Horrible Health Benefits
Worthless insurance benefits. I need medicine a monthly basis and Honeywell has me pay 394 a month out of pocket with their plan. I have never ever had this kind of horrible insurance. Obamacare was much, much better and the same price.

Been Working From Home
Has anyone else been 'disrespectful' of the WFH policy? It's not that I don't appreciate my job, it's that I'm smart enough to realize I do a better job from home. So if they fire me for doing my job well (from home), then I feel it's their loss, not... — read more
