A 50 km radius (not commuting distance!) defines “near remote,” while 100 km defines “distant remote.” Our colleagues within a 90 km radius may have to commute 130 km twice a day or spend 4–6 hours daily in the car, depending on highway access and... — read more 

Bryan probably realized that 3M filtration business segment s.ucks

Is this information confirmed? I've heard this rumor many times, but none of the details seem reliable. If anyone knows anything for certain, please share. It's better to be prepared, I guess.

One of Bill Brown's priorities this year is to get that number under 55%. He's not going to do it by creating opportunity for advancement through promotion and new roles. He just wants us to stop complaining about the lack of opportunity at 3M. — read more 

Now that the “diversity hire” president of AASD has left 3M, who is in line to replace him? Will the the SVP of R&D from CBG be the next President of AASD. Lol 😂 … can’t mess it up even more

Ping-pong tables and free snacks are cool, but they don’t pay the bills. Hyping the “fun” factor without talking about salary or benefits, it’s a distraction tactic. Keep your eyes on the prize—real value.

yes here they come, Wee pete on his way as his plan has worked out perfectly, mess up the supply chain and make it look busy for orders Q1 and Q2 and then order SVP's to hit hard on OEE in plants and cut the under performers who are not hitting the... — read more 

I assume this role is the next step in building a team who plots our next major spins. Thoughts?

Apparently our beloved director has announced his intention to retire April 2nd. Who would be our next... — read more 

A 7am meeting was just scheduled titled “Update” by the SIBG SCVP. What’s the Update going to be?

Is there anywhere within the company that is ok to work with a decent culture? At this point, I don’t even need it to be enjoyable—just not toxic. My group is rough. Unrealistic expectations, low resources, no willingness to hear input. I’ve been at... — read more 

How many town halls do we have to endure where leaders get asked a pointed question about opportunity and career advancement only to completely dodge and waffle. They aren't answering because there is no opportunity. Things are not improving, and... — read more 

Great questions asking about employee retention and growth. A number of leaders answered the questions, but didn’t mention anything about retention or acknowledging employee value. Just evasive answers and plugging the SCA. Just say you value or... — read more 

Does anyone know when AIPs payout? I am pretty new, so this will be my first AIP at 3M

Does anyone remember these recognition programs: Pyramid of Excellence Award or 3M M&SCS - LSS Awards or Division Achievement Awards? Do any of these exist today and/or have they been replaced by other Corporate awards?

Look elsewhere for career.

This brought by Rep Biggs would absolutely devastate PSD's US business.

We don’t need DEI anymore! Zoe, That mexican in CBG, and the others can go! Plant Worker PS, i think we need more layoffs in corporate!!

Last year, the return on the US pension assets were only $99 million and pension payments were $823 million per 3M 10-K. At this rate, our pension will be in the 60% funded range in 3-4 years. Pension cash flows look unsustainable. Why would 3M HR... — read more 

Put in my two weeks notice and I was just wondering if I will still receive my AIP since it counts as last year's salary (right?).

Can anyone provide advice on how to manage the always growing number of overlapping meetings? Also, it seems the norm is to accept hundreds of unread emails each month and move on. Has it always been this way?

How is SAP implementation going? Still using PeopleSoft too? Must be wasteful and costly to run multiple systems. Must be nearing the 10 year mark. Is there another new completion date? Who’s accountable for this debacle? Are leaders being measured... — read more 

I do need the job and a paycheck and I want the stock price to rise to eke out every last bit of my LTIP before it gets shut off. I have my children’s education, medical bills, and care for my parents that I need to pay for. But I also want it all... — read more

Short email last Friday about abrupt leave of absence of another VP? What's up with that ?

Corporate 128.6% CBG 126.1% SIBG 120% TEBG 139.43%

Yesterday I saw a post and a number of comments related to 3M cost savings by cutting employees with pension plans before they get to 55. This morning those posts are gone. Why?

Pension Plan assets can be tapped for stock-buyback. So I think they are going to start firing anyone pension eligible right before they vest. Firing someone 6 months early can save the company a ton over time and would create opportunity for... — read more 

Bill Brown strongly alluded in today’s CEO call that he’s “bound” by the White House to abide by the executive order to dissolve 3M’s DEI program, but “make no mistake it doesn’t change who we are.” In fact it does because it says 3M is willing to... — read more 

It's going to be all about how we're moving to a new system if goal-setting. We should all choose SMART goals that ladder up through our org charts to align with bigger priorities.

Not looking for legal advice here, but has anyone recently witnessed or heard of 3M pursuing legal action for non compete violations? Specifically for employees on the business side and below director level. Additionally, has anyone heard of someone... — read more 

Has been a month since this initiative has been put on hold. Wondering if employees have stopped appreciating their colleagues for a job well done nowadays? Or people just don't care anymore?

“We’re watching it very, very carefully, but we have a lot of operational levers that we can pull,” Brown said in an interview. “We have a lot of factories in the U.S. and could bring some of that product back to the U.S.” Hopefully management holds... — read more 

How long they expected you stay after notice? No notice period req in employee agreement.

A few days ago, this post about BB, layoffs, morale, etc. was added to a very old post. Very relevant to today's 3M. History is repeating itself. === I worked at L3H and knew people with longer tenure (25+ years) who loved it there until this... — read more

I‘m OUS and in JG13, got confused with Manager titles. Is JG13 already considered as manager or is this from 14 and up? I might be wrong, but feels like that I’m „manager“ (based on my local 3M paperwork) but actual manager titles are JG14 and above... — read more 

What happened? Did he get axed for performance or did the PSD leader not like him since he was 3Mer?
