Today I signed an offer giving me a 20% raise with a company who genuinely sees their employees as essential assets and not just lines in an accounting spreadsheet. However it's bitter sweet. While I'm freeing myself of a toxic company with damaging business practices, I'm leaving a team who I enjoyed working with and helped me develop my skills sets and exposed me to revolutionary engineering design principles. I suppose it shows that nothing is black and white in professional environments as well as personal. I encourage anyone who finds employment opportunities they believe in to pursue them and realize their freedom from Honeywell.

Good for you! A ton of very talented people are leaving my company. I'm not sure leadership really understands or cares about the long term impact to the business.
Run Forest, run!
I left this year as well and it was the best decision. Before leaving I was telling people that I would rather give happy endings at shady foot spas than continue working at Honeywell. That’s when I knew I had to get the he-l out.
Congratulations!
Everyone who get paroled should be happy and live a stress free life away from HW.
@1blr+1pe9mWau You deserve to work another 50 years at HW. Enjoy.
@1pwz+1pe9mWau I'm sure the OP will learn much more by leaving than by staying. Maybe next time don't drag down someone else's appreciation for where they've come from and just nod and say "that's good." Not every thought in your head is one worth sharing.
WTF, “ revolutionary engineering design principles”???? Where were you at? Being outside will provide you the ability to reevaluate that statement.
@ogg+1pe9mWau your sense of humor, while very dry, isn't lost on us. Good luck on your next meaningless effort to up end a genuinely positive post about people being free from Honeyhell.
They tend to appeal to the bottomfeeder and brown-noser looking to play politics and hitch a free ride at the expense of others.
I also just accepted an offer. I took a 25% decrease just to GTFO!
@ogg+1pe9mWau Hold on.....you are 'tired of picking up his workload'.....errrr I don't think that will improve any if he is not going to be there LMFAO!!
I am on the team that the OP works on. We are very excited that he is leaving. We were tired of picking up his workload. he talked about his knew job last week. He is not getting a 20% increase.
I am in the same boat as you. Just accepted an offer outside of Honeyhell and this new employer really seems to care about the people that make up the organization. I'll miss my team, but I'm beyond relieved to escape the BS. Congrats!
