Many on this blog are going to dislike this post. But VK is absolutely crushing it at Davos this year. The stock is rallying and the strategic decisions he is leading are poising us for a step change in growth. Bravo this is fantastic to watch on CNBC.

As the other comments have stated, the company and many others are being ethnically hollowed out by Indian nepotism through visa workers or outsourcing. They are a very racial people with a high in group preference, flexible morals and are excellent at scheming and gaming pre established systems like legacy US companies all for their own benefit.
Their culture is heirarchical and slave minded, excellent at producing work without actually getting results. They will be polite to the point of obsequiousness yet take advantage of every courtesy and get nothing done while spouting off about their excellent results while getting jobs for their friends and caste members.
You cannot expect him to get anything done. And as a result, the product line will suffer as US workers are pushed out. However they need to keep a small amount of domestics around to maintain the face of an American company and still get actual work done to keep the paychecks coming.
Naturally they are perfect fit for the middle management slave drivers and IT workers that upper management wants because they either get a cut of the salary (think bribe) from the worker on visa in exchange for sponsorship or the worker is tied to the company because if they are fired they are literally deported. This person isnt asking for a raise or arguing with their leadership. They are basically slaves.
When they get up high enough they outsource the jobs to Hyderabad or Bangalore and claim cost savings.
Other notable examples:
MSFT, GOOGLE, IBM, Cognizant, Honeywell, Adobe, YouTube, Amazon.... list goes on
@186 Around 5 yrs ago I left HPS, moved to AERO. Yes HPS is full with indians and I saw there was no way of progressing.
At AERO they cannot come cause you need to be US Citizen. At HPS most at that time were H1B and L1A and they started taking over any position that was open through nepotism. It is sad.
@1f9 there is no doubt on it. Now that AERO is leaving, the rest of Honeywell will be 80% indians, with few legacy employees that will not be replaced.
@OP Honeywell is basically an Indian company. It's a horrible place to work at. The most chaotic and disorganized company that replaces Americans with Indians.
@1cb Red hat meaning Honeywell loyalist? Or the pro-felon hat?
@1ad One can always tell the RED hat wearing cultists....
@186 yes, VK's leadership has been uninspiring. However, your comment is simply racist and deep rooted in hatred like we see in the news. This is not what we stand for in the US and Honeywell. The fact that he is a bad CEO choice should not be about brown vs white. Remember a lot of the challenges today was created by DA and he was not brown.

Hey man what’s your beef with Santa Klaus?
He’s known for classics like..
“You will open nothing and be happy”
“Eat Ze Bugs “
“Fifteen minute cities”
Papa Klaus has got our backs!
@OP Vimal lives to displace Americans with Indians from India. That is his only mission at Honeywell. He needs to be thrown out by the board and an AMERICAN be put in as CEO. He-l with Vimal. And we need to HIB visa shut down these damned Indians in Honeywell USA and deport them immediately. Start with the a--holes in HPS
@am Klaus Schwab is satan incarnate; he is evil and minutes from he-l. STFU
Corp town hall tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear what’s next!!
This post from a Jim Cramer mad money session/pump and dump?
@v2 if you don’t mind I’ll paste this into my VOE. “ Simply you just have to add value, communicate it, and don’t complain to be successful at Honeywell.”
Military Industrial Complex at its peak
@rp
Obviously some employees are angry and upset, but it’s because they’re not resourceful. In every interaction I have had people are receptive when capabilities are built.
It’s the planning negotiations that so many people get su-ked in - which is the source of so much pain and misconstrued inefficiency.
Simply you just have to add value, communicate it, and don’t complain to be successful at Honeywell.
@ra Just take look at other companies on this site. Some of them have no new posts for months. Why fewer posts? Maybe those people are happy. Maybe they are so well connected and informed that they have little need to read or post on the layoff.com. Maybe the caliber of employee at the other companies is such that idle speculation is contrary to their sensibilities. Maybe they’re afraid someone at their company will read the post and retaliate. Maybe they’re too busy working both weekends and weekdays so there is no downtime to post. Maybe those at other companies are naïve.
With all these maybes it is obvious that Honeywell’s culture is different. I like to think of it as a strength that a company full of sarcastic jaded angry unformed insecure lethargic personnel might in a weird way make Honeywell a stronger company. Take that you strait laced people who have never gotten laid off, been lied to during reviews and believe in and follow the all rules and what your manager says! Realism is a strength if consumed in healthy doses.
@ra there are also villages in North Korea where they remember Honeywell because they still find unexploded cluster munition bomblets. Should we celebrate that brand recognition?’
