Topics regarding layoffs at 3M

The best way to get employees to stop caring

Everything always stays the same. There’s no progress, no efficiency, no spark of improvement. Then add constant whispers of layoffs, miserable raises, useless bonuses, and a forced return to the office, and you get a perfect storm for making people... — read more

Why aren’t more people leaving?

Life’s too short to stick around in a place this bad. Most people here seem miserable, yet hardly anyone’s leaving. What gives? Is it some kind of workplace Stockholm Syndrome? Because I don’t get it. Just so we’re clear, I’m out of here the moment I... — read more 

Challenging 2025

It's only Dec and all the ESC leadership and scrambling to ask the plants to cut OE within 4 walls. That's the issue with lack of growth. You cannot cut yourself to prosperity

Don’t show up your boss

If you want to keep your job, never do anything that might make your boss feel like you are smarter than him or her. I've never encountered anyone more full of themselves than my current manager. If you're not good at making your boss feel proud and... — read more

Don't try too hard

Anyone who is silly enough to bust their butt after another round of layoffs to make up for the work left behind by your former teammates is silly enough to get whacked the week before Christmas. Do your 40 hours. Period. If people refuse to play... — read more

Bed behavior is rewarded instead of punished

It feels so demoralizing when bad behavior such as stealing credit for others' work or getting things done by bullying your direct reports gets rewarded. How is that helping the company? It just seems like it's encouraging more negativity. It’s... — read more

Have the advancement avenues always been this narrow?

I’ve been with 3M for four years now, and it seems to me that options for advancement or longer term career build-up are barely there or straight non-existent. I don’t necessarily want to spend years here, but everyone wants to have something to show... — read more 

Time to form a union?

This is the 5th round of layoffs in just a year. They have cut our benefits, raises, and wages. Maybe it's time... would anyone be willing to help if some of us started the process?

New Solventum Layoff Page

Sorry to hear so many Solventum employees have been let go. Solventum now has proven to be no better than 3M and has earned its own Layoff.com page. Solventum employees/ex-employees may want to start using that page. ... — read more

Middle managers

How many middle managers can 3M get rid of without anybody feeling their loss? I think about 50 percent at least, and probably much more. If we're looking to reduce our operating costs, that's where the leadership should look for the next round of... — read more 

If you survive the layoffs...

Remember that they fired people right before Christmas. Never go above and beyond again. Never put in extra work.

Solventum Layoffs

Has anyone heard of layoffs going on across the organization? I know they sent out a video saying there would be layoffs, but I'm not sure if it has happened yet.

Solventum layoffs coming

Solventum notified employees via video that layoffs are happening. People have one on one meetings scheduled throughout the day. If you have friends or former coworkers there reach out and offer support.

I am an upcoming new employee

I just accepted an offer from 3M and this thread makes me really sad because so many people are complaining. Everyone wants different things and we all want money or it wouldn't be called employment. In the end, there's a saying: "what's your... — read more 

Your performance doesn’t matter

If layoffs have taught us anything, it's that how good you are at or dedicated to your job doesn't matter. Being an experienced and skilled employee and a good performer is probably more of a burden. Good employees are costly, that’s the bottom line... — read more

Bill is talking about rolling back DEI.

Are All Factories this Bad?

Curious if all US 3M factories are this bad or is 3M Clinton unique? Our turnover amongst both the hourly and salaried staff seems really high. On the hourly front, I’ve heard turnover has been 40% the past 2 years and is on track to be above 50% in... — read more

Stuck in the grind

I used to love my job, I felt like it mattered. It gave me a true sense of purpose, and I actually enjoyed what I did. Now, it’s mostly just busy work. With each layoff, I brace myself, kind of hoping it’ll be my turn, but somehow I keep hanging on... — read more

Mark Murphy - one of the best CIO’s? Hardly

I’m literally laughing out loud right now to see that Mark Murphy is on the Forbes CIO next list. The call out: In the three years Mark Murphy has served as the Chief Information and Digital Officer for 3M, he’s both moved over 92% of the company’s... — read more

I am depressed.

I'm feeling increasingly overwhelmed by the constant challenges at 3M. Despite my qualifications and successes, I'm finding it difficult to stay motivated in such a stressful and uncertain work environment. The recent series of setbacks, including... — read more 

Morale is down the toilet

I’m depressed just at the thought of coming into work. Almost everyone around me is in the same boat. What’s the point of having a workforce that’s all down? If we have been made to be invested in a company, productivity and morale would go up. When... — read more 

Yet another Org change

Looks like things are still the same

I left a year ago for a new opportunity, but every now and then, I stop by this forum to see how things are going. It’s a weird little habit, mostly just to reassure myself that leaving was the right call. You know how sometimes you wonder if you... — read more

3M RTO and the real issue

RTO shouldn’t be the top concern for most employees. I think most reasonable 3M employees would accept a balanced return to office if it wasn’t for longtime patterns of mistreatment of people who do real work each day. RTO is simply icing on the cake... — read more
