Topics regarding layoffs at 3M

Not proud of having 3M on my resume

The 3M name doesn’t carry the weight that we’ve been led to believe. They aren’t even Fortune 100 anymore. When I was interviewing externally, there wasn’t a single employer that acted impressed by having 3M on my resume. Combine the mediocre... — read more 

Spin Co

What is the latest, my experience is that radio silence is never a good thing

How is this fair?

It pi---s me off that management favorites can do nothing but hang around the office all day and they still never get affected by layoffs. They're dragging the entire company down because you know they're not going to voluntarily leave a place where... — read more

Market bull run

Market looks to be forming a bull run now. Just let go some more 3M GESPP shares. Good exit time in case it drops further when market pulls back.

I've had enough of this

I used to fear losing my job here, but the uncertainty and stress is only costing me my health and happiness. I'm probably not the only one who would accept a slightly worse paying job now just to not be here anymore?

Campus feels like a ghost town, except in 223

What options are there other than layoffs?

What are the ways in which 3M can save money that doesn't include laying off employees? I guess we can sell more stuff, but that does nothing for those who work in the sold segment. What else is there to do? I'm genuinely curious about this. Are... — read more
