IT
Seriously- WTF?! I just had to deal with HW IT to fix a password synchronization issue (outsourced to outside company- same as HR, which is a whole other conversation). Wow. We really are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it’s obvious IT is... — read more
We have too many management levels
It can be so frustrating when there are so many people in the mix when it comes to getting certain things done. It seems like there's a bunch of people who believe they've got all the answers about how things should run, but honestly, they're not... — read more
Q3 Hamster Wheel
Run faster! Get material in!! Charge more hours!! Overload Cost plus contracts!! Hurry the most important quarter in the history of the company is at stake.
Townhall 3M
So the new CEO came out with his new messages and his main focus is to reduce the behaviors to 6. I recall when DA came on, he expanded and increased the list that DC created. The new list apparently added teamwork (was it "win together" in the... — read more

End of work from home exemptions
They are telling to phase back into work. Slowly no sudden moves. Anybody been waiting for this to call it and move on? Some of my coworkers live quite far and have said they won’t commute. I haven’t seen them running for the door yet. — read more

As long as you keep training your own replacements, nothing will change.
Q4 Furloughs?
Anyone know if there will be Q4 furloughs for direct employees? Last round only affected indirect employees.
Leadership
Across the board, it’s truly the worst I’ve ever seen. Anywhere. At any time. In any company. I’m old, and have been around for a while. I’ve seen a lot. This is next level however and It’s really starting to affect the day to day jobs of the... — read more

Still a casualty of 2005 layoff
Evidently, I just learned on Indeed it is World Su----e Prevention Day. One hospital director directly suggested to sui-idal people to come try out thier psychiatric unit? Why, so they can be discharged with a $50,000 debt that would only make... — read more

What flavor Kool Aid is coming in q4?
Is it cherry or fruit punch in the face? It won’t be grape. That’s for sure
Honeywell is not all bad
There are plenty of positives about working here. The problem is that the negatives have been multiplying in the last five to six years and they have started to outweigh the positives by a large margin. For those of you who are new here and this is... — read more
Honeywell job titles - CTO
I was randomly browsing LinkedIn and noticed that there are way too many CTOs in Honeywell. What is the deal with so many CTOs in one company?
Toxic work culture in America today
This was originally posted on an article about another company, but I thought it really fit well here: Speaking as a 67 year old guy heading into the last year of his career at the executive VP level, I can honestly say that top management creates... — read more
SPS Layoffs today
I know IGS and PSS are planning significant layoffs today. I think mainly overseas from what I’ve heard but there are impacts here in the US. And don’t get too comfortable. A 4Q furlough is most likely on its way.
Does anyone believe VOE results
The overall moral in my department is quite low following a number of RIF’s. In fact a number of people refused to fill in the survey as a protest. Given what l’ve read and heard about SPS, I found it really surprising that the overall satisfaction... — read more
What do you do when your manager feels threatened by you?
I think he's trying to set me up for a PIP or the next round of layoffs. Suddenly he has issues with my work but all I did in my three years here is make him look good. He was appreciative of it until a couple of months ago, when his boss noticed me... — read more
Diversity and Exclusion
The latest corporate Diversity memo bannered 12 face-shots, implying employees or people "engaged" with Hon -- with only one being a white male. How should we interpret this? Is this a corporate goal?
ISC Engineering No More?
Seems a change has taken place yet again for the engineering team. Its back to the ‘same-old-same-old’ organisation after years of fitting into another group. I pity them engineers that were just getting themselves settled in only to shocked one... — read more
Just saw this on Twitter, I thought it belonged here
Holy sh-t it’s not “quiet quitting” it’s called not being worked to death
Non solicitation advice?
I’m a external facing employee and I’m thinking about leaving. Any new job I take on will most definitely have me interacting with the same customers soliciting business. How worried do I need to be about the non solicitation clause in my... — read more
Hurricane
So, now that we are under a warning, I wonder if they are going to show little concern for employee safety again and stay open as long as THEY have power.

There will be a town hall at Morris Plains with the new CEO. Will it be the end of the Morris Plains location?
Shakeup Shack. Change be a coming.

SPS Intelligrated Customers - Hold on to your hats.
I have heard that Honeywell has decided to give up on the Intelligrated customers and will be shutting down Intelligrated before the end of the year. Hopefully your projects will be completed before then. Review your legal documentation now!
Diversity (or lack there of?)
My colleagues are high majority from a specific high growth region and seem to do their own thing. All the Europeans and Americans seem to get excluded from major projects and Americans disciplined, and eventually terminated if they don’t leave on... — read more
Furlough questions
There have been a lot of posts about furloughs, but no data or other information: Were (and are) the furloughs company-wide? If not, which divisions have actually had furloughs? Was everyone in the divisions with furloughs included (i.e. did the... — read more

Anyone have the scoop on new furloughs? I just heard of a group @ PMT was furloughed last week.
Is there work life balance in honeywell
Does honeywell's culture includes work life balance? If an employee (individual contributor) leaves work on time, no one has an issue. But when a manager leaves office on time based on standard working hours, then the next level manager perceives it... — read more
