Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

A poem - Visit from St. RIF

Twas the week before RIFmas, and all through the plant,
not a creature was stirring, not even an ant.
The HPDs were all filled out, no behaviors to spare,
with no hope our leadership would even so care.

The workers were nestled all snug in their cubes,
with worries of the upcoming, kick in the pubes.
The managers have targets, of just where to cut,
while we hope the bullseye, is not on our butt.

When down in the townhall, there su-kers did sit,
but others just skipped it, as they didn't give a *darn.
With new Tier 2's seated, all in the front row,
the acronyms and reasons, had started to flow:

With RDE, RevCOGS, and supply chain to blame,
it's seems hard to fathom how we've so lost our game.
On Aero, On SPS, On PMT, and also Automation,
our stock price performance has lost out to inflation.

With headwinds unending, and planning so poor,
we all seem to wonder who will be shown the door.
The blame must go somewhere, but not to the top,
as that layer fiddles, while we run the shop.

Now comes the grinch, an outsider he claims,
with orders to split us up, and large gains his aim.
In case you don't see it, I'll make it so clear,
We are all just pawns, with a new game each year.

As a former Honeywell employee, I absolutely love how well you nailed it. I was in Clearwater location and saw the hardest workers leave but those on the floor that worked every minute of overtime, got away with everything.

Very well done! @OP has a talent in wordsmithing. Maybe a TS song about unrequited love of a corporation is next?

Inaccurate. HPDs aren’t filled out
