Corporate involvement in everything is becoming a new norm, playing politics and undermining long term employees not knowing how businesses work but dictate. Do it or go is their message. VP transformation on IA level has behaved very poorly with all... — read more
Honeywell Performance and Development
I have a colleague (Aerospace) who has started campaigning to any manager who will listen or in any Q&A: as we separate from Honeywell proper we should get rid of the Jack Welch style "rank and yank" HPD system (which she says GE abandoned already)... — read more
HON Smart Energy has no clue
AM hired so many new leaders from consulting company with no know knowledge about the customers i.e., Utilities and Municipalities. Strange that he even got the job, and now making it worse.

Is Lucian real or AI generated?
I have never once seen this man in real life and I have been in many Teams calls with him. Has anyone seen him in real life? Does he hide in his office all day and take a super secret passageway to the parking garage and drive off to his lair?
Intelligrated
Anyone have an update on the current conditions with Intelligrated?
How’s that chart looking Elliot?
Did your HPD review include losing a billion dollars in Q1?
If you think tariffs are bad.. wait for AI
Knowledge workers are on the brink of being crushed. AI will be fully capable of most coding tasks (especially VHDL and other deterministic scenarios). Leaders will demand that we “hire”/“rent” AI workers rather than hire coders and other... — read more
Honeywell is a dead end
This place is a dead end. Half the people just ki-l time until something better turns up, while the rest are fresh out of school. It's like a waiting room for people who forgot ambition.
Layoffs Due to Tariffs
Any news about layoffs due to tariffs? I know Collins just had layoffs a few weeks ago. Btw Aero separating from Honeywell looks worse since Honeywell has exported everything in Aero.
Brain drain
In recent years the place has turned from an okay place to work to “it’s just another line on the resume.” Broke/ cheap managers cannot keep talent that developed under their leadership. Is that leadership?
Pension Rollover
I retired from Honeywell about 5 years ago. In addition to my 401k I had a legacy pension. It didn’t take long for me to decide to take a lump sum distribution, which I was able to roll into my 401k. I truly believe that if the company could find a... — read more
ADM Spinoff Retention
Anybody else receive a retention bonus to stay? The wording seemed a little weird, stating that it’s contingent on meeting company goals before the spin. Feels like if the sub segments don’t make their operating plan, we won’t get any payout. — read more
Advanced Materials Spinoff
Is it true what people are saying when it comes to Honeywell pensions. I retired last year and have been told once the spinoff is complete and they no longer use the Honeywell name or Hr Department they will not be paying out on Honeywell retirements... — read more
Solstice Advanced Materials
Isn’t it great that the Advanced Materials spin off is getting such a great management. The new CEO has a great track record. He came in as the CEO of WestRock and quickly sold it to Smutfit, earning himself a golden, er, platinum parachute. Hope he... — read more
Is Anything Good Going on in Aero in Olathe these days?
I have wondered if Olathe has recovered any from the total annihilation of engineering staff and professional production staff a few years ago? Last time I worked there it was somewhat functional but still creepy and going down the tubes. But that... — read more
Taco truck
When the economy was in a lull and Honeywell had cancelled raises for the corporate good. MANAGEMENT hired a taco truck for the peons. Before that time and since, Honeywell is like Brooklyn in the 1980’s, “the good get out.” What is the rationale?... — read more
Aero split- Elliot
Aero CEO is desperate to save face. Insinuating that the Elliot group had zero input on the decision process to split Aero from Honeywell proper. The CEO is also quick to say, “Honeywell Aerospace Technology has a quarter of the overall corporation... — read more
Retention Bonuses
Are they still doing this? I was hoping to get one at my review and was disappointed.
Aerospace Spin off
What's the outlook for Aerospace once it's on its own? Growth? Are they already hiring?
Wright v. Honeywell International, Inc.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/christian-ex-honeywell-worker-claims-163500999.html Anyone knows about this?
Maybe I'll get lucky
Maybe I'll be laid off in the next round. I have earned a decent severance and I'll be more than happy to walk away with it. But isn't it sad for the company when employees who have been here for a decade or longer would rather be laid off than stay... — read more
I feel for you all.
2nd generation "former" Honeywell employee. I can tell you all , getting laid off by Honeywell was the best thing that ever happened to me. I spent 17 years of my life working for that company. For what??? At the end of the day, I missed so much... — read more
Losing my job at HON was not the end of the world
I got the boot about six months ago and honestly, I’m stoked. It felt like escaping disaster. HON was a mess and I’m glad I’m out of there. If you get let go, see it as a chance. There’s a whole world of better opportunities out there. You’ll be... — read more
I'd support these kinds of layoffs 100%
Andy Jassy said that Amazon’s middle managers want to “put their fingerprint on everything” but haven't been always making the right recommendations. So he’s flattening the hierarchy and giving more power to individual contributors—while calling... — read more

2025 Merits
Transparency thread for this cycle. SBG Band Block rating % Increase
Sundyne. The pump company. This is a joke, right?
The acquisition of a stagnant pump company for $2.1 billion at 14.5X EBITDA from private equity firms that have been trading it like a hot potato for a decade is a textbook example of value destruction. This deal reeks of desperation and poor... — read more

Why is it we need to find out about breaking news on press releases rather than hearing it from SLT? Strategic partnership with Lockheed Martin and Plymouth MN foundry. Have we identified the Aerospace buyer?
Breaking News. Honeywell announced they are relocating the entire company to a state/city to make all employees feel miserable
So, crime infested Saint Louis Missouri has been chosen as Honeywell's new site of operations. All Honeywell employees will be expected to pay their own relocating expenses.
