We now have one of 3M’s largest investors trying to oust Roman which the board clearly doesn’t care about. Is there anything employees can do? Create a petition? It’s so sad to see what’s happening to this company! :(

Since it appears that our employees are too expensive I hope our sports sponsorships are okay. God forfend that our multi-million dollar execs cut back on sponsorships.

Vale stated that the hiring freeze for sales could be permanent . Many are covering what was once covered by 2 or 3 people. How can sibg grow if reps are extended on coverage? (Sibg will be 60 something percent of the company once spinco is... — read more

What is your reaction to Mike Vale's townhall? I have to admit that he is refreshingly articulate, as compared to the typical messaging we hear from M&M. However, I don't work within SIBG, so don't have as good of an understanding of the details of... — read more 

FIRE ROMAN! FIRE MONISH! FIRE LAVERS!!!

I was expecting them to announce 3M Healthcare as the new name. But now I’m not so sure. Perhaps the 3M brand is becoming toxic (excuse the pun) with the PFAS and Aereo lawsuits. Maybe they should have a whole new name? Or maybe they will be... — read more
