Employees that volunteered will be notified earlier in the week followed by involuntary later in the week. All will be done the same week except for employees outside the US and Canada. These employees are definitely impacted even though they couldn’t self nominate. They will be notified approximately 2 weeks later. For sure these employees think they are not part of the Aero RIF but they most definitely are. Be prepared in PR, Mexico, Europe and Asia.

Legal reviewed the involuntary employees 4-6 weeks ago. No need for them to review the employees that volunteered. The sooner the employees are gone the sooner Honeywell realizes the savings. Thus the RIF notice was given the day after the last furlough ended and only gave volunteers 48 hours to decide. It is all about speed now to save money. This is far from BS.
I witnessed a layoffs in Feb at Mpls. All WFH called in and a day later they started the wave. So the wave will start when no more wfh
@1rvr. OK you got it figured out.
Census meetings started 2 months ago. Legal doesn't have to review all the volunteers but management has to decide what who they need and even if you volunteer you may not get it.
BUT I know that this week will let everyone know if this post was BS or not.
Too funny that some expect exact specifics to be posted here.
So I'll hope that I don't know anything and that there won't be any involuntary RIFs.
That would make me happy! Peace.
Legal just needs to chat a graph and assure age groups aren't disproportional. Simple. They learned their lesson a couple of decades ago in that legal loss.
Volunteers would be quick and easy for Legal review you’d think, they are asking to leave, just need to make sure you are not losing a critical resource. I have no doubt this has been in work since the furloughs first started.
@1kqo - “BUT, something could delay it”. In other words, you have no idea. And Legal hasn’t been going over the list “for some time now “, because the volunteers only applied during the past couple of days.
Seriously? What do you think happens to your pension? If you leave the company for any reason, apply for your pension. It’s not that difficult.
@zle. Just wait a few days to see if this post was bs.
They have worked weekends in the past. Not a guess on my part.
Legal has been going over the lists for some time now. BUT, who knows, something could delay it.
Yes, curious about our pension. Anyone know what happens?
What happens to our pension if we get axed?
Applied for voluntary, if accepted do I have to start taking Honeywell retirement package right away or can I wait until I'm 62.
WFH. If notified by phone, will they have you mail back PC and company assets? Can you go back into work and get your personal things?
If I am destined for the axe, then for mercy’s sake, swing it swiftly.
This post is BS. Legal department has to approve the RIF list, and they would never even consider working during a weekend.
Since I work from home, I was fired via phone call meeting with my manager & HR. If you call into a meeting and a random HR person is also on the call I suggest hanging up immediately unless you want the package.
OP, Thanks for the info.
This is factual and it will all be over next Friday for US and Canada. Severance includes health coverage. HR is working around the clock to make this happen all next week.
OP, is your timeline based on actual fact, or assumption?
How they going to do this with so many folks WFH? You get an e-mail saying, “hey can you come into the office for 30 min??”
Will there be some advanced notification (say 1-2 weeks) before the layoff takes effect? Or just an email with subject "Chopped"?
The sooner the better. I will never work for another company like this again in my life.
Does the severance package include health insurance? I was not able to understand that part ...
Hope they do it this week.... already have another job lined up
Thanks TD!
Looking forward to severance and a brighter future.
