For this pay period, many employees didn’t get their floating holiday pay and their double time pay. Did this happen at your site also? I wonder what caused this? Sounds like it happened at multiple locations.
VOE survey is a complete waste of time
Anyone feel the same way? I've always dumped the scores on the VOE survey and I don't think I am the only one who feels this way. Each year we participate in these d-mb surveys designed to give us a false sense of inclusion when in reality, the ALT... — read more
Coping Skills in Toxic Company
Here are some of the survival tips I've learned at Honeywell so far: When the manager starts yelling/blaming, find an object nearby to focus on. Take three deep breath and start dissociating. Occasionally mutter an "mhm" and end the conversation... — read more
WARN notice for Arizona
So, what’s the rules for WARN notices for Honeywell? They have more than 100 employees so they should but there are exceptions. For example, closing plants with fewer than 100 employees left…I think??? Trying to figure out if they are required to... — read more
Expenses
I was told if expenses aren’t billable then I can no longer expense them. We are funding our own business expenses now ? It started with mileage. Then it was individual meals while traveling. Now it’s baggage fees and cancellation fees. If I have to... — read more
No vac requirement effective 4-17-23
Vaccination requirement has been lifted! Still need more of an incentive for new folks to come aboard I think ;)
401k mechanism is terrible!
The match system here is terrible!! Paid in Honeywell stock and only in the new year??? Hello Enr0n. Says everything I need to know about this place, they hate the employee. Add this to my new super awesome manager who's more useful than a bump on a... — read more
SPS Layoffs
IGS had layoffs last week? More to come?
National Haiku day
Toxic power plays, Honeywell's leaders decay, Employees dismay.
Do less, live longer
You'll feel even worse when you work hard all year only to get the exact same block rating and raise as the guy who sleeps during teams meetings and didn't meet his goals. Do less, live longer. Always remember this when working at Honeywell - your... — read more
Poor treatment
Certain senior leaders are treating employees so poorly. It’s bullying. Toxic toxic toxic culture. Honeywell is going to end up paying some ugly karma.
Q2 Incentives
What is the pulse on the Incentives bonus? Worth it, do it, don't?
Re: the blame game
Adding to a recent post about blaming employees. My favorite is when management throws employees in without showing them how to the job and blames them for not swimming in a toxic sink or swim environment. It’s as if I throw a dictionary at someone... — read more
Olathe disappearances
Noticed the leader of OEM is no longer with the company. Anybody know why?
IGS RIFs this week
I'm hearing Intelligrated will have more RIFs this week or next. They had a real bad Q1. Any other units having RIFs that you know of?
Risk
There are a lot of unqualified people in Charlotte in roles that present a lot of risk if things aren’t handled correctly. This is the first time I have witnessed this degree of ineptitude at this level of power. CE is a shell of what it was, sales... — read more
Let’s play buzzword bingo with the next townhall
Post your list of five words for our first annual buzzword bingo. Scores will be credited after the “efficiency” townhall. One rule.. no words in presentation titles. “Efficiency” is too easy.
Surviving by ignoring the surroundings
I really need this job, but lately I've been thinking that I might even take a slightly lower paying job just to get rid of this toxicity that is affecting my health. Who can last long at HON? Only those willing to bury their head in the sand every... — read more
Shorted on raise.
I’m sure this seems petty as he-l, but as an hourly employee it seems we’ve all been shorted. When I got my massive 2.8% raise last year, it added up to some fraction of a cent per hour. I was rounded down to the lower cent. This year, my raise... — read more
Clearwater disappearances
Just found out CLW site lead put in two weeks and is now gone. Our Sr HSE person was let go and their boss left as well. There was no announcements. Anyone here know anything?
VOE just before the big D makes “efficiency” speech
Interesting that the latest VOE survey comes out and is set to close BEFORE our soon to be ex CEO makes his big announcements on May 9 about how we need to make more cuts and be more efficient. Guaranteed he is leaving with higher marks than we’d... — read more
Status on New UOP Des Plaines HQ?
Anyone know the status on the new office space UOP HR was touting about last year? I am not a fan of the open office layout. Too much noise in the background while you're trying to work
Shopping the ge/honeywell aero merger again
https://www.barrons.com/articles/ge-stock-honeywell-merge-aerospace-2a97740c Behind a paywall. Dont forget that barons is a complete tool.. they get paid to publish articles by companies. This is what "floating an idea" looks like.
Blaming employees for their own mistakes
It happens all the time. For everything that is bad, they never take responsibility and always blame the employees. Well, they can blame us all they want, but what do they achieve by doing so? The problems just keep piling up.
Dentist Dan
Is Honeywell turning into a dental company??
DA or Kappy
Predictions on more layoffs with Kappy taking over? More layoffs? Less?
Global Town Meeting - Optimizing Operations May 9
Here it comes! It will be interesting as to what DA think needs to be done to "Optimize Operations". This may be about spin-offs, layoffs, furloughs, or about how Honeywell plans to turn things around after DA's years of mismanagement. Maybe he is... — read more
Abuse of power
Honeywell’s key area of expertise. 1-Place leaders in roles they aren’t qualified for. Preferably someone who failed at GE 2-These leaders then belittle and demean employees and play “I’m the smartest guy in the room because I can fire... — read more
GKN Aerospace closing St Louis
Any guess who will get this business? We share the same customers? Will HW see any of this?
False promises
I have no other explanation for why people stay here hoping for a promotion which they persistently do not get, other than managers constantly giving them false promises. True?
Warning to HON employees on PIP - You are being pressured to accept a lower severance
Most of HON PIP's are designed to get the employee to quit without having to pay severance or during termination get the employee to agree to minimum 4 week. Don't fall for the trick and ask for max severance amount. Any bogus performance feedback... — read more
Any other Sh*t companies like Honeywell or is Honeywell bottom of the barrel?
Is this company the greediest and most toxic you ever worked at?
Give up on ever being promoted
It's disheartening, but the truth is, if you're looking to climb the corporate ladder in Honeyhell, you'll need to have connections in management. It's not about how hard you work or how qualified you are. Instead, it's become about who you know... — read more
The only significant benefit not already cut is…
…severances. No way the 26-week severance policy lives to see 2024. Twenty-six weeks is at least twice the amount required to get people to sign the term papers and go on their way.
Layoffs are on their way
Something is definitely coming down too much shuffling going on. Also a lot of the same emails and rules have come out just like in October..Pcard use, hiring freeze, and overtime approval next up furloughs, RIF, and site closures gonna be a bumpy... — read more
Does no office supplies == no return to office
I wonder if the "dont buy pens and pencils email" will be followed by " welcome back to norma business" email and mandatory daily manager gemba walks to check attendance.

What is the definition of failing forward? Someone who fails over and over and still gets compensated millions. Someone who drives out talented employees and still gets compensated millions.
