AlliedSignal / Honewell, right? I know lots of former employees of that company. There were lots of interesting games played....like RIFing a bunch of people right before the end of the year to make their numbers, then re-hiring them back in January.
A lady engineer I know who worked there used to have to get sign-off on various design changes like oil line routing. If she didn't show up in a skirt the lead engineer (a former Garrett employee) wouldn't sign off on it.
Sounds like good times...
Thom, yours is not the only tech company that adopts a "forced bell curve" to the review process. It's utterly maddening. And let's not discuss the "under-represented minorities" who require 3x the documentation to HR any time a performance issue arises.
