So we rolled out these AI tools last week. You know who you are. They are a complete disaster. The tools provide minimal value and very tedious to use. They actually make our work much more difficult, all to improve “quality”. This is going to lead to a backlog of work. What is the play here? Create a disaster on purpose so some higher-up finally gets that AI ain’t all it’s cracked up to be?

UOP and Honeywell Lies
How long they can keep the lies so sweet? Each quarter blame the same issue. Really? obviously anyone can use AI to tell the problem is the management. That Ken West baby should retire...
| Quarter | Orders / backlog message | Revenue conversion issue |
|---|---|---|
| Q2 2025 | Honeywell said backlog grew 16% year over year, supported by strong double-digit order growth. honeywell | The broader company commentary still referenced timing of large project execution in some businesses, though this was less explicitly UOP-focused in the quarter release. honeywell |
| Q3 2025 | Honeywell said orders grew at a strong double-digit rate and overall backlog increased year over year. honeywell+1 | ESS said UOP sales declined 13% due to anticipated licensing delays and lower catalyst shipment volumes, even as UOP orders grew double digits. honeywell |
| Q4 2025 | Honeywell said orders grew 23% and backlog exceeded $37 billion; the PA&T presentation said second-half 2025 PA&T orders grew 17% and opening backlog rose 16%. investor.honeywell+1 | ESS segment sales declined 7% organically, with margin pressure from lower catalyst volumes, even as management pointed to long-cycle demand and a second-half 2026 ramp. investor.honeywell+1 |
| Q1 2026 | Honeywell said orders grew 7% and backlog reached about $38.3 billion. investor.honeywell+1 | PA&T sales fell 6% organically, aftermarket fell 10% due to delayed refining catalyst shipments and automation service upgrades, and projects were only flat because process automation was delayed. investor.honeywell+1 |
Genesee County Prosecutor's Staff Layoffs Loom
At least 21 employees in the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office face potential layoffs. This is due to a state grant program running out of funds. The High-Crime Community Support Grant previously funded their positions. Prosecutor David Leyton warns of severe case backlogs and jail overcrowding. County officials require $1.8 million to retain these employees through the fiscal year.

crisis vs. oppty
Instead of providing customers and partners with transparent information about the current situation, Lenovo is optimizing at the expense of its customers. They are actively intervening in the backlog to achieve the highest prices for rare components. I'm not sure how long this will work in the current situation, precisely because other manufacturers are acting differently here.
Class action lawsuit on product that doesn’t ship
Class action lawsuit coming soon to Michael Dells desk for review. Count up all your revenue that is Pending Production….we have 3 months to get ever shipped out to hit our attainment to make our commission.. if we don’t hit 60%, then we owe back to Dell…
Be on top of factories and team to build and ship your product out ASAP!!! That 60% is what needs to SHIP!
I’m curious how much backlog will actually ship that will count towards the 60%.
Who cares about the 100% when 60% is what were actually needing..
What’s going on with supply backorders?
Is it just Xerox being cheap…. We’re not in a COVID situation so what’s the excuse?
Immigration Department Job Cuts Impact Processing
https://www.wellandtribune.ca/news/canada/immigration-layoffs-and-processing-times/article_040f8364-e289-5fa6-b97a-5acd49194812.html
The federal Immigration Department is experiencing significant job cuts. These cuts have led to a rise in application backlogs and processing times. Over one year, backlogged applications exceeding service standards increased by 12.7 percent. The Canada Employment and Immigration Union reports increased workloads and employee burnout. The department attributes longer processing times to growing demand for Canada.
They’re back at it!
Adding to the Walmart orders again before Christmas when they said they wouldn’t be doing it anymore. All my orders jumped by 50-70 cases, locked in. Who’s doing it? There’s a mystery right there. Everyone prepare to be miserable sorting through pallets of 250-350 cases, working in crowded stores and leaving a cr-p ton of backstock
I am in newly formed team, no one have idea what are we doing.. Dell 101
after months of "big bla bla reorg" I was moved to "superstar team", its almost 2 months and actually I have no idea what they are trying to achieve.
I thought previous place was mad, but at least i could test something, raise a bug and wait forever for anyone to care... or do more stuff/testing.. something meaningful.
sometimes it was quite sensible.
Here?
100% headless chickens flow, they run from one side to other developing secretly something then dropping it and doing something else. Total madness repeating buzz words and hype phrases. Worst of all are the secrets within "team". backlog is full of bullsh-t, but PO jump in and secretly give some weird tasks to teammates.
