Billy has finally put his foot down. Employees in the TC area will soon be required to be in the office 3 days a week. How this will affect out-of-state FT employees? What about people that purposely move out of state or metro because of the 3M WFH... — read more
Can we start identifying posts from plants?
Seriously, the plant workers are constantly whining about how mean and abusive and retaliatory their bosses are, and complaining about how college grads don't know anything compared to the wise line operators, but many of us don't have anything in... — read more
BB I Urge You
To look at every single ethics complaint and injury at 3M. Review how many employees have been royally fkd by your company which is 100% of them. Be accountable and repair as many of them as you can and remove all the employees that protected the bad... — read more
Do you even need experience to be a manager here?
Does anyone else feel like 3M prefers to hire managers with no experience for some inexplicable reason? Every single time we get a new one - and that's been happening quite often lately - they have no idea what they're doing. Does the job posting... — read more

Grade, Salary and year guidance
Fellow members, I wanted your help to find out what is the salary-grade structure in 3M? I am a new JG 11 joinee of 8 months and was wondering how many years usually at each grade? what is the salary range by grade?
Return to office
Rumors are swirling about 3M taking away Work your Way. Anyone able to confirm management will take away yet another benefit?
The hidden abuse
I hate it here. If you question anything your manager does, you're not technically fired since they don't want to pay unemployment, but the stress, workload, and constant criticism will drive you out. All you're getting from that point on is pure... — read more
Steady stream of layoffs, look for increase toward year-end
A steady stream of job eliminations. Expect this to increase as we approach year-end. If you have experienced any of the following: • Toxic, uncivil, or harassing work environment • Retaliation • Working hours without pay (hourly... — read more

Layoffs in last quarter of 2024?
Was there still cuts to be carried out before year end? I seem to recall they still have an allotment for restructuring this year in the financials. There was insinuation of consolidation in the last earnings release, ie 110 plants formerly served... — read more
The result of all the layoffs in the past 2 years ...
3M stock near 52-week high. Sure, it is nowhere near its all-time high but Inge mortgaged the company to pay a high dividend and had billions in share repurchase to pump the share price up to ~$200 (adjusted for Solventum split). Roman... — read more
3M has lost its way
The BOD needs members who understand "Business", not gender theory. The CEO must re-evaluate and rebuild it's corporate HR department, this has long been a weak link for 3M. Eliminate all DEI positions immediately. 3M needs to have sure footing in... — read more
3M, Corteva, Chemours hit with class action over 'forever chemicals' in carpet
PFAS lawsuits endless. Continue to collect your salaries, just don't get caught in layoffs. Eventual bankruptcy for 3M but that will be 5-6 years out. This lawsuit covers anyone that bought carpet before 2020. Have an employment exit plan. 3M knew of... — read more
Investors seems to like the billion $ reduction in inventory
Looks like BB is pushing very hard for the deep inventory reductions. And is rewarded by the share price increases
Another great IT leader leaving!
Unbelievable that M Murphy is still around! Yet another one of the best IT leaders in 3M announced he was leaving today. All the talent that was developed as the next leaders has effectively left. Anyone that climbs the ranks and interacts with... — read more
Union.
Union, union, union, union, union, union. Agree?
How many top leaders have left in 2024?
Saw a few names already, some perhaps left before they could be fired. Others "pursued other opportunities" outside 3M - meaning fired but get a formal send-off. Other than Gibbons, who seems to have moved into the Right Hand Man of Brown spot, not... — read more
The Rush for solid state batteries

Anybody know?
Message To All Manufacturing Tuesday Morning
I see Peter Gibbons is doing a live event Tuesday morning and all 30,000 plus manufacturing employees have been invited. Does anyone have any insight what's coming down the pipe?
Why has HR made it impossible to find new jobs within 3M?
Have you looked at Workday recently? You can't search by job grade and you can't search by date posted. So if you want a new job at 3M, you have to sift through literally every job, looking for anything that might be at your next job grade but also... — read more
RTO
I thought I saw a post stating BB is going to mandate RTO but I do not see it now. I work in Legal and was hired just after the pandemic ended. I live out of state and work from home. Many other lawyers are also out of state. I know senior legal... — read more
Board of Directors are geniuses!
The board forced MR to retire, spun off Solventum and hired BB. The “old 3M” share price is now $140 and climbing. Both 3M and Solventum are gaining momentum going into the 2nd half of the year. Better days ahead!
Solventum HQ moving to Texas
Leaked internal sourcing memo says that the change is happening August 15. Prior town halls suggest that there will still be a large R&D presence in Minnesota.
It's the same playbook
BB talks a good game just like Mike Roman did about growing organic sales and introducing new products. The playbook he is using is the same. 3M blew over a billion dollars buying there own stock between March 31'st and July. He let Gibbons put the... — read more
More Restructure Operations Implied
Interesting comments. It flat out sends a message to the external market and to internal foundation that more significant restructuring is coming immediately. However it is short sighted. 3M has spend decades optimizing operations, and designing... — read more

What do you think of this CEO comment from earnings transcript
While our network of 110 factories and 95 distribution centers have historically served 3M well, it is incredibly complex and interconnected, with most SKUs we produce touching multiple factories before reaching the customer. For example, a command... — read more
Who else feels completely burnt out?

Netflix watch “dark waters” 3M PFOA
Series that brings to life 3M PFSO used at DuPont and devastating results for local farmers. Pass along to as many as you can.
What does good performance mean for us?
Can we expect a bit of peace and quiet? Better pay, benefits? My personal experience is whether the company is doing well or not, you as a worker are in peril anyway and will not reap the benefits but will always suffer the cost. I'm a newbie here... — read more
