Is it worth staying through year end for the bonus this year? I'm seeing mixed views on expected payout vs target. Do you get a payout if you are on payroll as of 12/31, so leaving in January would be OK?

Could someone from management please let us know what the plans are for the three GSCs? At this point, we don't care anymore lol, we just want some clarity on whether layoffs are coming and, if so, when so we can prepare accordingly.

I wish somebody had warned me about this before I joined. I came here with hope and now I'm desperate and looking for any way out or I'll stay stuck in the same position forever. 3M is a horrible employer.

Quarter 4 looks extremely shaky now. Sales outlook dropping like a rock. Looks like the annual year end restructuring exercise is coming up again. Sit tight.

TEBG is constantly restructuring. It feels like no one can make up their minds on how to function. How long will the games continue? The morale can't get any lower than this.

We've had the worst now the best ! A bit of positivity . The only one for me is probably BG president SIBG CG. Seems to actually know whats going on in biz and doesn't look like he has a huge ego

Complain and stay miserable. Grind and get nothing. Build skills and leave. Choose wisely.

I've been at 3M for a few months and the culture seems toxic beyond anything I had expected. A heavy-handed top-down style, micromanagement to the extreme, little or no autonomy even for managerial roles, no real sense of direction or strategy... — read more

Good job by BB& his team!

Most of the laid off folks are coincidentally in the above 50 age bracket, right? People who earned higher pay through knowledge and experience and are now paying for it with their jobs? Am I wrong?

Does anyone have any idea what will happen to our GSC PH colleagues over the next few months?

Can anybody confirm?
