It’s here just to push out as many people as possible on the cheap. If I’m wrong, convince me otherwise. Give me one example of RTO actually improving collaboration, efficiency, morale, productivity, anything, really. All I’ve gained is more time... — read more

Question for the folks that are in the factories. Are you guys leadership team dysfunctional or is it just ours. Seems the left hand don’t or won’t talk to the right hand. Nobody knows what’s going on. Always running out of things. Just curious if... — read more 

Fascinating read touching on Polaris, Advance 3M, and other poor decision making: https://archive.ph/1w3Rs “Effectively, 3M became ‘a case study of everything not to do over a very long period of time’…”

Stupid idea in the first place. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce84e4egp38o

Who is really running things there? Why has neither HR or ethics and compliance team taken any action?

Why do they stop publishing the quarterly AIP estimates? Anyway they report quarterly earnings to Wall Street. Any reason for not telling its employees on quarterly basis AIP?

Why are SVPs and VPs demanding for bigger and bolder targets for 2026? So that they can get their bigger bonus and LTI options?

Various rumors that he has resurfaced but not in mn - has anyone heard about the new gig

Anyone else been witness to a bunch of shenanigans to pull sales forward into September to make Q3 numbers look good?

The office has become a shell. For those who have returned, it feels like working in a morgue — silence, no collaboration, no energy. At least at home people could put the radio on and feel some life around them. We tried free coffee for a week, but... — read more 

I don’t need to see the survey results, I want to see the actions and outcomes. It’s the same burnt out feedback as prior years but with less passion… so what’s the point? “Improve culture” and “improve moral” without improving (or even addressing)... — read more 

The culture is exhausting, to put it mildly, and priorities shift daily. Not to mention that it feels like no one actually cares if you succeed or just survive, as long as you keep doing more and more and even more. I can't find one good thing to say... — read more 

With Honeyman gone, some 3Mer's might be interested in the honeyman position. 3M leadership will go outside of 3M because 3Mers are viewed as incompetent, good worker bees but not leadership material. The longer you are at 3M, the less likely you... — read more 

RTO either has a lot of no shows, or 3M cut that many! Hearing some avoiding RTO because boss and co-workers are in other states or countries, so why RTO? For those that are in office, most are just on calls with global employees anyways. It makes... — read more 

Flimflam took his two favorites on the most brazen boondoggle to the uk to attend his daughter’s wedding. On 3M’s money!! Yes that just happened. His most favorite was stupid enough to paste it all over viva (now deleted) ironically the comments are... — read more 

Just wow. Speaks volumes about this company

Is it anonymous?

There are no places to sit. There was no thought put into this. Very disappointing

heard HR is going back to the 5-point performance rating system. Is that true?

My group is doing a small amount of hiring, but every time it's posted in Brazil, because we can pay them significantly less than we would have to pay an American. Funny how we need to RTO to collaborate, but then we continue to hire people in a... — read more 

The RTO mandate begins next week. I honestly thought I would be seeing more anger about it on here as the time got closer, but instead, the discussion about it has just kind of dried up. Has everyone just kind of quietly given up and accepted it? ... — read more 

Leadership seems completely focused on short-term gains, cutting costs wherever they can, and keeping stock prices up for the moment. Employees feel like replaceable parts, and it’s clear that long-term health of the company is an afterthought... — read more 

Bill Brown isn’t leading 3M for you, he’s leading it for himself. His $21M pay is wired to explode if the stock price climbs. That means every cut, every squeeze, every “efficiency” is just a stepping stone to his payday. To him, workers aren’t... — read more 

Never report anything internal to 3M. NEVER. 3M's hr, ethics hotline, and our leaders are all broken. If you report something inside of 3M, there will be a cover up, huge efforts to identify why the corporation is not liable . . . anything to make... — read more

Neogen - investor class action lawsuit for transitional operation difficulties? What will be the Solventum aftermath? 3M, Solventum……. anyone seeing transition going well? Another coverup to shield from investors? Confused……..just google

I’ve been at M3 long enough to remember when we were scrappy, focused, and actually proud of the work we did. We moved fast, took care of each other, and leadership had a clear sense of direction. That’s all faded over the years. Now it’s just... — read more 

I'm in IT, and one of our VPs has insisted on hiring a third party agency to do something that we were doing well. The third party agency is failing and it's obvious to everyone involved. The VP refuses to entertain any complaints, and demand that... — read more 

As someone in SIBG who works for a division, can someone explain what the he-l has happened to TEBG and CBG? No more divisions? Is there a way to talk about the different product/portfolio groups within each of those BGs or no?

I just saw a separate comment about this, so I’m curious - for those in global job roles that have early morning calls with Europe and evening calls with Asia 3Mers, who do most of your day-to-day work online, would you support a new union at 3M in... — read more 

Offer food and they will come!

Over the past year or so, I've watched as IT leadership refuses to take on any work and instead insists that we should have third party agencies handle it. I don't think it's a budgetary thing, because the agencies typically charge more than... — read more 

Now they want to sunset the culture behavior and replace with a totally new set. What will that help to achieve for the company?

Why are those who still work from home due to job or being out of the "Travel Distance" getting a 10% reduction in pay? One explanation was the people who are not RTOing don't need it for transportation costs? Does this even make sense?

Every leader people like is being pushed out. We are now left with an extremely toxic management team who wouldn’t hesitate to throw their people under the bus. The culture used to be a huge strength. It’s depressing to work here now.

New documentary on utube and aired on MN local (9) news today. Most of it I was aware of, so curious as to timing…. Does the state want more money…? https://www.fox9.com/video/1683595

Evidently the VP who vanished months ago is now suing 3M for racial and gender discrimination.

I've seen several comments here saying that BB's plan is to break up 3M into many smaller companies. What's the evidence for this? Has he or leadership ever spoken about this publicly?
