Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

It's too late, we've all left the company and it's fun watching the rest if guys and gala suffer.

Leave now and find a future,

My favorite social event with the company (SSO - AKA DSES - Glendale, AZ) was the splendid annual engineer's outdoors luncheon.

One had a choice of a single hamburger or a single hotdog supplied and warmed by the cafeteria.

They had potato chips too!

What a wonderful feast,

exhibiting just about how much they appreciated all those free

EEI (Engineering Efficiency Index) unpaid hours.

P.S. The potato chips were not individually bagged - they were in a big communal bowl for each person to dig into by hand.

I didn't get any,

because a significant number of times that I recall people bolting out of the stall,

and then out of the restroom, without ever washing their hands.

Maybe those people had higher EEI numbers, via the time saved not washing hands.

:-(

DSES reminds me of Dire Strait's "Industrial Disease"

The stress from there cost me, directly, not covered by insurance, $1200 in the ER at the beginning of the year.

I had GI distress (diahrea) for 3 months strait due to the continuous high pressure micromanagement and daily status updates, status meetings were a full hour, !hour! long status harassment Every Fkng day.

Worst place I ever worked. It once was one of the best.

Good luck to the remaining plebians begin pounded on over there !

Save your money to pay for your ER visits and cardiovascular damage / !

They are now setting up for the second round of layoffs n 6 months, after 2 round of week-long furloughs. Last day to apply for early retirement exodus was last Friday 7/29/2016, big layoffs start this week 8/1/2016.

Try to avoid being in the area of the facility, the stress over there may result in workplace violence events.

Be Safe, Steer Clear !

Best of Luck

Yeah, I had that free breakfast burrito for doing the survey back in late may.......guess what ? It set off gastritis Thursday and I ended up in the ER Sat because my stomach would not settle down.

Ever time I see Cote getting accolades for CEO of the year, I want to throw up. If the investors only knew how low morale is they may put their money elsewhere and stock would tank. Been with company over 35 yrs and used to love it, Cotes reign has taken away any employee bonuses (except) for managers, took away 100% match on 401k and the ability to take out loans,health care plan s---s,pension plans have been frozen 2015 level, 2 years of 10% pay cuts, furloughs,no or sh-- raises. He has outsourced the whole company to India, China and Mexico - when he's done the only thing left will be the outsource department and someone to put a Honeyell logo on product made by another company. And Cote will be sitting in his multi-million dollar home on the beach of Ann Maria Island.

By the way 2017 was supposed to be the breakout year... You can't grow forever but you can certainly cut costs until there is nothing left to cut.

Funny... I can imagine executive leadership teams sitting around deciding what to do with the surviving employees... Let's have an ice cream social. That will make up for the benefit reductions and layoffs...

Honeywell s---s as a company. The only thing Cote and his gang care about is lining their own pockets with year-end bonuses and stock options. Although they'll try to convince you otherwise, they couldn't care less about the wellbeing of the employees. I watched the company steadily cut employee benefits and place more of the burden on the employees all the while not giving enough merit increases to make up the difference. However, they still expected the employees to give 110%. Sorry Mr. Cote it doesnt work that way. Finally after eighteen years I got out of Honeyhell. Best decision of my life.

Amen, only as I recall the ice cream social was not held after the last employees survey, due to poor participation in the survey or poor results, or with a furlough layoffs they figured why bother.

but to hopefully further you point. I agree the EM regions are not standing up and producing according to their end state goals. which by the way leadership has insisted they have reached.

This is a dead end, their has been no new investment in the product portfolio.

Allied signal has extracted all of the value it can, and eroded the value of the Honeywell name.

Customers hate us, and we have lost major must win contracts(public knowledge), its just a matter of a few quarters before someone on wall street wakes up to fact that the forward earnings are going to nose dive, and i doubt the income can be easily replaced without another major acquisition.Thank god UTC did not fall victim to the buy out.

Anyway Im volunteering for the layoff (maybe that will temporarily save another person) and or will leave on my own if not selected. but I hear 2017 will be worse, again to my point above.

Best of luck to all
