Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Competition

If you climb the ladder (or swim the cesspool?), Honeywell comp is actually pretty strong. That said, it's absolutely not worth it. Even if you have a strong salary on paper, there are many ways that Honeywell leadership cheats you from your pay. Furloughs, benefit cuts, pension freezes, 401k cuts, no merit years, fake poor business performance years... There are many levers that those at the top use to cheat you from your stated total compensation.

And consider this: given the cost cutting, rationalization, and harvest strategy, your financial well-being is at far greater risk at Honeywell than elsewhere.

So yes, grass is greener, the trees are taller, the flowers are not withered, and the bushes are not intentionally thorny. 100% worth it to leave for your health, financial well-being, and job satisfaction.

ipx,

Haha. You’re not quite capitalist enough. You’re pro semi-capitalism. The margarine of capitalism. The Diet Coke of capitalism, stop at cheating me, not capitalist enough.

I quit years ago and became a contractor. Completely different dynamic. At Honeywell I was disparaged, marked-down, abused and in constant fear of being heaved out the door ... so I retired. As a contractor, my employee took a cut of my action. He was the one hoping that I wouldn't leave. This gig saw me through to taking SS at age 66. It all worked out pretty well and not having to drag myself into HON everyday? Priceless.

Agree. I am a pro-capitalist Republican but feel like Honeywell is constantly trying to cheat me out of compensation we agreed upon when I was hired in a unilateral manner. The only options are to either agree to be cheated or quit. Hopefully Honeywell is an aberration.
