Around 800-1000 moneyhell employees in PR and they want us to do their jobs. Wow! Probably expect them to be at work on Monday.

Interesting to read so many negative comments on this site about Honeywell in general (mostly Aerospace), and I agree with a TON of them. I do think that Honeywell is stepping its game up for support of Puerto Rico though. Is there a way to measure whether it is enough, probably not, but jeez, this isn't a simple problem to solve. At least give them some credit for trying.

Sounds pretty bad. Honeywell should help.
HON sends an email that there's limited damage at their buildings in PR, but NOTHING about their employees..people, US citizens. What a greedy, sick company!!
2eez Outstanding suggestions!!. Let's just hope that HON leadership has the balls and compassion to make these decisions as we all know how they are when it comes to making a decision that could decrease their bonus $$$.
Those are all good ideas but I don't think our leadership team reads this site. Maybe send an email or post some tweets.
Haven't seen any official Honeywell comments on PR, which is disturbing as there are so many employees there. So for the HON officials who monitor this site, here are a few things you should do. Use the HIPAC/Gov't office to get updates and find out if employees and their families are all alive and as safe as they can be at this time and tell their managers and co-workers who are located outside of PR. Create a dedicated PR aide team to help employees with FEMA paperwork and find out specifically what they need - get boots on the ground. We have Aero emergency personnel and plenty of prior military. I'll bet some of those folks would be willing to help out for a few weeks. Transport Red Cross/Salvation Army/other aide workers to PR on the jets, free of charge. Use the company jets to provide supplies (I know the jets are small, but you can provide medicine and pre-charged cell or satellite phones at the very least). Provide solar cell phone battery chargers so that employees can communicate to friends and family until electricity is restored (which could be months). Waive the current "plant shutdown" rules which only provide a week of pay, and fully fund their paychecks for this period. Waive the biometric screenings for all PR employees that are supposed to occur for 2018, with no penalties attached to anyone. Provide no-interest loans to employees once basic services are back up and running to cover any gaps in rebuilding prior to their FEMA and insurance funds kicking in. Provide assurance to the PR workers that their jobs are secure during this trying time. There are a lot of people who are smarter than me on this site - so provide your ideas for assistance as well.
800 - 1000 honeyhell jobs in PR...... makes me think how many Would have been on mainland if honeyhell did not do this off-shoring work.
What has Honeywell said they will do for the workers in PR?
I am well aware of what this site it but I am a human being with compassion for my co-workers. Their family and friends don't need the added stress of having to worry about this. Our focus should be on helping them recover not putting fear into them. Don't you think they have enough to worry about?
Yeah it is a layoff site. Sso go back to your fake news rumors and leave your co-workers in Puerto Rico out of it. They have real and life threatening problems and not the junk you whine about. Nothing to see here so move on.
They can end your job but they can never end your career. There is life outside of honeywell. Unless you are a leaching director or VP who is only good at putting power point slides together. Then you should worry about your career.
So - sickofabunchofbabies - you know this is the layoff site!??? The sentiment of the comment is that HI expects work to go on - not a slam against the PR workers. If you are truly a company person then you shouldn't be on this site. Just get back to your EEI until your number is up. They will find a way to end your career
These negative post about our fellow employees in PR are inappropriate and insensitive. You all need to get a life and stop being a bunch of babies. If you don't like working for Honeywell, leave.
Yes, possibly a home that's unlivable; no electricity means no water, phones, sewage, refrigeration for food or meds, etc.; all the basic necessities we all take for granted. And the O.P. is concerned about how this will affect his or her job.
How pathetic.
You know folks, the entire island of Puerto Rico is without electricity, water and phone service. Their power grid is down for weeks if not months. So yes the Honeywell site will be out of action as long as there is no power.
You think the hw employees in PR will have their EEI lowered, I think not. HW will screw them worse. They already get screwed because their pay is so much less. F-HW!
No. Negative comments about OP are from a concerned employee who works with team members in PR. OP begins with a whine that he and others will have to do PR employees jobs. Inappropriate. PR team members are going through more than most of us will ever have to suffer. Grow up, OP. Look for positive ways to help PR folks.
The OP is saying that Honeywell probably expects business to go on in PR, doesnt care about the people and that they will expect employees to show up to work on Monday. All about hon. It's sickening to hear about the devastation. Negative OP comments must be from HR or their public relations.
I feel so badly for the people of PR. They're trying to make a living like the rest of us and the island was hit hard. I'm glad this is happening to HON and I hope HON takes a large financial hit because of it. I am keeping the people in PR in my thoughts. Godspeed everyone.
