I feel we should get this site to just automatically post something with this title once a month. They have already started to implement a hiring freeze. This time it includes both billable roles and replacements. That means RIFs and “role... — read more

Barron's article on new CEO
Honeywell Is Getting a New CEO. What He Has Planned for the Industrial Giant. https://www.barrons.com/articles/honeywell-stock-price-investor-day-adb5b953?siteid=yhoof2 Doesn't seem he has a vision when he was asked the question why he got the... — read more
Ring the bell
Johnny Boy wasn’t in New York. Maybe someone smartened up and cut that cancer out. Quick check on the rest of the SPS Failure Team and see if they’re still in outlook.
Life after Honeywell
It’s great, do it. You won’t regret it.
Pension sold to Securian Life Insurance
I just heard Resideo sold/paid Securian Life Insurance to take over the liabilities of the pension fund. (Who in the world is this insurance company?!?) This is not just payment processing, Resideo is no longer paying into the pension. This... — read more
Utterly horrible place to work
I'm glad I managed to get out.
Moving to 100% in office
Darius just clearly signaled we are all headed back into the office full time. It was only a matter of time…
Takeaways from Townhall
The show is mainly through, share some thoughts: Same B@#@!t would continue as the company has been doing so well and DA is still executive chairman as he said. The top is clearly pathologically delusional and they are very proud of it. More... — read more
Optimizing operations
Watch out carpet land…
Fly under the radar
I'm a complete drain on the payroll and still got the same raise as everyone else. The people running the show are too overloaded to really know whats goin on. Most managers at the shop level have 40+ direct reports and they spend all their time... — read more
The grass was way greener on the other side for me
I spent three freaking years at Honeywell. In that time, I had to deal with a manager who couldn't manage a paper bag, sales goals that were impossible to hit, and a team that was straight-up toxic. All of this took a toll on my body, mind, and soul... — read more
Audacity
We have been dealing with JW yesterday and today. It is difficult to articulate the smug audacity. There may be some certifiable delusional disorder.
How long before it implodes ?
The s-show I witness on a daily basis, and it’s getting worse by the week, tells me that Honeywell, at least my division, is absolutely circling the drain. I cannot imagine a way we come out of this intact. It’s THAT bad. It’s always been bad, but... — read more
It’s time
Customers are done with us. They say we only bother them when we want something. Suppliers are furious because we don’t pay. The brand reputation is dog dooky. It’s time to find something else, in the interest of mental health. This is a dead... — read more
Letter to leadership
You sure have a real need. You must be trusted by the people that you lie to. You work on points for style: The firm handshake and an easy smile. You keep on pretending that everyone is expendable, and nobody has a real friend. In the end, just... — read more
PIPs don't motivate improvement
After 30 years with the company I got my 1st PIP. I had a good year. I was surprised (to say the least). My manager and his boss presented it to me. They could barely look me in the eye. They said they softened the harsh language that was mandated... — read more
Optimizing Operations -> Formal restructuring is coming?
Anyone has any insights about the upcoming townhall? It's sounds scary, and sounds more like merging some sbgs together, spinning off somes. Are huge layoffs coming soon?
Layoffs this week
Roles are being eliminated in SPS sales HBT sales and HPS sales. They aren’t calling it a layoff but role eliminations.
Disappearing
I noticed a lot of posts were removed over the weekend. They didn’t use names or have profanity included in them. They were comments about the CCO and HBT prez
Voice of the Employee survey
I wonder if they reached their goal of participation by the employees?

Here we go again…
Just received an email from management saying they want > 100% utilization in Aero. The mandate was 42+ hours on direct charge projects with 100% of any time off made up during that given week. Such a foolish ask since 90% of our staff have no work... — read more
CCC acquisition
UOP looks safe now with the announcement of CCC acquisition. HW is seems to have a lot of money to throw around for these ventures, but not so much for investing in and retaining employees with proper raises, better benefits , etc. SMH
Can you understand the new CEO?
Isn't great communication a key trait in leadership?
The Future is Indeed What they Are Making it!!
The former head of SPS essentially ran the business to the ground. The former CEO, who is a disaster himself, had his back. And now the former SPS leader is the Chief Commercial Officer? God help all the HON employees and shareholders! How does this... — read more

To the ex SPS IGS employees, what companies have you moved on to and found a better position and prospects? I'm looking for genuine ideas on where to look next.
Olathe Aero RIFs/Layoffs
Any possible closure information, or RIFS FOR iSC Aero Olathe Kansas? Business is slow, which I heard is expected the first quarter, but this company has no money to pay suppliers, and that also delays us getting parts. Any inside info would be... — read more
It looks like the UK is waking up from sleep
After many miserable and years of occupation, it seems that H in uk can not cope with the workers. Mediocre raises are rejected and priority employees are undervalued, resulting in a lack of motivation and supporting rebellious actions. Managers... — read more
Site anonymity
While I’m appreciative of the sites anonymity feature I wish there was some way to know who is posting. I feel like I have found my tribe here.
Who even bothers anymore?
I can tell you as a previously hard working employee, this silent quitting is AWESOME. Gone are the days of ki-ling myself to meet ridiculous and arbitrary metrics, worrying about HPD reviews and making sure I get all my work done each day. Man I'm... — read more
Honeywell releasing near half it’s recruiting team
Half of the recruiting contractors in the US are being let go this week I heard. Hiring is down across the entire company by 60% or so. They aren’t Honeywell employees, but given they are the one that hire for Honeywell I’m not sure it bodes well. — read more

What are the pay bands for Charlotte?
Does anyone know the salary range for pay bands in Charlotte? I am band 3 and was encouraged to apply to a band 2 role in a totally different position. Is this a waste of my time? Do bands overlap or am I looking at a pay cut if I pursue this role?
Get out while you can
Go review the layoff pages for your biggest competitors, if that doesn’t tell you what you need to know about HON. Employees should mass quit instead of waiting to get mass RIFd.
Further Intelligrated Closures?
