How much talent do you think Emerson has lost in the last decade? Specifically people walking away versus being laid off. Are they better off now?

Wow. Sorry to hear how bad things have gotten.
Honeywell was once considered a good company. They got a lot of "MBA's" and former disciples of Jack Welsh running that place, and it's been a steady decline ever since.
Seemed like Emerson was different, but inevitably you get the Jack Welsh, Al Dunlop types that eventually take over and run the company into the ground while giving themselves be bonuses. (Both of them have passed and now reside in He-l BTW).
It's just the inevitable progression of a company. All good things must come to an end.

I left over 7 years ago. I'm much happier and my salary is much higher. Turns out, everything we had worked so hard on 10-20 years ago at RAS has been completely abandoned anyways.
I’m much better off having left Emerson. I only wish I had done it sooner. There’s much less stress and better opportunities elsewhere. I know it might not seem like it, but if they’re pushing talent away, they’re actually doing those people a favor. On the Emerson side it looks like Wall Street is rewarding the pivot to higher profit margin businesses, so it seems like a win-win.
The ones I have kept in touch with, yes, 100%. Every person, including myself, who left Emerson in the last decade is better off.
If you look at the talent that left from the start of the Farr era, then there has been a huge loss of talent across all the businesses
