I started looking for another job a long time ago, not because of the vaccination, but because of the general atmosphere in the company and because I'm underpaid.
I'm interested in how much higher pay you got in other companies when you left here, and did the workload increase proportionally as well?

I left HW Aero about three years ago when they said we could not WFH even when we were hired to work locally with suppliers.
I got a 9% raise. Much cheaper health insurance, raises and NO nine block rating system. Also went from no bonuses as a band III to getting a 10 percent bonus. We got over 10% last year.
Accepted a VP role with 64% salary increase, 20-25% bonus plan, far better benefits package, and great work culture. Two years free from Honeyhell and not looking back.
Ok. I am seeing questionably huge percentage numbers. 50%! Really? I got about 5% more, but minus the ‘pension’ so it’s about flat at 0%.
I was making highly technical decisions that were real nasty nail bitters at Honeywell. Now at the new company, I support a factory floor and the biggest problems are ‘my computer has errors’ or ‘this part don’t fit’. Oh yeah, and management is 100% clueless. It’s very low stress comparatively so that is a nice change of pace for a while.
@3iyw, the fact that you don't understand WHY we don't give out our new company names underscores your general ignorance and ensures that HW is the best job you'll ever have, so tread carefully.
@3iyw: The internet makes it very simple to find new employment opportunities available to your skill sets. Don't believe everything you see on an anonymous site like this.
@2ylt Funny how you can't get an answer naming actual company names.
Wonder why not. Maybe the post naming fictitious company names is closer than people want to admit.
13%, lower health insurance premiums, lower deductible and 401k paid biweekly, healthier environment for sure
I one year ago for a new position at another Fortune 100 Company. Since then, I’ve gotten a promotion. 46% total increase. Honeywell has ALOT of underpaid talent.
Just received an offer. Only a 14%, pay boost, but 100% WFH, lower insurance premiums and company HSA contribution. Same 401-k match, but paid with each paycheck. Less vacation than what I am currently taking. Expect workload to be similar to my current load.
@2ylt Dunder Mifflin, Sirius Cybernetics , Acme, Soylent Corp, Wonka Industries.
You get the idea.
40% increase in base salary as I was able to get a leadership role. 10-20% bonus expected. Also due to lower healthcare cost, the total monthly amount in my bank is higher. Having said that, in my job search, my focus was on culture (opposite to HON’), which is making a significant impact on my mental health- and is more than any salary increase.
Can anyone name the companies that pay more than Honeywell? It would be very helpful.
25% pay increase. 401K match 10%. 50% reduction in health premiums. Real vacation- 3 weeks to start. 6 weeks at 15 years. Why does anybody still work at HW?
About a 15% pay increase and a 20% weight reduction lol.
My take home went up significantly more because the health insurance is 1/3 the cost, and I’m 100% WFH.
50% raise. 20% less work. Overtime is appreciated and not taken as a given.
30% factoring in HSA contributions, ESPP, etc. Plus flex time and being treated like a human. Still working hard but realistic expectations from management.
30% higher salary, 100% WFH, far better benefits, encouraged to take nights and weekends off and to use PTO, great culture, lower workload but equivalent professional level.
20% increase, comparable benefits, and management that respects my abilities like HW management used to. Thank you HW for pushing me to see how much I was being underpaid and reminding me how good management can be.
I have applied to 10+ band 4 equivalent positions and gotten two offers in central florida. Both did not offer enough money difference to make the jump. One was a 10 percent pay increase but a longer drive. The second was closer but a 15 percent pay cut, probably because it was a smaller town.
Now looking in other regions.
Approx 17%
I wouldn't say workload increased, but it's more viable to actually get things done, so you're held more accountable
Also, to consider: benefits, vacation and paid OT
