Bad strategy
If the company's plan is to exert pressure on employees in order to make them quit on their own and save on severance pay, then I think that's a terrible strategy... Micromanaging and overwhelming people won't bring any of the results they are... — read more

CEO Huddle
Anything new shared today?
3M Open (golf tournament) posts feel so dystopian to me. 10K people lost jobs but here we are gloating at multi million golf tournament. SMH
Should have cancelled it and not rub it in the face of everyone who got laid off. Especially people that couldn't attend anyways (plant folk). So detached from moral reality.

Management Call Out
Since HR su-ks at 3M and doesn't listen to employees. Without saying names post the location, title, and why they su-k so we can get some real changes to problems. I'm sure the board listens or gets feedback here.
