It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to bear having to work for an unqualified, incompetent boss.
How do you deal with such people, whose ego is mostly inflated to the maximum?
They are doing huge damage to Honeywell!

All you have to do is wait 18 months for them to move to another position they are not qualified.
They are always hiring their friends. If you were offered a job that you weren’t qualified for, are you really gonna tell somebody that you should have the job.
Just look at how Honeywell is run. This is why Honeywell is going down. It must be a corporate decision. Hire whoever you want. Then when the cost of doing business skyrockets, or threats of losing contracts. They have a right to relocate the division.
Which would be located in a low-cost region. I think it’s a set up. Better yet! They can also relocate the division overseas.
In my opinion. The managements not even qualified to run an out house. I don’t even have qualifications an out house. They definitely don’t have qualifications to run a pencil sharpener.
Yea, sounds all too familiar! Find it incredibly sad that these same ‘unqualified bosses’ somehow find a way to get rid of the actual qualified employees, one way or another (with the amount of layoffs though, it’s just a matter of time). Truly shows how much they’re threatened by the more experienced/qualified employees; like to think that eventually people will catch on and no one will trust, or want to work with, that person.
Most empty suits employ a "fake it till you make it" approach, relying on personal connections and treachery rather than any real values or skills.
That is most of Honeywell now isn't it! The last decent bosses we had across SPS werearound 2016/2017.....ALL gone now! From then on Honeywell's hiring and promoting just completely lost the plot, decades of hard work undone in 5 years. Sad to say I have quiet quit now, I just collect the forever shrinking paycheck.
@rea+1o3fnGkR Wow, we have one of those! Sound almost like the same person!
Failing up.
The Honeywell way!
Yessssss! HR was on the wrong side of the ethical line in my situation.
I won’t be surprised if Johnny Boy et al causes HON to lose the ability to receive gov contracts in the US, or worse.
Management and HR will generally "double down" on an exposed fraud, to make a point that they will never respond to pressure "from the masses."
This unfortunately seems common place here. One of our colleagues is a manager, he was interviewed by a director with no real knowledge of our discipline and unbelievably he got hired. This guy is middle age with previously less than a year of real industry experience and even in that job we found out he got fired. Previous to that he only worked in jobs that did not require qualifications. His resume rings many alarm bells and he knows suspiciously little about his subject matter. A couple of us have seen him regularly doing online tutorials at work. But here is the kicker, after making an absolute mess of the job and generally just being a walking disaster..... Honeywell Riffed his entire team but kept him!!!!
We work alongside him but fortunately not for him, we all marvel at how he still works here. Honeywell is the strangest place I have ever worked for!!
I had to leave. I worked for Johnny boy and his privileged, unqualified buddy and couldn’t stay. The arrogance coupled with the ineptitude, rounded out by the lack of integrity, was just too much.
@OP+1o3fnGkR Do you work in SPS ISC with a boss out of FM? Sounds like you do!
I totally agree with you,have experienced the same. Retired now was in a Rif back in 2015. Unfortunately the path to advancement is to buddy the right person.
Realizing that everyone eventually becomes an “unqualified” something I stopped worrying about it and started thanking them for doing a job that is part kindergarten teacher and part garbage man.
Meanwhile I am happy to write zero hpd reports and work my projects.
