3M disappoints shareholders. 3M disappoints it’s employees. 3M disappoints it’s legacy. I used to think 3M would always be strong and I’ve had patience through bumpy times. But I’m not convinced 3M can get over this. “Hi 3M! Let me introduce you... — read more 

I wonder when the Euro works council will approve the restructuring plan and the lay offs begin in Europe. 4000 to come out …

Meanwhile the workers are being layoff due to poor leadership decisions

Monish will make a great ceo. Happy times are here again!

Trying to imagine the thinking that went on in the room when leadership decided to send out that Employee Opinion Survey that landed in inboxes this week. Just days (and in some cases minutes) after the bloodbath. “Hi! Let’s pretend we care.” — read more 

September 8, 2022 Update: We have a date for the 3M earplug lawsuit mediation. The two-day settlement talks begin next Thursday on September 15, 2022 at the U.S. District Court in Pensacola, Florida.

I'm wondering, has this leadership managed to completely destroy this company, or is there a way to undo at least some of the damage? I personally think we're too far gone. Even if you put the best people in charge (and we all know none of the best... — read more

3M is on the verge of economic collapse. The Chinese are going to step in and fill the void and Minnesota will no longer be the home of Mike Roman. You better jump ship while you still can or you can ride to the bottom. Either way, hope is not a... — read more 

Will severance be cut or reduced if the spiral continues? Will those of us who are loyal end up getting 4 weeks for example after 20 years since we have no cash?

I remember when 3m shares were lagging in the late 1990s, post imation, that local papers were running stories about "what is going so wrong at 3m?" Seemed like Desi was over his head, only to lead to GE McNerney, who inflicted forced ranking and six... — read more 

Did they answer anything? No questions posted. Mike addresses layoffs, but blames “the business” even though all business or functions told by corporate to reduce. I guess he is not running the place after all, but someone called “the businesses”... — read more

If you are young or if you have any skills my advice is to leave 3M and never look back.
