Seriously- WTF?! I just had to deal with HW IT to fix a password synchronization issue (outsourced to outside company- same as HR, which is a whole other conversation). Wow. We really are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it’s obvious IT is working from a flow chart. I’m stuck at the “I need to consult with someone else on this issue” block. Meanwhile I can’t access a site I need to to do my job. If HW is expecting to run a smooth operation using this model? Good luck there. Just wow.

Wtf says it all.
Anyone else find it disturbing that the Indian IT sub contractors use names like Bob and Carol much like those Indian telephone scam companies.
WTF says it all.
Information Technology at Honeywell is mismanaged beyond repair. Need a reboot starting top down. Nice people who make promises and commitments to their customers they know are impossible to achieve. Down south we call that a LIAR.
T2s from India stand and show T1 leaders pretty graphs that are simply false and claim that the screaming angry mob that is their customer base is just uninformed.
Sorry , I won’t listen to your lies and fake statistics. You cannot use tools to measure success when the tools are broken.
Indi*** mafia took over IT a few years ago. Mujibar wil take care of it.
The worst part of IT is the constant mandates to use tools that have no competent support and often no path for a license. They starve funding to legacy tools so you end up with nothing. All of my programs gave up and just run 100% open source. No share drives and certainly no corporate tools. We don’t even use IT laptops to write software. Those things are nothing more than email and remote access terminals. And no.. we do not purchase machines from IT. Zip zero the door is locked.
We had an on site IT person who was constantly on google reading how to fix even the simplest issues, it was painful. Really makes you wonder.
HW doesn’t need IT. Whatever application you are working on is just a show. Most are broken, some without license.
Honeywell IT is a scary mess. How can every access request for a secure folder pass through a +91 phone number.
Don’t worry about that ITAR data.. just dial+91 and share your screen. We will get your AECS program rights all fixed up. Just let me escalate to the resolver team and only a five or six more phone calls to get that ritm to the right department. Or you could give up now.
A lot of is offshored or given to whatever mediocrities they can manage to hire. Large companies are being hit with one major breach after another because of their failure to competently manage their IT.
just ask RED :)
I’ve been around long enough to remember on-site IT that worked for HW- who did a great job. Then they got outsourced (no longer HW). The great job went with them.
That is the job of IT at large companies to make it expensive and painfully slow to get anything good done.
You can never have all three in IT.
Cheap + Fast = low quality.
Good + Cheap = too slow.
Fast + Good = expensive.
Unfortunately the reality at most large companies these days. It’s IT executive management’s fault for not properly justifying the value of good IT (or they just wanted bigger bonuses before leaving for greener pastures). The new “accountability” focus came way too late for them.
