I do work for several people. I’ve never liked to talk about myself in superlatives, but objectively, I work a lot more and I’m much more productive than most of those who have a much better status than me in this company. It doesn't bother me, but it bothers me that there are persistent demands for more. Everything I do is never enough. They want me to leave? I don't understand what the ultimate goal is.

Honeywell practices "burn and turn", they hire people on for as little as possible, squeeze as much as they can out of them through unpaid overtime with the threat of layoffs and firings, then after about 3 years they layoff or force the employee to quit through mistreatment and abuse so they can hire a new employee at low pay and repeat the process. This allows Honeywell to avoid paying for unnecessary costs like raises and benefits while extracting as much free overtime as possible. This way you fund the reduced costs and increased share price to compensate the board, all for free.
I am sure you do YOUR work to perfection.
Nobody cares, especially your boss.
To succeed in honeywell step 1 is to understand your bosses hpd goals.
Do NOTHING that does not advance your bosses goals.
Your projects do not matter in the least.
I assure you this strategy works and will earn promotions.
If your boss is terrible then your job is to recommend them for promotion to a different department, site, and preferably continent.
You will never satisfy them! Move on! > Yep, I did, just recently. Manager was surprised for about 10 seconds then wanted to get on with the process and complete his checklist. Overall, I simply got the feeling leadership would be happy to lose another overly compensated USA employee with 40 yrs experience.

Find another job external or internal to have a fresh start otherwise they think you are a “forever employee” at which point, they will abuse you to whatever extent they desire
It is an absolute delicious feeling to let your manager know you’ve accepted an offer
You have the work ethic and desire to do what needs to be done, but you lack the confidence to say no.
You have much more to offer than all of the keyboard warriors here that have to bring everything down to their simple existence.
The quality or amount of your work is never what you are measured by , unless you are a technician. You arent even measured bybyour goals. What matters is your bosses goals. Did you contribute to those in a meaningful way. Did you influence others to do the same.
Understanding who i work for led to a long and profitable career.
This works until you reach age 55-60 and then it changes. What matters is only who you know.
That's a classic trap in any work situation. Being a "yes" man brings you more work, but not necessarily more personal satisfaction, or money. And, at the same time people expect you take on more and more. I've been there for sure as well, but you need to take back control and learn to say "no" and thus avoiding increased stress levels and potentially personal health problems in the long term. Learning to say "no" is not negative
Sounds like they are smarter than you and enjoying their little pay pig.
No worry, RIF will come soon enough to resolve your grievances.
