How many of VPs and SVPs do we have? How many more could we lose without it being felt at all in productivity?
3M Hilden TSD impacted
90 positions to be eliminated in Hilden, Germany. Production to be consolidated in US and Singapore
Wee Pete the Tireman's greatest hits:
Wee Pete (aka the Tireman) seems to have turned into the Fireman (unless we're talking about his bobblehead cronies they call him the Hireman). Funnels plenty of money to Kearney (his son) - almost like he's shuffling campaign contributions... — read more
3Mers are tired or tireman
8500 jobs cut this year alone. Numerous critical jobs for continuous improvement such as MTE/LVS dumped to the landfill. Over 100 million wasted on Kearney. And the guy gets 4.4 million to implement this "strategy" As I post this, the man is... — read more
Why Mike Roman is still the CEO of 3M ?
Please help me to understand... Indeed, the market valuation of 3M decrease by -60% in the last 5 years. Mike Roman and the board team are still in the head of the company. In additional to that, his salary increased by +50% in 5 years from $10M to... — read more
Distributors introducing competition?
When I started at 3m 30 years ago many of our distributors solely traded in 3m products. Recently it seems they have all introduced other brands to their portfolios which compete against us. Is this a fair observation? If so I can’t understand... — read more

I guess before End June 23 My condolences to those who are still on GESPP. Even your 15% discount doesn't help.
Another announcement
From Tireman I'm delighted to announce another addition to my leadership team...blah blah.. Why cut the workers while keep adding leaders?
You all know what's going to happen
Everyone at 3M should know what's going to happen now. I have called it since day 1 of moonish. They are going to scrape and cut until there is just the bones of 3M, then they are going to sell off the parts. If you are in any sort of support role... — read more
Bloody week. Has Mikey or tireman even made an appearance?
Another sign of a loser leader is either disappearing and letting minions dish out the cr-p, or making a trite appearance with canned notes and no Q&A, or worse yet canned questions from the clapping seals. Vale at least would be out with his "I... — read more

Case study company
Those who have spent here much longer than I have find it hard to believe that today this company has hit rock bottom. This could be a company for case study on how not to manage business, because a few years ago no one could've even imagined... — read more
borrowed
The cuts in MTE tell me three things. Tireman has no stinking idea how manufacturing works. His last gig there was probably 1990s at ICI. the company is going to be broken up into many pieces and wants to be so bare bones that someone might acquire... — read more
Do I have to participate ?
I got notified yesterday morning and my boss has set up a few transition meetings over the next 2 weeks until I'm officially done. Obviously I don't feel like going to any of those but can I sc--w myself by not? Could they terminate me with cause? ... — read more
Weird Prioroties
Interviewed in 2018 for a position up at the center. Went well. Wrapped up and asked about timing for followups. I sh*t you not, the interviewer looked at me and said “Well, I’ll be honest. You’re clearly a male and you’re clearly white. It’s going... — read more
Laid off with pension - not close to retirement
To those laid off that had a pension and not retirement eligible, are you able to roll out the lump sum into an IRA? How does it work, how do you know what $$$ amount you get? I want to make sure I roll before 3M goes under and get reduced lump sum... — read more
3M CEO Required to Attend Ear Plug Litigation
https://stocks.apple.com/AT8HHihFoR_uUyDXL27SLxA So, I wonder if the attorneys have advised MR that his typical diarrh -a of the mouth communications strategy may not be the best approach in this setting?
Why are my posts being deleted by admins?
Does 3M HR in control of this website?
3Ms final chapter - what this week means
Someone put forth a jolly story about 3M and the various "captains" that have steered mother mining off course into being a shipwreck. My take over 35 years plus two years of retirement is more sober, though I may enjoy some good ipa(s) tonight on a... — read more
3M RTO Policy
Hi All - I am not with 3M but I am trying to build a list of different approaches to RTO. I am focusing on large companies that have presence here on layoffs.com (I am assuming I can get employees to speak up here). Anyhow, if you feel comfortable... — read more
After Some Time Spend Job Searching
Here are some pointers from me... Take it for what's worth: Have a support system and be frank with them - Tell them how you are feeling, and ask for help. It can be cathartic to talk about your feelings, and your support system can offer you... — read more

I quit, I can't take it anymore
3M is falling apart. Everybody can see that, in and outside of the company. The management won't listen to employees and is continuing to make one wrong move after another that are further dooming us. It's a shame, considering that at one time, this... — read more
SIBG solved the back order and service problem
They complained about this all year long - or made excuses with. Solution? Fire the LVS and supply chain planners. Big brained it!!
The 3M Story: the final chapter begins
It's sad and stunning to see what happened to this great American enterprise in the 21st century. The best part of the book was written in the 20th century, before greed, arrogance, incompetence, and fl-tulence impaled the company, delivering mortal... — read more

The teams meetings start here today Switzerland is the first stop
Vale’s departure
If Vale got caught up in a sting, where is the news report about this sting? Was there something reported about this? And the people arrested would be named. I have no doubt he was involved in something nasty, but has anyone any concrete evidence... — read more
Severance in the future
I heard a rumor from several people that severance pay could be cut in the future. It's just a rumor but I'm interested if there is any truth to it?

EO Souring hit this morning in GROUP teams layoff! Job search begins....#1of6000 Onto bigger and better.
Layoffs happening in group meetings
I always assumed my manager would set up an individual meeting to have a personal conversation about losing my job. Setting up a Teams meeting with 30 other people and reading a script is so impersonal and makes me feel like a number. These are... — read more
New external SVP appointment
Any one has background of NICK SKWIAT? Looks hired by Tireman to lead SIBG Mfg
Former post, “Zoe … maybe time for you to go away quietly” HAS BEEN COMPROMISED
Many comments deleted from the original thread, including mine, and it appears when you try to submit new comments they do not load or update. Leadership has pretty thin skin. Not sure why they would want to delete a post with a statement that says... — read more
CBG?
Anyone hear anything about CBG? Hearing maybe early this week from some Engineering friends at a couple of their plants over the weekend.
Canadian Plants- soon to get hit ?
