Just saw that the VP of MTDE will be leaving 3M, after less than a year in the job. IBO must really be a toxic hellhole to drive out someone at that level.

This guy has been in the job for over 5 quarters with no results, implemented one of the worse “strategies “ with a box that has plenty of dead inventory and costed ASD a lot of money and is still in the job. I wonder why 3M isn’t growing.

What was it?

The disconnect between leadership and reality would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating. After our department's MVP quit last month, you'd think someone might wonder why morale is in the toilet. But nope. We got same empty "we're a family" speeches... — read more 

Toxic behavior continues. No room for promoting good folks that have spent their careers at 3M.

OK, up until this quarter, I figured 3M’s demise was basically already decided by the board. It felt like the company was just being prepped to be chopped up. Even if there was some openness to trying to make it a high-functioning, long-term business... — read more

I just found out (from a Viva Engage post that was made yesterday) that IBO has moved to finance under the transmission management team. That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me (although, reporting up through CBG didn't make any sense... — read more 

IBO's chrome-domed leader just sent a message thanking us all for setting way more goals than everyone else. Because who the he-l needs to accomplish things when we have administrative BS to fill our time? Same reason we're being pushed to... — read more

Not another restructuring. Please stop the madness!

With Trumps latest global tariff, how will it impact OUS sales for 3M? Seems the stock is down 5% upon liberation day, and looks set to decline more. Thoughts?

Got a market adjustment, but staying at 98% MRP. Expected to go up to 99-100% this year, didn’t get any information about the MRP adjustment so far. Any insights?

I know it's probably too early to tell...anyone that was up for a raise/promotion or 2026 bonus...will those be impacted by the trade war between US and the world?

Sharing a few thoughts as the two-year anniversary of that little “mandatory” meeting approaches. I spent well over a decade at 3M and remain proud of what we built there. We did interesting research, created new products and worked with... — read more

What a joke. 7% If they can't reward my hard work and good results, why should I try to do better this year than I did last year? Time to perform to payment.

Will there be some sort of announcement next week? Seems like cuts, restructuring or ‘new strategic direction’ is often announced at these investor events.

There's a post about WFH that has some suspicious voting. Are there really that many people that want RTO, or is it trolls, or just HR astroturfing things?
