@fm and judging by how many times I hear indians playing racist card in US, I wonder why they are staying here...
They shaped the company right into a breakup due to 15 years of zero market growth.
Big empty hole is also a shape.. right?
I always have liked the comment from someone here about Honeywell not hiring Future Shapers but Future Shavers. Probably still applicable.
@ff
India does have better food to be fair
@ef they sent to a better place, it is called India.
Leader shaped the future out of the company..
It's pretty hard to feel like a futureshaper as I search the web for floppy disks to support the 1980's aero factory test stands. Is this a technology company or a technology museum?
Hopefully will go away - the future Honeywell has shaped has been the offshoring of American jobs, the cheapening of products, delay after delay, and the cumulative clusterfrack that has drawn the ire of long term customers. The #futureshaper facade is crumbling and is the butt of jokes among customers, suppliers, and employees alike.
The only future shaping we are doing is creating new patents for Kool-Aid to serve
@bg while I agree that the bunch today are not future shaping, there was a time as recent as 5 years ago when Honeywell thinking, strategy (not execution) and aspirations was fascinating.
There have been numerous initiatives over the years that are pushed hard to start with and then just fade away. It’s no wonder a few of us old timers have grown cynical.
You could see the smarmy looks on the OLD FHers! One that says look how low I will go to save my sorry backside
I was generally impressed at some of the branding that HON did - Forge, Futureshaper, etc. - these are solid concepts that could be utilized for a lot of things.
I am even more impressed at how poorly they’ve been sustained after inception. It just goes to show how transactional of a culture HON has.
@ag for sure. Just wasn’t sure if it was shed. Always thought it was retodded that they didn’t either say “the future is what we shape (instead of make) it” or, if hellbent keeping “the future is what we make it,” saying futuremaker instead.
But yeah, lame either way. The least futuristic people I’ve ever worked with.
futureshaper was a d-mb term anyway
Right sure it will wink wink
