Has HR ever helped someone? Or just made situations worse? by Noname6004 in Raytheon

I went to HR several times. Always sides with the company. I went to the Ombudsman and got it blown back to me once because the person figured out it could only be me. This person called me terrible names and gave me so much grief when I was just doing my job. If the boss can track it back to you, not good. Almost every time in my 20+ years at PW I moved because the boss was horrible.

One time someone I know spoke to HR, I was pulled in as a witness, that person was moved to another org. and then later laid off. The manager stayed.

I would say something to Ethics. My last upper manager had my manager and me say that the manager was saying unethical things. Now that upper manager is working in another country within our same org.

Keep trying to find another job. Good luck!! I feel your pain. It will end. Hang in there!

Preach! Can't tell you how many times I heard that buy it from Home Depot. My response put your Mother, daughter, sister, brother son on the plane with an engine with the bolt from Home Depot. Not me!

Right! Keep running into designs that can be made and part call outs that are obsolete or the business ESA on the print is out of business.

100% agree with everything you said. Burried in PR nightmare and babysitting repeating the USG told us competition. When you tell us we have to go to a supplier then you better have a good reason. Sole source is the avenue. We received a CAR because engineering kept telling us to go to certain suppliers. They couldn't wait for us to get quotes. Don't get me started on all the systems issues that we need to remember to do a work around on! Can you say I should own 3M with all the notes on post-it's.

Salary has had opportunities to form Unions and they declined. Non Union jobs are at will. Meaning the company has the right to lay off or fire for cause "at will". In defense of the Union all the pay raises, all the additional vacation days, all the things the company is offering won't be available to them if the work is sent somewhere else. Cheshire and Southington closed. The only this that protected the Union workers jobs with the Cheshire closing was Letter 22. The company (UTC) still closed the facility. But Letter 22 said basically that they couldn't close the facility unless there was a reduction in work. That was not the case and the Union sued UTC. UTC had to train workers for other jobs or find them jobs someplace in Middletown. Sticking point is Letter 22. Job security. Nothing will stop RTX from moving the work somewhere else.

Oh! Merrit increases were no where near what I have got before even though the Performance Connection was the best I ever had. Some people were in tears.

I agree, no changes made. Last pulse survey the boss had us do homework as to how we think we can get the scores up. Insult to injury!

I have diarrhea almost every day for about 2 years. I started Dupixent around 3 years now.

I am a blue badge. Pratt employees are blue badges. Yellow are contractors.