Anger is a reap what you sow reaction to the behavior of a soulless conglomerate. A conglomerate that sent tens of thousands of jobs overseas because it was vastly cheaper to have 16yr old Islamic girls in Malaysia do the work. Honeywell created something like 40 thousand brand “anti-advocates” with layoffs not even counting the big number of retirees who suddenly lost their medical benefits that they had been promised .. after they had been receiving them for decades. Ask Garrett how Honeywell worked out.
Yeah.. so there are some folks with a grudge and it isn’t going away. Pass the post it notes. I’m going to walmart to leave some physical reviews on boxes. I date and leave them everywhere I go, maybe you will see one sometime. 100% truthful firsthand notes to the next shopper in the aisle.
It amazes me how negative so many are. Probably most of the angry ones are in aero and corporate.
Where are the optimistic Honeywell employees? Yes many of the processes are laughable but the company itself is powerfully structured for long term growth.
Remember, there are people in villages in Hong Kong that know of Honeywell. The name resonates and the quality follows.
@pn Thank you for that info/promotion "Red"
@pn rofl, you are very uninformed. In North America smart power meters already have between 68% and 82% penetration (2024) depending on what survey you review. market will saturate by 2030.
AMI smokes Honeywell in market share and there is no clear path for Honeywell to reclaim that share.
Explain what price or technical edge will upset the incumbent leaders in smart power? Vapor ware AI that any small company can best over a long weekend hackathon? Lololol
For what it’s worth I prefer to go to businesses that have Honeywell product. Honeywell engines, Honeywell fire systems, Honeywell scanners.
Just wait until smart meters are more common for residential use. And once we start unloading the power of AI our integration will be unstoppable.
Customers will call us to learn about the next best thing!
@jv Technology company as Apple, kidding right! This company can only bring mess to an industrial operation with the some exclusion for HPS petrochem. If it cannot fix its own mfg and supply chain or run its plants efficiently; what can it offer to external industrial customers?
@jv with all due respect, what are you smoking and which Honeywell are you talking about? Having spent years with a vantage view from corporate, it is hard to believe what you are saying. I wish it were true and I was proven wrong. I have waited too long to be proven wrong.
@jv We do work at the same company right? Guessing you must be in a non product technical role, Honeywell is being sliced and diced. In the next 3 years you will only have Honeywell Aerospace and a much reduced Honeywell buildings business. Are you not aware of what is going on around you? For the past 7 years have you not seen and witnessed the strategy? It's hardle been subtle!
@jv honeywell is the poster child on t-rumps new blacklist of overpriced defense contractors that cannot deliver because they prefer to service executives and institional shareholders rather than build capable factories. i bet that is exactly the message VK got at davos. ship on time or dont bother submitting quotes. dont we make parts for that missile trump called out by name ...
@ht There is no fairytale. Honeywell is a technology company and is positioned to be on the cutting edge of industrial implementations. Yes, many of the technologies are old but that is in line with competing technologies. All it takes is a handful of breakthrough initiatives to become a top company in the NASDAQ.
Just look at Apple. Without the iphone they would not be what they are today. Honeywell just needs one breakthrough and all of the criticism will simply be historical discourse.
@ds it is Physical AI my friend that’s is what Honeymess is aiming for, not different than previous Forge fairytale. Most likely you’re one of the AI leaders who didn’t know what VK, SJ or AM sold at Davos and I understand you want to stick AI to Honeymess word for job security and prove you add so much value.
Price back at 220
@de you can’t spell AI without Honeywell
Like Honeymess! It is perfect reflection of this organization. VK understands his shieet really well, and he changed his message from AI to Fixed AI because there is no AI story in Honeymess. Fixed AI equals to Forge and he did not want to promote a dysfunctional solution as it’s competition defeats that at every angle! He put lipstick on a pig that is already dead.
Potential Quanti IPO and JPMorg’s investment in it, and Honeymess’s stock purchases for upcoming yearly executive bonuses created a false positive that should go back in two to three weeks.
Davos is where poor people (politicians and ceos) go to beg for money from rich people. The bartender makes more in tips than VK does as ceo of honeysmell.
This post must be some id--t HR person or a big brown noser. Honeywell’s quality is so bad , it’s not the company it pretends to be.
It’s living off the old name recognition.
Don’t know the fuss over Davos.
Klaus Schwab is a scholar and a gentlemen.
The stock has been terrible over the last 5 years and the S&P 500 is blowing Honeywell out of the water. Why didn’t his “great strategic decisions” drive a step change in growth when he started in 2023 or 2024 or 2025…?
The only thing being discussed by the business leaders at DAVOS is how much they are taking advantage of their clueless employees.
Well, no.
But actually, an example of who's genuinely "crushing it at Davos this year" is James O'Keefe:
