No one could treat employees worse than Honeywell. Except maybe Kim Jong-un.

Be careful what you ask for.
I have a friend who's hourly job was was transitioned to Celistica. He's doing the same job at the same ex-Honeywell site. His benefits were reduced by one week vacation a year to match Celistica's allowance. His salary is frozen with no hope for a future raise due to Honeywell's pay structure was higher than Celistica's. His out of pocket medical cost went up over $500/yr.
Just sayin..........
My site Aero have been full of Japs this days walking , talking ,watching rumors said they are the buyers.
simply stated it would be the best thing that could happen to AERO
For all the real worker employees how bad could it be to divest Aerospace. Perhaps the potential acquirer will see the real value in the employees and exit the management and HR practices that are draconian at best and see the real value proposition in those terrific employees that have sacrificed long and hard to try to see better times. Better times were realized by executive mananagement from the director level on up while all the sacrifices were made by those dedicated to the craft. Hypocracy within Honeywell management has trashed real career growth within the Honeywell COE soiled towers! Sites that delivered should have been left alone. And now sites like Stimson who have always carried their weight from a revenue and a P&L standpoint suffered under the weight of almighty HOS and the Cote agenda. Stop the madness and let our people go!!!!!!
@ywp, that is not just an opinion, it's the truth. The main way AERO shows "growth" and "revenue" is by selling assets, cutting benefits, cutting headcount, reducing the spend on product support and product reliability improvements, rehashing tired, old products as "new". Cutting the funding for service bulletins was a nice touch too. You know what this company always seems to have money for? Parties for rich executives, free lunches for everyone on the 4th floor in sky harbor, $8500 per flight hour to fly the 757 around with Honeywell's new junk WiFi and the cost to fly all the people along with it. Money for dental coverage? NOPE! Can't afford that.
Proof this place is run by scumbags.
I figure that Honeywell would deceive any potential buyer on the condition of the Aero division, as to being capable, and how much it actually costs to run the business. Not knocking Aero employees at all, who I know are working hard in a bad situation.
We all know that with the brain drain & skeleton crew left in most sites it is not capable of new product development (NOT just re-hashing old stuff) and isn't even capable of supporting the current products & customer base, let alone adding new product lines or customers.
Due to the skeleton crew, and the self-mutilation-cannibalism that has occurred over many years, it appears to cost way less to run than it would be, if made capable to operate as a viable whole again.
Buyer beware, Honeywell has created a virtually non-capable entity which has been used as nothing but a money vacuum for far too long.
That's just one opinion.
