The Zoo
Working at Honeywell reminds me of a Zoo I visited a while ago. Took the family, paid my money, and discovered they had only one animal to view. There was only a dog to look at. The dog looked back at me. It was a Shih Tzu.

Horrible turnover
We've suffered a catastrophic level of voluntary attrition in Ottawa. It's so bad that we can't execute programs anymore. Management deals with it by pretending there's nothing wrong, so we just keep losing top talent. This is definitely not just an... — read more

Firings instead of layoffs?
A coworker of mine just got fired with very little cause. He's the second person I know in the past month who's been shown the door unceremoniously. Is this happening all over Honeywell or is this simply a coincidence? I wouldn't put it past them to... — read more
PLM/EOPS

Take care of yourself
It is called capitalism. Find a better job. It is not going to get any better. We had VP tell people in Tucson, that the reason we should stay is because we have a great view of the Mtns. Sad.
