Just announced at tier meeting , effective immediately no more overtime for R&O , unless approved by leadership.
I wonder if RIF’s are next?

Payroll even messes up normal 40 hour straight time and shift differential for employees on a continual basis with not getting it resolved.
payroll is so messed up that, they had to cut OT otherwise everyone would run to the department of labor just like I did. If you see missing pay or missing OT, don't wait for HON to fix it, just go to the department of labor. A hundred billion dollar company that can't even accurately pay their employees should be shut down immediately. THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!!
I think this can be done across the whole entire aerospace unit. The current management says this can’t be done without overtime. Elliot management and the people that he picks the lead the company.
They will show results! This is why the letter that Elliot wrote to our board of directors. Stated that the current management structure at Honeywell. It doesn’t support shareholder value. They’re all whining that they can’t do the work without the overtime. This is totally false because they don’t know how to run the line any other way.
It appears Olathe is simply late to the party. The discussion that began last week already laid out the core issues. This isn’t a case of the executive leadership team suddenly stepping up; it’s a reactionary scramble to protect optics, with no real accountability for prior decisions.
The new zero‑OT policy for direct labor is an operational failure in the making. It wasn’t built on output data, capacity modeling, or bottleneck analysis—yet site leaders are being threatened with performance management if deliveries slip. Requiring personal approval from unresponsive executives for every labor exception isn’t leadership. It’s creating a new bottleneck on top of the existing ones.
Leadership finally doing there job or just trying to cut costs? There's no shortage of hourly employees milking the clock when there's no workload to justify it yet nobody is ever held accountable. Similarly, there's no shortage of VPs making $300K+ a year either. Maybe the gravey train is nearing the end.
