anywhere, which... — read more
Absolute trash honeywell policy
Wait kind of trashbandicoot policy is it to make me go back in person when I can do everything remote?! If this policy goes through I’m out. They have roaches in the bathroom! These unsalted pretzels bum nuts making these policies think. I got other... — read more
What are your expectations from this company?
I have lowered my expectations to a minimum. I loved my job very much and I didn't pay much attention to all the problems in this company because I focused only on work. I thought I would never say this, but now I can’t wait for the severance pay... — read more
How much has HON changed you?
Hearing about their bad decisions, plans for the future that mostly clash with common sense, experiencing injustice towards employees... I was just becoming a bitter man, and I knew very well that I couldn’t change anything. I no longer like myself... — read more
Honeywell CEO warns on inflation
First he and his useless incompetent managements give workers layoffs right when they needed the job the most, relative to average work's salary/benefit cut executives and management takes miniscule cuts during pandemics (executives and management... — read more
Leaving for remote work
I've now been approached by two companies that offer remote work. Is anyone else leaving or looking to leave for a more flexible company? Hoping Honeywell will change their policy but ready to leave if not.
Thought's on CEOs Comment About Honeywell Worked Shortage
"We have far more openings than I'd like, frankly," Adamczyk said, even with the company raising wages. He cites several factors behind the worker shortage, including health concerns, childcare issues and enhanced unemployment benefits.
Paid for with tax payer dollars...should be 100% made in America...labor and supply chain.
This is not a political post. But...I hope Biden follows thru and makes Honeywell bring back ALL government contracts products and supply chains to the USA. For 30 years our government has provided exemptions to the law just to make more profit for... — read more
How do you reduce HON-related stress?
Working at HON has never been more stressful for a myriad of reasons some more personal (abusive manager) than others (layoffs.) Since I doubt anything will change for the better any time soon, I was wondering how do the rest of you deal with that... — read more
I hope for the best, I expect the worst
I just wonder how many people are laid off here just before the retirement? I personally know a few people who have had this happen to them. I don't have much time left until retirement, and that's what I'm most afraid of. I hope to be able to... — read more
Nearly five decades with Honeywell
Can you even imagine something like that anymore? Today, people are either laid off before they come anywhere close to that or leave on their own to further their career (since we all know that ain't happening... — read more
Has mask requirement been dropped at HON
Saw our fearless leaders from 3 different US locations in conf. rooms happily chatting without masks. Just last week we got a mail saying mask requirement is in place across US, so that's changed or is being ignored.
How much of the push to "return to the office" is really an effort to drive older employees to retire?
I've been scratching my head, trying to understand why Honeywell seems intent on pushing everyone to go back to the office. I get that it has to happen at some point, but they really seem to have made it a singular focus, including multiple e-mails... — read more
No new layoff rumors?
Okay, there doesn’t seem to be any new rumors about layoffs here either. I haven't noticed any signs that indicate a storm is coming. I'm relaxed, but I'm still looking for other options because Q2 will be here soon...
Can we have an 'opposite day' at HON?
Actually, let's make it an 'opposite month.' For a whole month, Darius and his ilk have to do the opposite of what they were planning. They have an idea, then they do the exact opposite. For example, instead of outsourcing, keep good people who... — read more
