3M was a mess, from top to bottom. Most of the time we had to guess what we were supposed to be doing because we were not given proper info, and our boss couldn't care less. Everything was awful, and it still gives me nightmares sometimes. I wouldn't... — read more

But there are less and less of us who do… Or am I wrong? People are frustrated by the constant bad moves of the leadership and even those who were most loyal no longer care about the future of this place.

Hearing rumors that lots of unwanted people are packed & packaged into this healthy business so that these “People Liability” are transferred to new Books and can be taken careOf i.e; DoNot Join if you have a choice. Else good luck.

After 32 years at 3M, I retired almost 5 years ago. Took the lump sum, moved my 401 to an investment firm and sold most of my 3M stock. My only tie to mother mining were options I held. Stock was at $250/share then and I mistakenly thought I would... — read more 

Ok so I escaped the sanitarium with a 93 number (one to spare over the sacred 92). Incredibly grateful for it. But I am just blown away how this company, especially YOU TIREMAN, has frickin' turned into something out of George Orwell 1984 room 101... — read more 

For decades when walking through our plant I would always pick up clutter or trash when walking by. Never would I leave it on the floor. For the first time, I just walked on by. I don’t care anymore. You win tireman. You have created a complete... — read more 

I am constantly tense because I don't know how much longer I will have a job here, and I am also disappointed because now I realize that all my efforts to have the best possible performance are probably in vain. If I got a solid offer, I wouldn't... — read more 

Why has there been so much turnover at the SVP level (direct reports to CFO) in the Finance Org? With exception to the Chief Accounting Officer, all SVPs are new! Two SVPs came from GE and stayed at 3M less than 6 months! Another SVP of Corp Dev... — read more

Years ago, when layoffs happened, most were assigned to a Monday or Tuesday to allow the person time to process things as well as give them time to work with an outplacement firm. Once upon a time it was Right Associates (nicknamed Wrong associates... — read more 

I went through 2008-2009 and truly felt the economy dealt us a bad hand. I knew that 3M was resilient and would weather the storm. This time around the clowns upstairs are blaming the economy but we all see through the lies now. This is not on the... — read more 

Why is Gibby asking for more reporting of site incidents? Is this increase spate of safety incidents, related to the massive layoffs that are affecting the workers morale?

I was laid off some weeks ago, I’m still within the 45 day period. I’m having a hard time coming to terms with some things and I wanted to get some opinions. I’m in my 30s. I was hired straight from undergrad. I was an intern and tech aide, so all... — read more 

Some I've heard already: 3M is going through a "historic transformation", sadly I regret to inform you that it doesn't include your position (told to LVS/MTE) TRUST ME, we've worked closely together for years but this isn't personal. But someone... — read more 

What's the next thing that's going to be sold off?

This site perfectly summarizes the problem with senior executives both at 3M and corporate America. They cheerfully operate by different rules and pay little attention to hypocrisy. Heads, they win. Tails, they win big. Compensation plans at the... — read more 

How many of VPs and SVPs do we have? How many more could we lose without it being felt at all in productivity?

Wee Pete (aka the Tireman) seems to have turned into the Fireman (unless we're talking about his bobblehead cronies they call him the Hireman). Funnels plenty of money to Kearney (his son) - almost like he's shuffling campaign contributions... — read more 

8500 jobs cut this year alone. Numerous critical jobs for continuous improvement such as MTE/LVS dumped to the landfill. Over 100 million wasted on Kearney. And the guy gets 4.4 million to implement this "strategy" As I post this, the man is... — read more 

Please help me to understand... Indeed, the market valuation of 3M decrease by -60% in the last 5 years. Mike Roman and the board team are still in the head of the company. In additional to that, his salary increased by +50% in 5 years from $10M to... — read more 

When I started at 3m 30 years ago many of our distributors solely traded in 3m products. Recently it seems they have all introduced other brands to their portfolios which compete against us. Is this a fair observation? If so I can’t understand... — read more

I guess before End June 23 My condolences to those who are still on GESPP. Even your 15% discount doesn't help.

From Tireman I'm delighted to announce another addition to my leadership team...blah blah.. Why cut the workers while keep adding leaders?

Everyone at 3M should know what's going to happen now. I have called it since day 1 of moonish. They are going to scrape and cut until there is just the bones of 3M, then they are going to sell off the parts. If you are in any sort of support role... — read more
