Face it, you get your check (so far) and what "benefits" they still allow. What's the problem? Having dealt with IBM, GE, and Honeywell over the years, some of these 3M folks are clueless. Pensions were gone from those places 30 years ago. The worst... — read more 

I am coming up on nearly 30 years with this company. It used to be great, the first five years were good, learning new skills and being offered courses for advancement and monthly chats with a personnel officer. The next 25 years were just a hump on... — read more

Because they don’t care about productivity, efficiency, collaboration, or the actual results of RTO. What they care about is pushing people to quit. Every RTO rollout, in every company, has always been about attrition first. RTO has been around long... — read more 

Wow, sure looks like we're ready for RTO!

Any 3M people here knows what is the above model? Is it like Advance 3M 2.0?

RTO? I’m in. But, give us office space. Give us reliable internet/infrastructure. Have a plan, share it, THEN have RTO. So far, nobody seems to know the plan at senior leadership levels, and many already expect chaos and delays. Happy to be in... — read more

I guess it’s time to start looking for another job.

Stop throwing your toys out the pram and grow up.

Way too little actual work getting done. We need to get rid of people who just meeting-surf all day and contribute exactly zero to the bottom line.

Revoking “Work Your Way” is a pi-s poor, short-sighted decision that reeks of control over competence. For a company that talks a big game about innovation and trust, this move exposes how out of touch leadership—especially Bill Brown—really... — read more 

The guy got rid of Moni Moni, Tireman, and some other losers. He dragged out RTO far longer than most other big companies, including any in the Twin Cities. Compensation is great and he's willing to pay for performance. He knows what his job is -... — read more

Now that we are all being forced back to the office, any interest in a badging service? $100 a month?

We all know that 3M isn't actually prepared for RTO. Because we're not actually going back into the office. The RTO announcement is to encourage people to quit. Bill hates the idea of paying severance when he can just make your job so unspeaking... — read more

For those in IT or if you're working in a business division that's affected, what are your thoughts on the current IT Change Freeze? Do you think it's needed and is it being communicated effectively? Curious on what everyone is thinking rn.

With mass no lay off plans is it time to close this thread? Yes - I know the layed off bommers will cry, & I know those who can’t get a job elsewhere will remain disgruntled. But am genuinely wondering as this forum run its course?

I am a newer 3M and can't help but notice that the T6_T7 group are an elite brunch. Being comparetively new to 3M, I am not able to judge their technical skills or accomplishments. I understand that they made $$$ for 3M to get to that rank, but how... — read more 

Just curious where this economy is heading and if we will see hiring or layoffs? Are US plants actually expanding? Is business coming back from China? Bill Brown said we will start feeling the tariff impact in H2.
