I used to respect this place. But that respect faded slowly as priorities shifted and so many promises were broken. There were bright moments but they’re drowned out now by short-term thinking. I respect the few people who try, but the institution feels worn. It's over.

Generation shaming is a bad look folks
I think Gen X and Z are entitled and arrogant.
I love this place! Fire all the slackers and especially late boomers! The laziest we ever hired.
Honeywell rocks. Your mindset is in gutter.
I've worked for dozens of companies as a contract FPGA developer.
I have worked in safety and in aerospace.
Best companies I've worked for have a few products and small teams that take pride in producing them. Almost always those companies were privately held. This tends to make for long hours and zero life balance. Anduril was like that even though it is growing fast. Fun.. but exhausting.
Honeywell makes ANYTHING the customer might hint they want and takes no pride in anything but cashing the check. I've never heard a honeywell VP or President give a convincing description of Honeywell's mission... they can't because there are 10,000 missions.
I'm interested to hear how you would fix honeywell.
The only fix I can imagine is to let the product lines and individual sites go it alone.
If a site can't pay for itself it should have been shut down long ago anyway.
List the products in order of revenue high to low.
running sum and percent of total to the right.
when the sum hits about 80% of the total stop and draw a red line. |
Everything below the line gets a stop work. shut down.
If 50% of your work is one product. only keep that product. everything and everyone not related to that product .. goes.
I have no stake in this at all.
I understand a lot of people looking to get out so it sounds like the culture of the company as Zebra is in the final stage of an offer to another Rep, is it the rep or the company at that point.
You obviously never worked for another company? This is toxic. This is robotic. Every other company I have worked for has been pleasant to say the very least and I know I am not alone when I say this.
no different than any other non-startup or the occasional family business.
the company didnt change.. you just got old.
what you remember as inspiration and comradery was just your naivety.
