I’m a former 3Mer with nearly 20 years experience with roles in lab and commercial for a few businesses. 2008-2009 was tough, but understandable. At that point I felt that there was fat to cut, and the cuts seemed targeted at reducing that fat. The... — read more
Happy Holidays!
This is a great time to think of all the people who lost their jobs and those struggling to stay working at what was once a great American company. Also time for the Executive Committee and all the Steering Committees to reflect on all thousands of... — read more
I've started looking for a way out
I've been applying to any job that's within my qualifications/interest for about ten days and so far I have gotten no responses. Is this normal? It's been a while since I last applied for a job and I can see things have changed significantly. Still... — read more

3M Austin
Anyone else hear the rumor EMD rolls up into an industrial division and walks away from our long term lease here? The VP has definitely lost the locker room. Literally tumbleweeds on the floor. And if they say no, do we trust that?
Where's the Pivot?
Our leaders have determined that its very own employees are to blame for the state of the company. Our greedy leaders have time and time again denied funding to improve plant safety, this is a fact that can be proven. Today our executive leaders are... — read more
3M Spain
The situation in the subsidiary in Spain is horrendous, cold in the offices just to save on heating, a dirtier building because they have cut cleaning services, a building with the same carpet since it was inaugurated forty years ago, no possibility... — read more

Heard that UK benefits are getting cut. Anyone heard anything or experienced this at other locations in EMEA region?
Where Will 3M Be in 1 Year?
The company's dividend payout could be under threat. Management appears to be growing profit margins again as it restructures the company. 3M's end markets could improve in 2024, but it could get worse before it gets better. One thing is... — read more
CBG Town Hall
Scheduled today for tomorrow. Any idea the announcement?
Solventum, What?
Solventum sounds like a hemorrhoid cream.
Some observations
This page tends to have about 20 regular posters. At least half are former 3Mers, the rest are primarily upset current 3Mers. Meaning of the regular posters on here only 10 current 3Mers (from 80,000ish). On average a post has around 2000 views... — read more
ESC town hall video - tone def
Anyone notice how SVP of chem ops could not even say thank you to her team without reading notes. Same with SVP of business supply chain, reading from a script. They Can’t even make a recording sincere, no wonder employee surveys results were so... — read more
TLO Su-ks
This site is BS, they are clearly controlling the narratives!
It's really disheartening to see 3M crumble
All that untapped potential going down the drain, people having to endure so many hardships, and the whole greed factor - it's unfathomable. It's not just about the financial downfall, but the toll it's taking on us as employees. Witnessing it... — read more
West Med layoffs announced today
More layoffs announced in today's Townhall in West Med. Around 50 positions impacted, starting in 2024 Q2.
Lot of whiners here
I agree that 3M isn't perfect. It might even be on the way down. But to read the threads here, it's nothing but people who have left the company years ago complaining about how mean their boss was. I'm certain that not every manager at Mother M is... — read more
Promotions and Pensions
How much of a bump in pay can be expected with a promotion? What %? What is typical for worker bees? I know I'm beating a dead horse here but is there any sign of life around a pension decision for RemainCo or Solventum??? Major life decisions... — read more
Retaliation
Has no end at 3M. Seems they're finding any excuse to cover up their sh-t and get rid of more people at plants. Ethical is laughable at this corrupt, disgusting company. I'd be ashamed to sleep at night.
How would you rate the performance of your direct manager?
I'm curious to see if there are any competent managers left at 3M. I'd give mine a 2 on a 1-10 scale.
Quarterly connection forum
Seems they just started the quarterly connection forum, claiming to bring employees together. Free food as well! Anyone think this will be sustainable to engage the employees, or it will die a natural death?
How about a RemainCo update? Nevermind SolventCo
Can someone from Kearny Consultants please explain what's happening with RemainCo? RemainCo execs. do care enough to say. Thanks in advance.
Solventum (SpinCo is finally named)
U.S. industrial conglomerate 3M said on Thursday its independent healthcare business would be called Solventum following its spinoff. 3M disclosed plans to spin off its healthcare business into a listed company last year, in which the U.S. industrial... — read more

Momentum does not mean nimble
Something with high momentum is usually the opposite of nimble. It's a total facepalm that they proudly drew that false equivalency (momentum = swift/nimble) in the first couple sentences of the press release. They should consider a PR strategy... — read more
As the ship starts to take on water
I was offered a job with SpinCo about two months ago. It would have been working for someone that I really detest. Having just emerged from a 2-year abusive boss relationship last May, it really felt far too soon to go into another one of these... — read more
New Name
How much time did they spend to come up with this ridiculous name, Solventum ? Honestly, if this is the best name they can come up with, I fear for their future. Probably millions of dollars down the drain for a d-mb name.
SpinCo updates?
Any updates on SpinCo timelines and activities? It seems like it should have a name registered by now, but not familiar with when it would be needed. I heard recently that there is something called silent recruitment happening, which I’ve never... — read more
Hiring freeze
Is there a hiring freeze at 3M? We've been begging for several positions to be filled for nearly a year with no luck. I can't believe it's taking that long to find adequate candidates. Our manager always has one excuse or another for why those... — read more
3M isn't the place to build a future
When the big solution to all the problems is just handing out pink slips, you can't help but see how clueless and desperate the leadership is. My tip for everyone is to dust off your resume and start exploring new job options. I've already got the... — read more
