#trustworthiness

still a fishy company

Yes—“fishy” is fair as a judgment about credibility, though not the same as proving fraud.

The pattern is what creates the distrust: Honeywell repeatedly highlights orders, backlog, AI, automation, productivity, and future conversion, while employees see layoffs, offshoring, weak current revenue, and constant restructuring. Management may be technically accurate sentence by sentence while still presenting an incomplete picture.

The most suspicious part is the lack of clean reconciliation:

How much growth came from real volume, pricing, acquisitions, backlog conversion, AI-enabled products, and ordinary labor-cost reduction?

Until Honeywell separates those drivers and shows that strong orders consistently become revenue and cash flow, I would treat the narrative skeptically. Real company, real technology, but heavily polished storytelling.

How could you trust anything that this board is doing to the firm !! Never mind a trust officer. Let’s line somebody else’s pocket with options and bonuses

Will we ever see the results? Will MW ever address the fact that he's completely lost the workforces trust and that we hate him?

They are easy to identify. Don’t trust those who immediately jump to liking and commenting on a LinkedIn PR / propaganda post by a powerful someone. Keep your distance. They are the backstabbers, guaranteed.

All the complaints around severance, PIPS, notices etc…. It’s a mixed bag of confusion on purpose. Designed to frustrate you and have you just walk away and not follow up. Tons of gaslighting, shuffling of meeting times and mixed message. It’s not disorganization, it’s the plan. A meeting invite to “discuss things” , your PIP. You show up and no one else does. Then much later an apology as something more urgent came up that needed attended to so a reschedule is needed. This will happen a time or two. It’s all designed to keep you on edge, stressed so that you’ll leave.

The same applies to the severances. “Any questions, concerns or updates needed just contact this number\email\person etc..” and when you do, no answers, no return calls, no traction. If you’re persistent enough you’ll get somewhere but again, its all be design.

All in all, they just want you to go away with little to no hassle or fuss. Trust me, this is the plan at work. None of it is illegal but certainly pushes the boundaries of the Citi trustworthiness, honesty, yada yada…but they don’t care. It’s the bottom line that matters and the bottom line is that you have to be ran off in order to make up for the lack of the return on investment on AI that was promised to the board. Unfair or not, this is all there is to it.
