Today an email went out from Facilities asking everyone to have a name on their cube so that Facilities can tae an empty cube census. What was hilarious was that they had a printable attachment to use if you didn't have a placard. That paper version... — read more
Leadership Changes and Bullying
How would you react when a new leader takes a global role and demands everyone send him an email directly about "if you were the president of the company"? This person proved multiple times to be a bully to previous employees and insulting to staff... — read more
NAYSAYERS?
Alot of you Naysayers out there really need to think about how Honeywell has treated us compared to many other companies in the US and abroad. I have worked for Honeywell Aerospace for the last 6.5 years and i have been treated very fairly, benefits... — read more

Per conversation with past ops manager from past, all site leaders have been notified of no layoffs or furloughs scheduled for 2017.

HONEYWELL WANTS IT BOTH WAYS BS!

Word of Advice on RIFs
I'm not sure if there will be any more RIFs coming soon, but, if so, and you really want to go, don't act too excited about it. If the company is trying to save money, by not paying severance, then why lay off people who obviously hate their jobs?... — read more

Safety Shoe BS for 2017
Vouchers were just given out for safety shoes this year. You can only use them on the shoe companies Honeywell bought out, and there are only 10 options available (locally at least). Also, apparently there are no women anywhere in Honeywell that work... — read more
MEDICAL INSURANCE WHEN RETIRING
