The new normal for me involves not working for Honeywell any more. There are places to work that don't abuse their people this horribly. Adios, mothereffers.
In theory, but no. The problem is there are 100's of programs ongoing, starting, stopping at any point in time. They each plan independently, and thus the resulting demand on staff fluctuates wildly. If the people managers had to staff to that, they would be hiring and firing staff constantly to match the demand. I've seen aggregate demands from the programs plans fluctuate by as much as 500 people- in a single month! There is no way to plan/staff for that from a people manager perspective.
Systemic org wide demands to hit arbitrary hourly targets?
Culture focused on per person checks and past history of tracking "EEI" by person. Dumping staff on programs above published plans?
Wouldn't it be better if people mgrs got out of the way and program mgrs owned revenue targets? My MIP as a program mgr is being trashed by people mgrs with no stake in my program.
Do NOT falsify your time charging! Federal crime. Retain any written communications to the contrary.
As the earth travels around the sun, Honeywell's most important financial quarter is.... you guessed it this one. Until the next one starts and then the treadmill speed and angle get turned up again.
What have you done for me lately?
There's like 2 weeks to the end of the quarter? Hmmm....
Honeywell business as usual.
46hrs or 50hrs no difference.
Zero overhead . They will still hold staff meetings and push mandatory training.
Like everything else this has become the new normal.
