Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

I can just imagine the financial chaos the would happen if every exempt person(in unison) just charged the 40 hr standard week. All forecast and projections would just fail. I wonder how long it would take ( a week maybe two) before it got the attention of the ALT brain trust; and what action they would take to compel the extra hours mandated to safeguard their bonuses and earning projections?

Dont work the OT and when he complains just tell him youll try better...play the stupid game and keep looking for greener grass...there are many who have found better cultures/pay/benefits. Honeywells Aero customers are working hard to remove all HW equipment off their fleets due to terribke customer support anyways...eventually you will have to find abother job from the HW corporate greed.

Answer is #3, except you do have a choice. I stopped working OT when they changed the WFH policy a few years back. Now I spend the time previously spent on OT stuck in traffic. Have suffered no negative repercussions from management. It is all a mind game they are playing.

The answer is #3, and they can’t put it in writing because it would lead to well deserved lawsuits!

15%? I guess I missed that memo. I only work OT if we are trying to meet deadline and we are behind. Outside of that, it is a flat 40 per week. Never get questioned about it. Performance reviews and merit increases are always the same, whether you work yourself to death or not.

Never let management know what you are capable of.
Promise to deliver about 80% of what YOU know you can deliver. Then deliver about 85%... you'll be the hero/overachiever.

Vs some fool that promises 100% and delivers 90%. Although he delivers 5% more than you, YOU get the promotion and raise while the other dude gets hacked for underperformance.

You can always vote with your feet and leave. People who have left continually express that there are "real" companies out there that actually give a $hi!. Go find one and don't make any excuses.

I have recently been asking myself that question: "What is more important to me: working a few extra hours to try to make management happy, or (alternate activity, such as doing something with my young family)?" Because of this, I have scaled back how much time I am donating to Honeywell. I am now aiming for 2-3 hours of overtime each week. I'm curious if this will make any problems for me, but my manager is not a fan of the big push for higher metrics, so I think I can get away with it indefinitely.

I hope everyone works how much they need to instead of working extra hours for no reason (no GOOD reason). We just had 2 people in my group quit because of all the abuse from management over the past 2 years. My guess is things will start improving very soon!

I’ve been in the US workforce full time since 1978. Various companies and roles. But regardless of where I have been, my unbiased observation is:

1). 55%
2). 40%
3). 5%

Companies will load you up to the extent you allow. Yes, there are the 5% where you tow the line or leave. That choice is totally yours. In the other 95%, people have a skewed perception of their own importance and value. And it costs them dearly in the long run.

Only s—ers are pushed to work OT.
If you do it you do it for yourself because you want to not because they pushed you to.

ALL employees need to put their foot down and refuse to do the free OT unless they have a legitimate deadline to meet. They are going to RIF us anyway, so might as well get it over with.

You’re a coward if you work the free OT. Perform great in 40, let life worry about itself.

Answer #2 is the correct selection for people in ALL companies. They succumb to intimidation by their employers and sacrifice their family time and health; too weak to say no. By the time they wake up and taste reality, they are a mental case, they have gotten divorced, they are working on their second heart attack, and the kids want nothing to do with them.

I just got told today I was promoted to tier4 in Mil a/c group. Not sure who my group will be but I need to have an unwritten goal for my team to have 15% overtime on average and over 38 hrs per week on revcogs to meet business goals. I don’t even know who my team is but I already need to change their work to be successful? I don’t even know what projects are right or wrong.

Honeywell isn’t the place to work if you have children.

This place won’t change until enough people quit.

Good luck.

What are right charge codes? If you are working on things they asked you to do isn’t that right?

Only 15%!!! I am working way more than that and still getting slammed every week for not working more hours on the right charge codes!
