Somehow I still haven't lost hope that there could be some improvement here, but no matter whom I talk to, no one has much hope left. Why? Have you lost all faith in our leadership's judgments?
Severance Agreements
Anyone not signing the agreement today?
Hope things start looking up soon for 3M
As everyone knows, mother mining recently laid off about 10% of her workforce. I was, in fact, one of the casualties. I feel for my fellow 3M'ers who were recently let go. Now as a shareholder, that means 9000+ less employees on the books. Assuming... — read more

How did the visits to Aycliffe and Bangor go over the last few days ????
3M Health Care

Snakes in Suits when Psychopaths go to work - Recommended read for 3M employees
In this book you can see the similarities to Monish and PG. What makes Psychopaths intriguing is the fact they often are more effective in achieving their objectives than non-Psychopaths. Psychopathy is a debilitation of moral conscience (or just... — read more
Q2 Results
With only 2 days till quarter end (at time of posting), what is the feeling for the results, more heart ache and carnage from a so called leadership team? More "Trust the process"??
What's everyone doing with GESPP / employee stock?
I reduce my percentage of paycheck down to 3% a bit ago, but wondering if people are selling? Or not contributing any more at all?
No respect
Our entire dept doesn't respect supervisor because id--t. 3m is clueless of id--t. No hope for this company if blind eye.
Stockholm syndrome
That's the only thing I can think of as an explanation for why so many good people are still here.
Atherstone's closure turns into a blame game
Blame game was expected, but I'm more interested in whether anyone actually tried to prevent closure from happening? I doubt they did.
Don't try to improve your manager's behavior by changing yourself
I used to believe that being kind to bad people would somehow change them. I was wrong. Take my toxic manager, for instance. I went above and beyond, listened to his nonsense, and even did everything he asked, no matter how unreasonable it was. But... — read more

We haven't seen anything yet
Expect more turbulence in the future. Those who think we have hit rock bottom are in for a treat.
UK VP Visits
Bangor & Aycliffe confirmed for VP visits next week. Will this be further bad news for UK plants with what's happened to Atherstone yesterday?
Enough’s enough
18 years and I walked off the line today. Why? DEI hypocrisy. We have a new female plant manager who is a total bully. And I mean the petty, juvenile kind that makes everyone sick to be around. After weeks of unnecessary abuse, I finally had to... — read more

Ignorance or Intentional???
SpinCo Plants seem to not be immune to layoffs. Key players in the growth of new product lines getting their jobs eliminated at the worst time to support SpinCo growth. It’s either St Paul is so disconnected to the cuts they’re making that they don’t... — read more
3M Atherstone to close
12-15 month run down period.
New plant reporting structure
Anyone thinks the new plant reporting structure - force fit by BG... Will it works? Or is it going to be another mess that will need restructuring 2 years later? Somehow there is an elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about.
What's going on at Hutch
Seems everything there is chaos...
Life is better outside of 3M
I'm writing this only as advice to those who hesitate to leave here because they fear a new beginning. You are not alone, there are a lot of people who are actually afraid to start somewhere new. I've been through that myself, it was a hard... — read more
Stranger than fiction
I recently bumped into a gathering of former 3M “leaders” and was told “hey, when I find a new role, I’d consider hiring you.” I have a job, thanks though. It then dawned on me that the same self-absorbed narcissists that caused me to leave 3M are... — read more
Growth has long been out of focus
I get a bit nostalgic when I remember all the great people I used to work with. They have long left and moved to other companies. I can't recall exactly when it all went downhill here!? It is only clear that the company's growth has not been... — read more

What a legacy these execs will carry for all time
I wonder how it feels to be a current 3M executive, knowing that their contribution to society is to roll over and play done, and dismantle an iconic company. In the end, it will have been on their watch, listening to external consultants who have... — read more
Who could buy Spinco?
With the delays in announcing the CEO, business name and HQ location of Spinco it’s becoming more likely that Spinco is being shopped around for a buyer. My guess is that Spinco won’t be bought as an intact business, but split across several... — read more
How likely is bankruptcy?
I hope that it will not happen, but some here already talk about it as a very possible outcome of all the wrong moves made by the leadership.

why so much Noises around Remain-Co vs NewCo
Is the fear in New-Co Healthcare that don't exist now a real fear or creation by someone to address something else for whatever gains that perceived coming.
Yammer renamed to Viva Engage
Another initiative from Tireman? Does rename it helps to improve business?
