When is this stuff ever going to stop? Working days, nights, weekends is taking a huge toll on health and family. When will this stop! How much more layoffs are out there? We lost so many people this week. A lot of desks are empty and the work load... — read more
Mexican tariffs
The prez ordered a 5% tariff on products from Mexico, and plans to ratchet it up to 25% by October as a response to the “ongoing illegal immigration problem”. A fair number of HW products are made there and are sold in the US. Since the... — read more
EEI
Somebody, via Yammer, specifically asked JE to explain the reasoning behind the EEI metric. Search "EEI" on Yammer, and you'll find it. So far, JE hasn't responded, even though the person asked very respectfully for his response. Funny, he's quick to... — read more
Outsource executive and top management to a different country.
Why don’t the stock holders vote to start outsourcing executive and top management to other countries? Honeywell will save millions and only need to move one office to do so. That’s the low hanging forbidden fruit!
Mass Exodus
After many years at Honeywell, I just bailed recently as well. There is a fairly serious level of mass exodus from the company right now due to the horrible corporate culture and high levels of upper management incompetence. I just couldn't stand it... — read more

Indeed there are better Opportunities Outside of Honeywell
It has been well over a year since I left Honeywell. As an over 50 band 4 MIP compensated engineering employee I had thought my options were limited and my future dim. At minimum I thought I had to move to be able to maintain what Honeywell was... — read more
Are plants in the US in as much danger of closing as one of the offices are?
Consolidating the offices is a much easier process then allocating production, I know, but is there a similar plan in play for the production facilities? Do we have to be afraid of plant closures in the sense that there is some planned strategy of... — read more

Finally some changes I love - cut all MIP except to managers with 20 plus direct reports
What this will accomplish.... Level the playing field for the real workers -- band 3's and band 4's. No more bs with band 3's that should be band 4's getting hosed. On the management front, save a bunch of MIP money or even salaries by letting go of... — read more

New branding will not save Honeywell
They can use all the PowerPoint slides they want. The writing has been on the wall for at least the last five years. The year they took our medical insurance benefits to the high deductible said it all as well as taking away our dental care. They do... — read more
Why don’t they announce their plans about the company future?
Of course, I am talking about a real announcement that goes beyond general corporate bull about adopting new technologies, exploring new markets etc. Why don’t they just announced what parts of the company they don’t see i the future. Would be more... — read more

Darius Bragging On "He's Ready For China tariffs"
I am going to write my Congress representative about shipping Chinese components to Brazil or Mexico then avoiding the tariff. Wait disregard, Honeywell Political Action Committee makes a donation and this will be ignored, business as usual.
Count the number of employees under a manager
Count the number of employees under a manager. if it is less than [arbitrary number here] then a reorg is not only possible it is extremely likely. The exact number probably changes daily. I would peg it greater than or equal to 11 today. If you are... — read more

In what segments of the company are reorgs most likely to occur?
Shifts, changes, reorgs, layoffs… all of those seem to be an every day threat at HON? What parts of the company could be next in line for a reorganization? Maybe the reorgs could hit various parts of the company at once. Opinions???
Hiring
LinkedIn is advertising Phx. Aero is hiring, Don't do it! Why in the world would anyone go to work for this miserable company? Unpaid OT, 12 hour days, no advancement, no employee value, unobtainable goals and dead lines. Run away as fast as you can.
Layoffs will always take place to serve as a warning
There will always be at least a slow bleed off via layoffs. As long as the plan is to get workers to compete against each other to adequately donate free overtime, there will need to be sacrificial lambs to serve as a warning. We can also fold in... — read more
Any word on new layoffs?
Haven’t heard anything in some time so I was wondering is anything “cooking” that I’m not aware of? Has anyone heard anything about more layoffs in the coming days and about where they might take place? If anyone has any concrete info, please post.
aero reorgs .. again.
managers huddled. directors traveling. mandatory training. All the signs of yet-another-reorg in progress. guessing our manager ranks will soon be thinned out. They can't hire people to do real work so likely they will just force managers back to... — read more
