Managers tried to spin it as nobody from ceo down got raises until it was asked if bonuses were still distributed to upper levels including immediate managers. Of course they got their bonuses while the "regulars" get nothing which will impact you for the rest of your career. May be time to reevaluate time at this company.

Why wouldn't we get our Managers bonus? If hourly employees performed at my level we wouldn't be in this mess.
I agree with all of the above. These individuals at the Corporate level have no shame.

lol "futureshapers" haahaaahaa. So true.
They knew they were going to cancel our raises before they paid the bonuses. They waited until the bonuses were paid to cancel raises.
Dear Clock Number,
Work until you're sick and give me your raise. Oh...Try not to die, I will need more out of you next week.

Corporate greed at its finest, like the forced furloughs a couple of years ago. Honeywell used to be a good company to work for, but not anymore. After 30+ years I am retiring soon, I feel sorry for the people left.
I guess they were afraid if they gave out raises the CEO wouldn't have got is 18,000,000 bonus...
I hope no one on here thought that management wouldn't get there raise...
What would make things better is to shut down for the days that the governors are doing and let the workers stay home for the 14 days and that would help the economy and help the business because of the virus
Companies are stepping up all over America to be of help during this crisis. Changing their product lines to manufacture health products, giving raises and bonuses to employees, hiring as many extras as possible, etc. Honeywell's first move is to retract all raises given to the herd. Their next move was to provide spray bottles of disinfectant so that we will be perfectly safe going to work. pffft.
After our economy is back to normal, I am looking elsewhere! Such BS. Last to send you home when there is COVID in the office, yet first to take your raise away. Why did I work so hard this year? Need a company that takes care of their employees.

Sadly i have brought this up to my manager as i was already given my review and was granted a larger raise this year. partly because i was a higher performer and partly because it was determined that i am apparently underpaid compared to my peers. i finally felt like the company was doing me right but then this. my manager was unresponsive and unsympathetic, mostly because he's just in cruise control to retirement. tough luck basically is what i was told...i'll give it a year then i'm walking like much of the other talent.
How do you tell someone Wednesday you merit raise and sign for it Thursday there is a meeting about merit raises have been canceled? Sounds kinda fishy if people so not do anything about it. Honeywell will lose in the long run
“No raises for everyone” is a false statement and I will explain why. So there were many employees that received promotions last year. If you received a promotion before the end of Oct, then you qualified for a raise the following year. Now if you received the same promotion after Oct, you were told you did not qualify for a raise, but the promotion amount was higher to make up for this. So you may get a 5-6% promotion before Oct, or an 8-12% after Oct. So the people that were told they had the “Advantage” and would qualify for possible raise just got crushed along with everybody else, except for the lucky ones that got it all at once. This is wrong on so many levels and I believe is a form of discrimination. This wasn’t just for hourly employees, but also on the salary(non-bonus) levels. I thought Honeywell always touted their integrity for fair pay practices? Regardless of what the economy is going through, they will regret these decisions. If you were a victim of this, I highly recommend you bring this up to your supervisor, manager, and HR, all the way up to corporate level. If you stay quiet nothing will ever change.
No bonus next year. Plan to jump to stronger industry if you need more money next year. Which you will. Inflation will return with vengeance given zero percent rates
To the underinformed individual comparing Hon to GE's currently "admirable" behavior, GE fell apart a few years ago because of the same maltreatment of employees everyone writes about here. They got caught and exposed by the media, were forced to reorganize, and have been trying to polish up their tarnished image ever since. GE is a cautionary tale, not a role model, and don't think for a minute that a core cadre of the same rotters aren't still running the GE show. They're just more careful now.
Some in my area got a bonus. When this mess occurred I checked to see if these people needed to prepare to relinquish their bonus, and here's what I found:
"if no specific terms apply to the program and this was a check for past performance, the employer cannot retroactively reduce your pay by taking away the bonus."
This was a written plan announced a year prior with a target, the target was met and in fact exceeded, which produced a bonus for band 4 employees and above per the rules. The plan was met prior to the world-wide crisis where the decision was made to hold pay raises - can't help that.
I won't contribute to the sour grape attitude. This is life in the big city.
What’s the point of trying hard all year if you’re just going to get screwed?
Meanwhile GE cancelled bonuses for upper management and gave raises and bonuses to staff level and below. $U!K You Honeywell
No raise + inflation = pay cut
Nope. Only Execs got their bonuses.
That’s right future shapers, this is the company you joined! Time to move to a company that actually values their employees versus looking to them as a benefits/wage reduction to increase profits, the future is what you make it.
Bonuses were paid prior to our raises being canceled. Let’s be intellectually honest.
