Career opportunities in Honeywell appears much lesser than the pile of workload and docs stacking up on your table. Until someone resigns, or someone at the management level creates a new role, other than that, there's so few position open for hiring, so let alone career opportunities searching within. Don't even talk about career advancement, just a plan designed to give you a false fantasy that you are working towards that 'new' opportunity" , a false hope, to dummies who don't know yet

I've been reading this post for several days while resisting the urge to respond. I can't take it anymore. If you can't put together a paragraph with decent grammar, how do you expect career advancement?
Walk away. Unless you want unpaid levels of stress.
The conscientious and the ethical will be ground to a pulp by the vicious grifters and parasites that are in control
I had the same experience. I had a great rapport with most of the leadership and was a high performer but my inept boss saw it as a threat it seemed. He was dishonest and nasty and treated me like the enemy. So I joined the competition and am now really the enemy. Now the fact that he’s a buffoon is a positive. My stress levels are down and quality of life is up. He’s somewhere buffooning and I’m no longer forced to deal with it.
I worked hard and supported/elevated my director until one day his director realised my efforts and suggested to both of us in call that it might be a good time for me to move upto a leadership position. From that day on my director went from an ok guy to the nastiest, snakiest piece of work, using every passive aggresive move in his power.
I was put onto the 'dead' projects, had all my self developed business initiatives taken away and given to others and found myself now excluded from any internal meetings.
Unless I moved to another group within Honeywell, that was my career over here and there was nothing I could do.
Career opportunity? HA. You can work hours and hours and do what you're told and still be furloughed and sh-t all over. The career opportunity is to get paid every other Friday, until you're not anymore. :(
A few years in this meat grinder and your employability will be severely reduced.

Not sure career and Honeywell go together any longer. It’s more of a bus stop till a better opportunity comes along.
think about what you're asking...with all the middle mgr fluff layers you really have to tow the line. just look at the year end review process for example or the furlough debacle.
I left for a company that doesn't do either. We coord with our mgr and team members fire the incompetent and get our raise and bonus w no strings attached.
Of course we're 1/10 the size of honeywell but only have 4-5 layers before getting to the sector pres and 1 more to the CEO... there's no need for the extra fluff
Seems to be a prerequisite for Honeywell Directors and Managers to be outright liars, thing is, none of them are very bright so they are perpetually caught out.
I applied for a couple positions to a different department in IGS and then the managers above me (who verbally supported my decision) blocked the move. Still stuck in engineering h-ll. I'm looking external because I know I will be riffed when those roll out.
From those that have left, they all say the grass is greener.
Those with options should just walk on by. Take a pass, so to speak.
Not sure I can agree. The amount of turnover in the organization (especially middle management) is really high so new “opportunities” are frequently available. But ask yourself if you want the role that no one has lasted more than a year in?
