Is the Austin reduction part of a larger consolidation?

Seeing the news about the 43 layoffs in Austin today makes me wonder how much longer we’re going to be told that we are 'doing more with less.' Every all-hands meeting is just a different variation of the same buzzword bingo. They keep pushing these efficiency metrics, but the actual headcount keeps shrinking while the workload stays exactly the same. It feels like they’re gutting the legacy teams to pay for whatever the next big initiative is that nobody actually asked for. I’ve been here long enough to see the cycles, but this feels different—there’s zero transparency. Are we just slowly being hollowed out? Would love to hear if other sites are seeing similar numbers, or if this was just a localized cut. Seems like nobody is safe regardless of performance ratings anymore.

The writing is on the wall. Honeywell has been signaling this shift toward automation and offshore operations for years now. It isn't just about Austin; it’s a systematic move to trim the fat from legacy divisions to prop up the margins for the new tech sectors. If you’re in a role that isn't directly tied to their latest 'high-growth' initiatives, you’re likely already on a list. They’ve perfected the art of the slow squeeze, keeping workloads heavy while thinning the herd until everyone is just burnt out enough to quit voluntarily.
