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

Solventum will be different
Solventum just announces significant layoffs moving into holiday season. LOL
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

Solventum's board here
Just noticed that they have added a board for &solventum It's in the 'related companies' section on this board - it heads to: https://www.thelayoff.com/solventum Anyhow, here is the link /solventum
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
So sorry for Solventum people who have been impacted
I hope you all find better jobs soon.
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
I hate working here
That's it. That's all I wanted to say.
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

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
Get out and take your life back
I left and am so glad I did. Family and friends have noticed I’ve returned to my old happy self, and my new company is balanced on all fronts. Looking back, I’m very sorry I stayed for as long as I did and allowed 3M to impact me so negatively... — 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

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
