I have been looking for a new job for a very long time. I've almost given up hope of getting out of this place any time soon. What are your experiences with looking for new opportunities?
A total collapse of morale
There is no adequate raise. There are many employees who can hardly cope with the stress. Colleagues who are very difficult, almost impossible to replace are leaving. It is often the case that the less competent become superior to others. - Where... — read more

Dave's new Book
He's selling his new book. Winning now and winning later. In it he brags about benefit reductions, fat and smoking tax and what he is most proud of what he did to change/eliminate retirement plans at all major companies. Must be lonely on Cote... — read more
Failing up
Is it just me, or is Honeyhell the only place where people keep failing up? Several times I've watched as guys who messed up in a major way not only did not face any consequences, but soon they ended up promoted. It's demoralizing and infuriating to... — read more
Man, I love this place!
Layoff.com that is. This is the only place that I know of where I can get information about what is going on with Honeywell in all of its SBG's. Honeywell does its best to keep us all isolated and ignorant. Honeywell tries to create a sense of... — read more

Furloughs are back on the menu!!
HON, what else can you expect
HON Causes Army To Ground Fleet
WSJ: O-ring failures in HoneyHell engines caused fires in Chinook helicopters. Army had to ground their entire fleet of 400 helicopters. Future Shapers
Intelligrated RIFs this week
It's happening. Not surprised with Amazon pulling back in the market place along with economy slowing down.
Electronic Solutions Eng Underabsorption
Email last night warning about costs exceeding revenue and that the balance must be zero by year-end. Looks like the ESE RevCOGS incentives aren’t meeting expectations.
Have you met my friends at raytheon, harris, l3, and intel?
I am stuck here. Can not move due to family. Will remain retired in place until fired. Meanwhile my hobby is convincing new hires to seek better jobs. 6 for 6 so far. The recruiters at raytheon and intel call me directly for leads. ... — read more
Oldies are Not Goodies
Honeywell follows industry trends. Experience-Age-Knowledge-Value to Org. means nothing to the bean counters. All they see is immediate gain rather then sustained long term growth. Oldies have a target on their back with 20 years with the company... — read more
Honeywell rescinds WFH exemption
Just got an email this morning from one of the K**ens in HR. As of September 19th, anyone on a WFH exemption must return to the office on the flex schedule. I guess the morale suppression team got wind that working from home was retaining people... — read more
Terrible atmosphere
When I applied here, I knew the situation wasn't ideal, but I really couldn't imagine the atmosphere being this bad. The worst thing is that there are no indications that it could ever get any better. Those who have been here for a long time - has... — read more
Organizational Scar Tissue
If you think people have scar tissue, you should see organizations. Each time there's a disaster, they create a process to prevent future disasters of that type. Eventually they accrete a thick layer of these processes that prevents them from moving... — read more
Band 3 Making $130K under 30 - Is it worth it to move up?
Hi Ya'll, I'm a band 3 engineer making $130K. I've been at Honeywell under 6 years, I'm under 30. Is it even worth it to move into a manager or band 4 engineering role? How much more does the pay go up, is it worth the stress? I want to have a... — read more
4 Stars
Honeywell hit 4 stars on Glassdoor... corporate HR must be poppin bottles! I suppose when you can't use the Fortune 100 status anymore for marketing, you need to pump up those positive reviews.
Are PIPs being used instead of layoffs?
Too many good employees who've been carrying the weight of many underperforming employees for years are being put on PIP lately. I see no other explanation but that Honeywell has decided layoffs are too expensive and they've decided to get rid of... — read more
Tired Company
Has anyone actually looked at the slides on the default screensaver? We openly mock how bad our customers tell us we are. In our all aero townhall we are told all about amazing record numbers and opportunities then a company wide email comes out... — read more
Honeywell is great…
A great place to be under appreciated, underpaid, given a measly 2k bonus to then be taken away because of “COVID”. Even better, you can work in a empty cubicle farm while waiting to get your garbage vestment. And many pride themselves with the great... — read more
Torrance Site Closure Planned
I’ve heard directly from HR reps and verified from engineering recruiters that Torrance is consolidating its site location to Phx and Tempe. Lots of early retirements. Closure planned for early 2024.

Things that frustrate you the most here?
I'm afraid my list would be really too long. It's time for me to leave, and I used to enjoy my job here.
Sadly, Honeywell is not worse than any of our competitors
All the companies in our industry are the same. They treat employees like sh-t, put profit over everything, promote based on office politics instead of merit, underpay employees, and so on and on. If you want a better work environment, be ready to... — read more

Thing that matters to corporate?
I think it would be good if it wasn't just the hourly rate that matters to them. I absolutely agree with someone who mentioned it.

Q2 Townhall - Inflation Raises
Gotta love Darius laughing at the thought of giving us all raises to combat inflation. "If we give everyone raises for inflation are they going to be okay with pay-cuts when inflation goes down? Chuckles" I do not know how he thinks inflation... — read more
