Excerpt from The Street interview with Dave Cote. Link for full article is at end of excerpt. Interesting how far away from his 'legacy' he has slid. TheStreet: What would you like your legacy to be after serving as CEO of Honeywell for so long?... — read more 

Ottawa lost at least 5 today (confirmed). Possibly as many as 9. They haven't told us all who it was. Only one was voluntary.

All while Dave Cote likely tells investors how strong the outlook is for "increased revenues". Since HON is already at the bottom of the supplier surveys of all the major aircraft companies, it appears there will be no investment into improving... — read more 

Please help the homeless by donating all the wonderful Honeywell shirts and polo shirts. I gave mine directly to less fortunate folks living in the Phoenix streets. You can also try calling a shelter. Please don't discard the shirts. Plus it is free... — read more 

Looks like a final purge of remote workers in places where there's no HON plants.

It may not happen in 2017, but 3rd hand account from upper mgt mtgs is that "Unlimited vacations" will be limited to 3 weeks for block 5 rated employees. Only block 1 and 2 could possibly get more. Happy New Year!!!! Does anyone have any leads for... — read more 

For as big a deal they made about the RIF in Q4 (and Q3 prior), this is really anti-climactic. Not a whole lot of people being let go. It is almost as if ALT doesn't know what they are doing. :)

I had my HON exit interview this morning and Friday is officially my last day. Also was told that the non voluntary RIF will happen on Friday, 1/6. 2 people on the team were accepted for voluntary RIF. The others will be let go on Friday. No... — read more 

I'm hearing one here, one there. What difference does a single contributor make? Okay 250k annual relief to a 38 Billion $$ company. I could understand a cross the board 3% RIF but this follows on the heels of 2 other RIF's. ALT, You should all be... — read more 

Today our group had one VRIF and one INVRIF. The second one makes no sense. Moral is sub-par.

Mandatory meeting for pmy guess a flyer was gong around about forming a union?

There are stacks of 'moving boxes' staged in the lobby of all plants.....

Greer just lost 1. Funny how it's always the workers getting let go, but never managers.

Schedule your vacation time and send it to your boss next week after the rifs. Make sure you get an answer on why or why not. Just how does their answer fit into the new policy. Have definite plans. Make concrete plans to go on a "cruise" or a place... — read more 

@HoneyWife, where is this happening? The RIF begins Tuesday Morning Pacific Time, January 3, 2017. ((((OFFICIAL)))) Heads up!

Like Mr. Trump mentioned, "No computer is safe". So, I wouldn't be so sure all posts are fully "anonymous".

Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an... — read more 

No respect for people on Vacation! Welcome to the new Hon Aero era, so-called leaders with no leadership, calling their teams or emailing them while they are on vacation with their families. But when the leaders go on vacation "don't even dare... — read more 

My number one resolution for this year is to leave Honeywell. Just saying it out loud relieves my blood pressure. It it hard to give up on the idea of retiring from Honeywell. I have given it my all and was truly a dedicated employee for almost 9... — read more 

I know, I should turn on my laptop and find out myself (but I don't want to!).

Any word when the next Aero E&T VRIF will be?

Anyone hearing any rumbles for a VRIF for corporate Functional employees i.e. HR, Finance, IT. They had a recent re-org and it seems like a lot of overhead and dead weight in Corporate.

Speaking with several HR professionals, it was suggested that anyone who is furloughed should look into their state laws regarding unemployment. In Ohio, it was encouraged. Can you imagine how much unemployment costs would skyrocket for Honeywell if... — read more 

Took early retirement in May of last year after being denied First wave VRIF. The PIP was a wake up call to say enough was enough of watching the lunatics running the asylum that is Honeywell into the ground. No longer do I need antidepressants nor... — read more 

Cote should go on under cover boss or any body else that belongs to the ALT. What an ear full they would get. No guts and don't care what the real worker is going through.

I want to say Good Bye to my colleges. January 6th 2017 is the confirmed last day of all accepted RIF at ISC Torr, CA. I will miss the friends and commendatory. Please keep you sprites up. I will be around soon to say good bye. But can do it this... — read more

I love to see what Tim's compensation was for 2016. I wait eagerly as we enter 2017.

I am new, just shy of a year with the company. My 6 month review was OK. I have asked around and no one seems to know how a person gets selected. I have noticed most VRIFs are getting denied, and have heard of new engineers getting a surprise walk... — read more

Sad to say but all I can think of is Dave Cote as Scrooge. His search for that ever higher stock price at the expense of employees while grabbing more options and millions in salary seem similar. It is hard to wish him well. I remember the AiResearch... — read more 

And it's going to hurt me financially. I'll make do, for sure, but what is happening is I'm looking at a reduction in pay for 2017, and rather than simply reducing my salary over 26 pay period, they are taking it out on me all at once. When I hear... — read more

It was done for "possible future growth". Seeing the other posts about sites closing, buildings for sale, I wonder which one will wind up at Sky Harbor? Lots of tight-lipped leaders aren't letting on.
