Does anyone feel like “it’s great to have a job” but damn this one sucks. Just a bunch of snakes and id--ts trying to be the ring master of this circus. Been here a while….never felt this way.

Why ??? Future in SpinCo
Why nobody wants to join SpinCo? What is top management hiding ? Why there is no transparency?

WYW is a great iniative but only for office staff, but why does mm.m not give a hoot about the pay increases of production worker who are grafting all shifts, seems like the bottom feeders are just that, no chance to progress and still doing... — read more
PFAs
Why no new recipes to replace Pfas
Another online compliance course??
Why make employees go thru so many online courses? Latest one is PREVENTING BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
Will they remove Work Your way?
With the drastic headcount reduction, will the senior leadership plan to remove "work your Way"? So that they can get more people back to office to cover the slack? Any HR personnel reading this??
The company wants us to quit
Don't give them that satisfaction. Let them pay all of us to leave.
KPI
For all of 3Ms work with Six Sigma, they have missed the biggest KPI, Keep People Informed
Has anyone else noticed the newly installed shot spotters?
There are 6 of them on campus.
Raise Your Hand if You’re Still Waiting
Our area was told we would get the 10% hit but still radio silence. This is maddening.
Kidde files for Chapter 11 citing PFAS lawsuits
Does anyone have information related to the bellwether PFAS trial scheduled to begin in June? Kidde never manufactured AFFF, but did sell it through a subsidiary which they sold off 10 years ago. If Kidde's potential liability is beyond its'... — read more
For those survivors still left
Has your boss already come around and told you what great "opportunities" you were being given, on top of your 50 hours of work per week. Just curious since I escaped the maplewood asylum 2 years ago and love retirement. I remember during one of... — read more
Tamera?
Maybe Tamera will come back to save us. It would be nice to have some ladies in our c suite and we would all follow her.
Death spiral
I have no more patience to watch the decline of this company nor do I want to continue spending my time here. I don't think there is any way to stop the death spiral anymore. Or do some still think there is?
What if this was a set up? Sure looks like it.
Vale was the last hope 3M had to save the company from ruin. He is very demanding in a fair way, visionary, embodies the McKnight principles, business savvy, and people truly rallied around him. What happened here sounds like a trap. Someone set him... — read more
MTE’s hit Hard
In my business group there were 13 engineers with various titles and roles. 9 of the 13 were outright cut and 1 left to another business leaving 3. We’ll see if my workload changes…..
A comment on reddit got me thinking
I read this comment in a reddit thread about MV and made me wonder if there might be truth here. I realize the Woodbury sting makes for a much better story, but what if ... "You’re missing that he was probably outed because of the lay offs. The... — read more
High Performance VS Low trust-Vale et al
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTo9e3ILmms
Who is next?
Who do you think should be fired next and who is, in actuality, most likely to be fired next among upper management?
Bright side: did Vale's "layoff" save what's left of 3M?
Seems like MV after his positively arrogant April townhall was ready to release another 5 to 10k 3Mers, did his exit for "unscrupulous behavior" exit save some people? Seems like Roman, being in a corporate coma, would likely let more people stay... — read more
Zoe … maybe time for you to go away quietly
Layoff after layoff where the good 3m people are treated poorly…. Deaths in the plants, A culture / environment of RATS that turn in any and all “policy violations” …. so that the RAT is embraced and protected….And the accuser is immediately... — read more
How are those laid off recently or in the last year or so doing?
Would love to hear any success stories or guidance to those more recently impacted.
Vale Update… Check the Judy records
https://www.judyrecords.com/record/nxu8o6g7pbde8 So for 20 years this clown has been an executive “leader” at one of the most ethical companies in the world…???
Layoffs, Vale, more bad news, voila! Time for some PR hype!
3M newsline hawks must have been sitting on a feel good story to lighten their day when the bad news turned worse with Vales firing (bad news for him and Roman). So today we get a story about a Malawi couple who are big into innovations and get a... — read more
Are they still interested in growth?
Perhaps my impression is wrong, but it seems to me that the leadership no longer has any plans for the growth of the company nor particularly cares about it.
CLASSIC
Anyone else notice that nearly ALL recent promotion/management announcements are for white men?
Layoffs in RemainCo
Are we done with the layoffs in RemainCo or more coming ? Stock price is at $98 .. Those ( managers/ executives) who are having options will not leave 3M because of the value being zero.. Stick here for decades to come ..
A3M now unraveling
Now that the regional division structures and unraveling and the resources (those not cut) are being pulled back into the divisions, is there a date set when the division VPs (particularly in SIBG) can make a public announcement about how ignorance... — read more
Have we had enough of Vale-related threads?
We have more important things to worry about, such as pending layoffs. I don't care anymore why he was kicked out. He's gone. Everything that could have been said was either already said in one of the many posts about him or it can still be said in... — read more
Vale’s termination - preempting public release of info
The more I have thought about this, which is a great distraction from the sh-t show that is my job at 3M, the more I am convinced it has to be something criminal and they were preempting a public fallout: Rob Cessena was actually NOT fired right... — read more
3M Values
Remember when we all had to know those and their spurious examples. I think it has been at least three years since anyone has uttered that phrase and it shows. Sure makes letting 8,500 people go easier. LOL
Newest greatest soap opera debuts: As the 3M World Turns

We don’t really know what happened
This post will likely get a lot of troll commentary that I won’t read. While I agree this company and culture are a disaster, I don’t think it’s fair to drag Vale’s name through the mud when we don’t know what actually happened. Seems like that’s the... — read more
