SPECIFICS give me specifics
I don’t care about the fluff just give me the specifics- am I safe or not? Jeff L and karrie i don’t care how you FEEL about letting people go while making millions.
Who makes the call?
If your one of the 6000, who calls to tell you? Is there an HR team making the calls (that job must suck), or do we hear from supervisor or division leaders?

How much longer before 3M becomes Kodak
Kodak went from having amazing products and excellent employee benefits until it went of course in the late 1980s. The early and mid 1990s were filled with an endless string of layoffs in the thousands, often two or three a year. Is this company far... — read more
70% of corporate fluff vs 30% of actual work
Yes, all level managers, do your jobs! The bottom feeders will deliver once you stop validating your importance and stop the internal politics!
Use your power as a shareholder and vote
With the lack of trust in executive leadership, we have the ability to all come together to send a message through our votes. While each of us may only own so many shares of 3M stock, now is the best time to exercise the right as a shareholder and... — read more
Can we stop applauding our "leaders" in the town hall meetings
I wonder why we applaud them and clap our hands in these town hall meetings. Senior Management have zero ethics, accountibility, or respect. Can we stop applauding them in future town hall meetings to send a symbolic message from the commoners in... — read more
Which was more cringable
CEO huddle or CTO huddle? Both seemed clueless, giving non answers to almost every question asked.
Wall Street has caught on with the labs

Which senior leaders have left this year?
Rumor is that Hammes is retiring. Has Tireman Gibbons left or is his still flying around preaching "the only fixed cost is depreciation" Hard to believe any company could be this poorly run and no one is forced out nor resigns.
CEO HUDDLE - he seems nervous
cannot even answer question directly Trust the process!!
What a joke!!
What a disgrace 3M has become. There is nothing in the news positive they do anymore...layoff after layoff after layoff and lawsuits. I can not believe what a joke this company has become since the take over of MR. I am beyond grateful I made the... — read more
Shareholders, don’t be fooled

Is job security gone forever?
Layoffs always existed at 3M, but at least we knew once a round was done we were safe for the foreseeable future. That's no longer true. Now I feel like we are worried about layoffs 24/7, and as soon as one round is done we start speculating about... — read more
Predictions for tomorrow's earning's call??
Obviously we are all hearing there could be massive layoff's announced tomorrow. Anyone have any insight into the specific teams/groups that are likely to be hit?
Any substantial info for the earnings call?
There's so much talk of what might be announced tomorrow...from 10k-15k job cuts, to restructuring, to cutting plant spending, to new Spinco name/leadership...etc etc. Anyone have any actual knowledge of what might be the topic tomorrow?
Layoffs to end at 60,000
The ultimate goal is to reduce headcount to 60,000. Lots of folk’s hanging on, complaining, but gripped by fear, they stay on. Like Bed, Bath, and Beyond, 3M will ultimately be forced to file bankruptcy.
May the force be with you !
Everyone is expecting a big announcement on Tuesday now. Significant job losses, huge restructuring. I think (hope!) rather than a random number we will actually get some substance behind it to see where that number is coming from …but this post... — read more
