" A Tale of Two Retirements", October 28, 2015,

"

David Cote of Honeywell has the largest nest egg among major federal contractor CEOs,

with $168 million. This will deliver him a monthly retirement check of more than

$950,000—56 times larger than the $16,975 monthly check President Obama is set to

receive after he leaves office.

"

That was Oct. 28, 2015. His pension is likely over 1,000,000 PER MONTH now.

OEF also equals RIF. Reaching OEF targets is cutting costs and that is usually cutting people as we have cut all other areas already

And HOS is preparing documentation for outsourcing or RIF

HMR = Hurts My Rectum

".....Honeywell CEO David Cote’s pay package totaled $21.3 million in 2016....... The company spent $21,000 on security for Cote. But the Honeywell CEO did use company jets in travel valued at more $352,800. Cote also got financial planning services worth more than $135,400, according to Securities & Exchange Commission filings."

Great post, O.P. That's what I like about this forum, it's a great way to communicate and organize to some extent a sort of resistance. There is a growing number of us who are determined to prevent the corporation from profiting from their bad behavior and there are many ways to do it. My loyalties are with the people I work with and there's not much I won't do to defend them from the greedy insensitive bastards at the top.

PIP quota = sport hunting

Unreachable Yield goal = sport fishing

Elbow = Btt Fckin

Unlimited vacation = Corporate control over your life and no pay when you get RIFed.

Thanks, OP. #GOLD post.

If You Stay, Push Back

Honeywell is notorious for finding ways to break unions and strikes. A frontal attack will not work unless it is organized world wide.

If you decide to stay at Honeywell for a while, here's another approach. This is especially important for managers, though a little riskier for them.

Learn from Gandhi. Don't accept the BS. Push back in a peaceful way.

For example, stop calling people "resources" and "assets". HR (and not just at HI) has been taught to detach from people by acting like they are not human. Worked well for Nazi Germany, as an extreme example. Let's stop making it easier for managers and ourselves to watch all the talent walking out the revolving door.

When someone is leaving the company, say goodbye. If it's a RIF, VRIF, retirement, or new job, take the time and effort to give that person a heartfelt sendoff. Set up an offsite party (since HI frowns upon it) and let the PERSON know you will miss him or her.

Despite all the company policies to the contrary, care about your fellow workers, and show it. Help others, and reinforce others when they help you.

As long as you stay, do not fall into despair. All is not yet lost.

Push back by demonstrating you care about your fellow employees, no matter how uncomfortable HI tries to make it. If enough people do this, a few execs will be brave and do the same. (They are most at risk for treating people like human beings). Keep it growing at the grass roots level. It may never reach the top, but it won't matter. Everyone else will get it.

If you stay, push back.

Silliest title I heard: "manager of footprint rationalization". You can't make this sh!t up, http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/footprint-rationalization.html

My idea of push-back: take an extra coffee break, don't be in a rush to come back from your lunch break, don't work one second of unpaid overtime and for damned sure don't take any work home.

Oops. Did it myself. Let's start using truthful terms. It's not a RIF.

RIF = layoff

VRIF = fired

furlough = unpaid time off (UTO)

asset = person

resource = person

Help me complete the HR Dictionary of Deceptive terms, and let's start using the truthful words instead. Let's stop making it easy to treat each other like garbage.
