It hasn't been announced yet, but the writing is on the wall. I'm not sad to see him go; he's a terrible leader and generally incompetent, but now we're likely to report to his self-serving lackey. Out of the frying pan, into a similar frying... — read more 

Can confirm the Detroit plant received shut down notice. Any other plants?

I'm curious what the most outrageous thing is to happen to you or that you experienced at 3M?

Pretty clear Bill only cares about share price. He gets a question about ICE and he just waffles and rambles about how we need to be calm. He gets a question about culture and he barfs out a word salad about safety.

What's happening with TEBG? Heard of a re-org for the marketers. Does this mean layoffs/restructure?

Welcome to 3M

Looks like getting beaten down

There was some talk about February, if I remember correctly, has there been any more mentions of that?

Hearing of several one-off layoffs. One person in a department vanishes. ESC. Seems like a week ago was a layoff week. Labs are adding people, ESC is tossing people. Discouraging. Frustrating. What are other people hearing? I can count 5 in... — read more 

Got my fkn 2 and tons of BS from my manager. Post your result if you want

I've heard from several corp. colleagues that this movo company has been contracted by 3M. Here's the website: https://movo.co/ If so, this would mean all trust is gone. Can someone comment if this is true?

Springfield just voted to unionize with USW. Congratulations to everyone there, I hope the other non-union plants soon follow suit.

The veep of corporate environment and his analyst are certified donkeys. Operations and maintenance now have one standard for safety while lab personnel have another. The double standard is bad enough but the actual standard is stupid as well. This... — read more 

Any rough ideas on AIP this year? with tariffs dominating the profit margin but still had profits curious if AIP will be good this year or if they'll dip it with taxes to blame.

Lately, it’s like I’m being pushed out without anyone saying it outright. Whenever I ask questions about a process, I get shut down and told to just figure it out. I’m not given the same time to learn new tasks as others, and when I flagged a... — read more 

Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential 3M layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Perhaps the final coup de grace from the (fall of the) Roman Empire. Mikey got rid of a beloved retreat. BB must need the money for more share buy backs. At least the guy who bought it seems to love vacationing in northern Minnesota. It would... — read more 

Please give the money to charity in the future instead of insulting your employees who have delivered everything for the company.

After a lot of thinking, I've accepted an offer from a new company. It was tough, but the layoffs and lack of any real path forward here made the choice clearer. I'm really looking forward to a fresh start where I can actually focus on doing good... — read more 

How is the "new & improved" rating process going for my fellow managers? Nothing like robbing Peter to pay Paul. How is this not a process filled with managers playing favorites? It is the most subjective process ever, and the end result will be a... — read more 

Has anyone actually heard from leadership (your boss, VPs, Presidents, etc) about the VoE survey at all? They published a high-level review of the results and promised to talk about it with us, and here we are months later without a single word... — read more 

Did anybody realize last week's layoffs were coming? For me, it completely came out of the blue. Now I'm even more nervous that it can happen any day without warning, and it's not helping my mental health at all.

Town hall this morning announced that we're going to combine IBO and the GSCs, and that we will eliminate some redundancies. Buckle up, it's time for another round of musical chairs aboard the RMS Titanic.

The fanatical obsession with meeting next quarter's numbers to mollify Wall Street is diametrically opposed to being a strong innovation company. The linkage between end customers and CRL and Divisions was very strong for decades. It covered all... — read more 

After the most recent planning town hall, I’ve never felt more unmotivated working for 3M. SVP of planning is woefully under-qualified to be leading this global organization. The future is NOT bright at 3M with him in charge.

Hearing Friday will be some layoffs. Anyone else?

Learning about AI cameras from VIVA Engage. Does your plant have them? What do they do?

3M has been one of the biggest examples of nepotism and favoritism in terms of career growth i have ever seen. How many cases are there of a vp’s nephew getting regular promotions or an execs son or family member becoming a vp? Too many to count!

Hopefully to lighten the mood for some this evening while they enjoy an IPA or wine (or even scotch, Peter since we know you come back here often). The record Halloween blizzard hit Minnesota inundating Twin Cities and Duluth both over 2 feet of... — read more 

I've been at 3M for a little over a year now. I work in division but I came from a very technical background so I do some of the work that CRSL people do. However, I do not have a PhD and in some of my interactions, I distinctly feel that some of... — read more 

Decatur employees were notified that the Chemical plant there is closing. Think this is about 300-400 jobs impacted. Between Cordova and Decatur there was a lot of extra capacity with PFAS going away

It’s been a few months since the last one and the holidays are coming. Wait they did shake up a few of the incompetent last week!

I'm sure many on here are mad about the way BB is managing the company. I am a former exec, retired on good terms after VP/GM of quite a few businesses in all business segments. Obviously external perspective he is doing things well, as proven by... — read more 

This guy is the best CEO since McKnight. 3M is humming along under his brilliant leadership. Huge earnings. Morale higher than ever. Lazy people are leaving. What's not to love here. Now get back to work you quiet quitting clowns.

anyone know anything on the the company’s side of this contract? “Last & Final” was just voted down.

Any word on if she was pushed out? I am assuming so based on the four sub groups now reporting to other people, and no mention of backfilling

No new ideas so let's just keep flip-doing back and forth on things that don't matter. I'm sure there are gonna be a bunch of 2s given out, though, to send the message that Bill Brown thinks you su-k but we're not ready to fire you just yet.

I’ve noticed how 3M is moving more into high-tech areas like advanced materials, semiconductors, and healthcare innovation. It makes me wonder if some of our older divisions are starting to lose relevance. From my point of view, a few areas that... — read more
