Thread regarding Honeywell International Inc. layoffs

Worst than ever?

Just one employees opinion:

I've been with Honeywell for 30 years. It has given me a good income, interesting assignments, and new friends. However listening to the engineers and technicians I come in contact with daily, it seems that things are just plain broken. Of course, It is always going to be a challenge when developing and manufacturing new high tech products. Of course there will be issues. But now, more than ever, it seems that the new processes and online tools being rolled out have created a work place where the right does not know what the left is doing. I understanding that our VPs are very smart people, but sometimes I think they are just trying to justify their positions with all the changes put in place. For the most part, the job now is mostly a constant scramble to put out fires. If this is a smoothly run corporation, I'd hate to work for one that isn't.

I work for this company. The last 10 of 41 years have been he'll. I will be glad to be gone. I feel sorry who I leave behind.

They are always changing things because it's harder to hit a moving target.

I spent over 50 years in the mechanical side of Honeywell, you know, the piece they'd like to get rid of. What I saw over the past ten years, culminating in my retirement last August, was a steady decline in the ability of the people running things to understand the products or the processes. That said, they could spew buzzwords to a fare-thee-well, and here we all are. Offshoring and putting people in charge of things that they can barely spell, let alone understand is part of the problem, while certain senior managers seeking quarterly goals that God couldn't meet is the balance of it. A little over three years ago things started happening in Phoenix Engines that resulted in a major exodus of experienced and talented engineering personnel. Maybe it was intentional, or maybe it wasn't, but it happened, and I'm setting up bleachers and selling popcorn to see how the next 5 years or so works out.
