I have been working here for a very long time and I think that leaders have never been more disconnected from employees than is the case now.
Somehow it seems to me that the HON leadership had more will to listen and respond to employees' feedback in the past. What happened in the meantime to make them change?

Funny that you feel like there wasn’t a gap between workers and leadership. Probably a result of more communication. In past decades nobody even knew the name of those many VPs and Presidents.
Who cares what you think? There are fifty better trained people waiting for your job and those are just my close relatives who I am sponsoring to immigrate.
@bhp+1hMNRkg6 so very true on your statement. Plus on top the woke culture, dividing us with all the networks and for what to fit they woke agenda. Darn metric numbers and again what does that have to do with our jobs. SO bad there was a person ready retire in 11/2 years and they fired them do to speaking up about how management is and above them telling the truth hurts and it shouldn't.
I've been away from HW for a couple of years now and am in the midst of looking for my next position, actively interviewing with 4 companies this week (2 of them are third interviews). Looking at the reviews on Glassdoor (not all companies have negative reviews deleted) and comments on thelayoff.com sites for these companies (none of which are in the manufacturing space), it seems that the devaluation of US employees to raise the stock price has become the norm. There is much lamenting from longer-term employees over the tactics of their new, toxic ELTs.
It seems as if this is a deliberate strategy to alienate "expensive" US workers and replace them with workers from emerging economies, and then hire a horde of "customer experience" people to try to do damage control with the frustrated customers. A very short-sighted approach, but the ELT members will be laughing all the way to the bank as they look for their next company to raid.
Luckily, it will take these companies years to sink to the depths that HW has sunk as an employer.
Greed, hubris, and arrogance.
