Another article questioning the so-called leadership

From the Harvard Business Review: Are you working for the right organization? Make sure you don’t passively ride downhill with an organization in trouble. Here are seven signs that should concern you: A merger, acquisition, or change of control... — read more

I don't know many people who would be too disappointed if they were to be laid off with severance. Most of us are done with 3M and want to leave. Most of us wouldn't mind being paid for it. I can't see the downside to it. They have abused us long... — read more 

Yes, they do it on their own timing with every layoff. In 2019, they announced 2,000 in April and notified employee at the center in July, a full three months after the announcement and just days before the next earnings call so MR could say we have... — read more 

We joked that weatherman was the only job that you could be wrong so often and cost people time and money and still keep your job. We now get to add CEO of a Dow 30 company to that list.

Get ready for more layoffs and reductions throughout the year as they try to achieve the 3 to 1 ratio business model. I don’t know how 3M will survive.

3M's Corporate Operating Committee (COC) cannot grow the company and it is entirely their own fault. I charge them collectively and individually with incompetence and malfeasance. The executive excuses are not valid and should be ignored wholesale... — read more 

or does the leadership here not know how to grow this company?

still waiting for details on how 3M Decatur will be affected by lay off. Stay classy 3M, why make a big announcement then have your employees guess as to what might be their fate for 2 months?

Clearly the board is asleep at the wheel, but surely they must realize this isn't working out 5 years in?

Interesting how slow they’re moving

Make sure to check out the new article on our flailing company!! So much winning

Interesting news on the organisation and management this month

A little birdy told me it might be a good time to start looking at schools near… Oklahoma City. Great work tire man!!

My source tells me Tireman was promised a CEO position in a 3M spin when hired. He's getting his ducks in a row to set up his company after M & M split to healthcare.

if you can realize that quiet quitting is the way forward and you can ignore to a point your narcisstic line manager, then hang in there, I actually enjoy listening and reading about the pompous execs and EO managers, i must say this site has cheered... — read more 

It boggles my mind that this clown is in charge. Just look at his public resume. He was in charge of both of two devisions at GE, transportation and lighting. GE lighting has been around since Edison, Monish saw to that being sold to savant systems... — read more 

I made a big mistake when I applied here but I hoped that this year would be better than the previous one. For those who have been here longer than me - is this one of the worst years in this company?

I think the delay in any substantive announcements on the HC spin, is they are re-evaluating it in light of the business fundamentals and market conditions. I think they will have to disclose that this is not really a HC business but a slow growth... — read more 

Fire all these clowns at the top that have almost ruined a once great company. Get back to your roots… Innovation and manufacturing excellence.

Given that morale is on the floor, it is not surprising that there are more and more people who decide to do only the bare minimum. I think the ratio is maybe 2 hard workers versus 8 of those who no longer care whether they will keep or lose their... — read more 

It’s performance review time! Thank you 💯% for making me look good! I go to the office everyday, so engagement was off the charts. Got a 2% raise with a blue collar “3” rating, which my supervisor said would have been a 3.8 if fractions were... — read more 

You're welcome.

Individual plants used to be owned by one division. While that plant might make products for many divisions, only one owned it and was in charge. This gave the plant a clear chain of command for decision making. In A3M plants were now owned by LVS... — read more 

Anyone fully understands how this new organization will be improved from earlier Advanced 3M structure?

I'm just wondering how many layoffs happen that haven't been announced, which seem to be happening behind the scenes, as some write here.

https://fortune.com/company/3m/ Good thing 3M pays to make this list. Reality just doesn’t represent this.

Censorship on this site begs the question “if 3M can censor you, how do you know they can’t track you?” We really don’t know how much influence they have but for some reason entire communication threads disappear for unknown reasons. If you are a... — read more 

Someone should ask HR to come to this website.

I often get the feeling that this company has become a lost cause and that it is too late for changes that would put it back on track. Perhaps I'm overly pessimistic, but unfortunately, that's how it seems to me now. Anyone still has hope that... — read more 

Sups came in early. They are all over the hallways rounding up the doomed. Everyone looking grim.

3M financial performance has been significantly worse since he came. Why cannot the board and Roman realize that his recipe is not working, unless of course stock at a 10 year low is what they are looking for. As the WSJ article pointed, even without... — read more 

Simple, return to 3M's roots: Make premium products - if it can't at least arguably claim to be best in class, discontinue or private label it away from the 3M brand. R&D is a big part of this. Sell value - By this I mean actually have 3M sales... — read more
