Any Football fans out there. Did you see how the NFL handled it when a player went down suffering from a heart attack? They canceled the game. How did Rvsd handle it when an employee of 30+ yrs actually passed away on site? They continued to have... — read more
RIF ????
Anyone hearing of RIF? Furloughs? The just cut all over time in HBT
Honeywell makes no sense to me
I've worked in a lot of places. I've been the new kid, the old hand, and everything there is in between. But this is the only job where the longer I've worked here, the less appreciated I am. It’s like they don’t even care about experience or skills... — read more
5 day in office? On one condition.
Move all VP and "Senior" directors to sit in the middle of our open table plan office. I will be at work the same hours you are. Zero office door policy. No i do not buy "people managers need offices" You managed for YEARS working from portable... — read more
Honeywell bullet proof-ish vest? Maybe not
Better check that label on you big out kit. You might need some new non-Honeywell body armor. Honeywell product quality false claims again. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/honeywell-pay-335-million-alleged-false-claims-zylon-bullet-proof-vests — read more

More work, more responsibilities
I couldn't be any more overloaded than I am right now. Even if I was adequately paid for all this work, I would intend to leave because health has no price. I would like to know how much more work you are doing now compared to the period of say a... — read more
Honeywell's Useless D-Bag Middle Management
Have you ever worked elsewhere where there is such a high number of useless D-Bag middle managers compared to Honeywagon? The number of totally worthless Directors, Senior Directors, and even VPs is astonishing. All they do is have weekly reviews... — read more
You know what I find funny?
I've noticed this in my many years here. When all the companies are rewarding their employees with sizable raises and bonuses, HON management is ignoring it. When all the companies start laying off people, HON is the first to follow suit. Then the... — read more
A good stepping stone
I totally agree that HON nowadays is only good as a stepping stone. Stay here for a while to evolve your skillset and leave. All those who did so are now in much better positions in companies that align with their values. Those who did not... — read more
Bean Counters and Engineers
My recent gripe was learning that new PPC people make equal to Engineer 2 roles. Congrats on the job offer business grads
Happy Holidays #futureshapers
Who’s ready to tackle all of the stuff nobody wanted to work on the entire last quarter and said they’ll get done in January???
L3 to acquire Rocketdyne. Honeywell layoffs to follow
So much for space guidance. L3 now in driver seat. Sharpen your resumes minneapolis and clearwater.
Does Honeywell/HBS give a Holiday/Christmas bonus?
Been here since Feb, and really haven't heard a word from anyone. I don't know what I'm doing most days tbh. Plan is to get some experience under my belt, and leave.
It would be nice to be able to move forward
Does anybody else feel stuck? I hear plenty of promises about promotions but none of it materializes. There is an opening, I apply, my manager all but convinces me it's a done deal, then they bring somebody from outside to fill the position. My... — read more
Did Honeywell end their hybrid policy?
Are all LOBs office only?
230 million dollar settlement??
Anyone have any insight into this Honeywell settlement with the DOJ? This is more bad news….
The real power of direct managers
I notice that most of those who leave or intend to leave primarily blame their manager for everything bad that was happening to them. However, what is the real power of our managers? I had an excellent manager who left very quickly. The bad... — read more
Are we done with mass layoffs for good?
Are we going to have small, constant layoffs all the time from now on and no more major rounds? That certainly seems to be the case lately.
HGAS and SST integration is a mess
No proper strategy except to let go of people and to treat the rest like cr-p. I hate it here.
I loved working at Honeywell when I just started
I remember having amazing people working on my first project - I felt like I was surrounded by rock stars! The work environment was amazing then, and we were always able to count on each other when facing challenges or setbacks. Within two years... — read more
All Hands Meetings
Recent hire here. Noticed a disturbing trend of these meetings titled “All Hands…” in the last 30 days. Both from my manager and my function. This isn’t normal parlance in my previous company. I interpret this to mean an emergency and we need to... — read more
New Year Exodus
How bad do you all think the annual exodus of people will be this year given the furloughs and RIFs? I think it is going to be pretty bad. I'm making my plans for sometime in the spring.
Just Booked My Flight to the LEADERS Conference
That's right, and 1st class too! Can't wait to get there smile and slap everyone on the back on how happy I am. Of course I am planning my series look on topics with the head-winds of supply chain, FX currency, and will enthusiastically nod on how... — read more

SPS
GK is not going to stop. He is he-l bent on reducing cost. He is taking out head count in all areas. The leaches that cling to your rubber boots when you walk through a swamp have a better moral compass than this @ss. HON is broken. Top down, we... — read more
It's like working at some lame college frat house...
I mean this with all due respect, apologies if this sounds harsh but my intent is to be blatantly honest and not intentionally mean: I hate how everything here runs like some badly managed college group project; where the culture finds it acceptable... — read more
Setting boundaries
It is very easy to advise someone that they should set healthy boundaries in order to avoid burnout and refuse anything over 45/week. However, in reality, how many of us here really succeed at this? Maybe it's easy to set the boundaries if you have a... — read more
SAD DAY not sure ok put it on here
As title says very very very sad day a coworker passed away this am about 0350 in the office. As I said hope ok post this here. I trained him about 36 years ago so yes hurts to see him gone we weren't friends outside of job but at job we were like... — read more
No more extra work from me
I'm a go-getter, I love my job and I know I do it well. What I don't love is the pressure from senior management to work late nights and weekends. It's time they learned a lesson: you can't expect people to put in extra hours when they aren't... — read more
Christmas Party
Relatively new to Honeywell. Are Christmas or Holiday Parties not a thing? Talk about cheap.
Shell Game
Come on. If you know you know. Level 4 and beyond. Stop the games. We get it.
Modus Operandi
From my observation, the modus operandi here is to buy up companies, cut operations to the bone, invest as little as possible, distribute profits to management and shareholders, downsize and RIF in order to keep profits flowing, repeat until nothing... — read more

Mighty Mike is ruining this company.
Mike Madsen aka Mike Putin aka Mike Jinping aka Mike - any other dictator
Mike Madsen does not care about employees. He doesn't pretend to. If he had the option to make employees "disappear", he would do it. I understand that his role is to make the company money, and that is fine, but please don't pretend to care about... — read more
An example of how not to manage a company
I am really disappointed in the way this company is managed. This can be an example of how not to manage a company. Employees who are still here have constant worries about furloughs and cuts. To be fair, your position will never be guaranteed in... — read more
Another blow for HON Aero, losing the Defiant bid
Mad Dog says he doesn't want us speculating as to why the platform wasn't chosen but I think most of us could speculate. My guess is they knew HON's delivery performance isn't great and they just had a nice taste of that with the T55 program. It... — read more
