Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

You get what u deserve by being mean. #Karma Pull up your big boy panties and grow up snowflake!

@4nog is correct. $850K isn't enough since this generation is most likely to watch Social Security go down the drain. Sorry, boys and girls, but most financial advisors say $1M - 2M is what you need now for health care and living expenses. @bys - you don't even work here, so go troll on another site.

850k should be enough! I’m not with Honeywell but my best friend is. You are very fortunate. My policy with a small co is cheap and very good. 2018 you’ll be able to shop across state lines so consider yourself lucky and grateful. I’ll prob end up i a Section 8 so all y’all quit your griping. It’s nit the end of the world.

To the OP. You take care of your team? They take care of you? If that's case and you are in management you are indeed the rarity in Honeywell and very very lucky. I too have been here for 'decades' and the last few years my managers only take care of themselves. It's quite sad but very true.

If anyone out there is under 50-55- I strongly urge you to get out while you can still get a good paying job because this company is notorious for kicking you out in your late 50's/early 60's when you will find it impossible to even come close to matching your income. Even if you think you have saved well for retirement- when you consider healthcare costs until 65 you will be shocked. At 59 yrs old, with $850k in retirement- it's not enough to cover health care and living. S---s. If you are young enough- plan on at least $1.5 mil by 60 and you might do ok. Just a heads up from someone who wishes I had paid heed to a heads up at 45ish. Just know. Honeywell- and many many other companies- will ax you at a point of life most vulnerable and least likely to recover. Plan for it and expect it. If it doesn't happen, awesome! If it does, you're ready!

OP must be living under a rock. Impossible to stay out of drama in any group these days or else everyone would be applying for OP's job.

Emphasis on ‘not that bad’. LOL

Been with the company for a few decades, I take care of my team. My team take care of me, stay out of this b---s--- drama you guys rant about and the place isn't that bad. Sincerely, OP

I was like OP for 17 years, then all the managers were told to get new jobs, new managers came in and Everything changed. Stuck it out a couple years and now gone. Everyone has a different situation. Hard work and knowledge aren’t always enough. S**t happens. Sounds like OP still has a decent boss. There are plenty of jobs out there.

sorry OP, these trolls only want to hear what you have to say if you agree with them. for the record, i agree with you.

Actually, I am the reason you're working so many hours. I'm the seasoned worker that put in a solid 40+ hours a week until I saw the writing on the wall and left. You and another rookie just like you are struggling together to fill my shoes. You work for half the pay, at a third of my efficiency, and think for some reason that your management knows what they're doing. Good luck, champ.

Dear "Future of Honeywell",

Unless you an inexperienced software coder from India, you have no future at Honeywell. Even if you are, that future is about 5 years or until you actually demand a raise by going to another company. You may be willing to take the abuse of the corporate sausage grinder now. But, in a few years when you're middle aged and have missed out on yet another birthday, anniversary, vacation, or your kids' first steps in order to make Dave and Darius even more wealthy without raises and benefits, your tune will change. Until then, shut your yapper and pretend that someone taught you that it's not polite to call people names and interrupt the grownups when they're talking.

#makingadifference love OP

I love my JOB and I work hard at it. But what I hate is the endless useless meeting to discuss why the programs is late when I got the job late, micro-managing every aspect, requiring more meetings to track this and that. It seems like there’s no end to new things to do for HON that has been dreamt up by some bureaucrat in AZ who only looks at number on the laptop screen. Improve productivity! If you want to improve productivity, stop making us do productivity improvement projects and let us do our job!

I have had enough. I work 50+ hours a week because of MY ethics to do the best job I can. But the first chance I get (praying to a voluntary OR involuntary RIF or age 62…whichever comes first) I’ll be out of here.

Hey original poster troll , go hang out at the Glass-Door and drink the Kool-aid.

No Dumb OP, the reason you have to work hard is because your spirits are not broken yet. My are and after so many years of giving it my loyalty to Honeywell, I am sick of being molested by Honeywell. Yes, that is how I feel. Violated to the extent that I am bitter and stuck in a horrible marriage. They took the best of my years and now I am just an old hag stuck in this $#1t hole, used and abused. Lots of great talent is now gone and it is up to us to get the work done while Harry@$$ gets his stock options just like Dave did.

To qualify my previous post, I had a ton of passion at my job at Honeyhell, I really liked my job, despite the seemingly increasing losing battle. I was making a great contribution. Then one day, a CENSUS REDUCTION. Just chopped heads to reach an artificial bean-counter number at my site, with myself as one of the victims. The site lost my contributions.

So there you go. I will repeat myself. Passion at Honeyhell is for losers, insiders and ignorants. You can do your job but....passion? Bwahahahaha!

Who could have passion when you work in the "Smiling Monkey Tree"?

Passion is for losers, insiders, & ignorants.

I'll bet your'e a kiss-asterick

Apparently too much alcohol does affect one’s ability to compose a sentence (OP).

Fake news.
