Anyone else hearing rumblings of RTO five days a week? If true, 3M is returning to the Stone Age and this is BB attempt at getting more people to quit. What a joke.

What we should expect regarding AI? Any insights?

Hello, how is the culture at these locations? How does pay compare for the local cost of living? Any of these sites union? Have seen fairly frequent job postings both internal and external the last few years with positions I could qualify for. Would... — read more 

What's the word on layoffs for next month? I feel like I might have missed something.

Going to happen 7/21. Any insights up or down?

3M leadership, listen up. You’ve let go most of the experienced, knowledgeable employees who built this company, stripping away decades of institutional know-how. You’re bringing in outsiders for top leadership roles while longtime insiders get... — read more 

Does anyone know what the typical value of RSU grants are once you hit JG14 and then 15, 16, and 17? I’ve heard $25k annual grants starting at JG14 but unsure if that’s correct? Thanks for the insight!

We're all well aware of what's coming. It's an open secret with a thousand rumors that management has done nothing to dispel. Cognizant is here to help. Cognizant just needs to learn your job so they can take over the boring day to day stuff and... — read more 

Most of the laid off folks are coincidentally in the above 50 age bracket, right? People who earned higher pay through knowledge and experience and are now paying for it with their jobs? Am I wrong?

Does anyone have any idea what will happen to our GSC PH colleagues over the next few months?

Can anybody confirm?

I’ll probably be in the minority, but I think Bill Brown is exactly the leader 3M needed. He came in with a plan, had the courage to make the tough decisions, and is executing it without wavering. That isn’t easy, and it certainly isn’t... — read more 

I am part of the BT LEX team in US and got notified today. Any others?

Does anybody know what the announcement is for GSC Costa Rica tomorrow? Many jobs are moving to Genpact per announcement in June. Is this a phase two for more jobs going to Genpact? Is this restructure? What is happening with these days? Anyone here... — read more

The worst decision of my career.

Putting in my two week notice on Monday. I can't take it anymore.

I am based out of St. Paul location in BT business team and was just notified an hour ago. Been with the company for 30 years. They offered 1.5 weeks pay with 26 weeks cap. Any others got notified today?

With all the restructurings, layoffs, people leaving on their own, we've lost all the knowledgeable managers who cared about both their people and the company (and yes, it's possible). The ones we have left should be shown the door immediately and 3M... — read more 

There's something I've noticed: a meeting starts, someone kicks it off with the generic "How's it going?", and the response is a crestfallen look, a deep breath, and "it's fine." Nobody is okay anymore. Nobody is happy. Nobody is getting anything... — read more 

Respect and trust are things that are earned, not assumed nor entitled. As such inept managers and above are not respected nor trusted as they have not earned it. Put another way.... nothing good ever comes in the absence of trust. Without it... — read more

Congratulations to BB and his team for doing a great work. Wall Street seems to like what they are seeing. Enjoy the rise in tide in the shares.

This has to be a new record and 3M Management deserves some kind of reward! So basically it's been just a few days since 75% of the GSC in Poland was informed that they're going to Genpact and the remaining 25% are being moved to a different 3M... — read more 

I don't get it. Just telling someone to do their work is now seen as aggressive. If you're not constantly praising people, you're being too critical. It's gotten ridiculous.

But I'd rather know now if I'm going to be show the door than wait and stress for months. Just expecting layoffs all the time is making me miserable.

In the name of all that is holy, why is IT Leadership allocating scarce resources (headcount and salary & benefits) to fund this ITBM team? As you might guess this team is part of Strategy & Services department. The people in these positions do not... — read more

Hey, but on the upside share price is doing just fine, giddy up!

Two to three months until they think Cognizant will be ready to start taking over activities in Digital, and we should expect some roles to be displaced. "Some of it will be a bummer," says RK.

More good years ahead Jun 13 >> Happy anniversary 3M

I hate what's being done to it. I used to be proud working here. Not anymore.

How are they laying is so many people without notice?

Just the bottom line. We're treated as items and the company as a carcass.

Because that always worked out for others, right? Id--ts. We're being "led" by id--ts.
