If you have not, everyone should have sold all of their RTUs by now . This stock is about to barrel down past $100 and never come back.
Let's stop for a minute and review certain approaches. Ask yourselves these questions:
What entities really own the biggest corporations in the world? Do I really make any difference or is it just a theatre? Where are the boundaries of my commitment and trust? Do whatever you want to me, because I am deeply in debt, I will comply and... — read more
For those staying on the sinking ship
Everyone should most definitely have a base, updated version of your resume. Bonus would be to have a few different versions that shift a bit based on type of role you apply for. Everyone should have a 3 month emergency fund that is super liquid... — read more
They created such a culture
It's sad to watch those at the top leading this place straight to the bottom. I don't think they realize that they have created a culture in which most of the employees are milking this company while they look for new opportunities outside. What... — read more
For those who are still on GESPP
I hope you have stopped all GESPP contributions and ride out the 1 year holding period to sell everything on hand. This counter is going downhill after the divorce. Good luck
ISD=IMT
Industrial Specialties Division = Island of Misfit Toys. Holding spot where abandoned 3M businesses go to die. I hope Rudolph and Hermey the Dentist can arrive in time to save them (apologies to those who don’t recognize this reference from Rudolph... — read more
Cut sales force to improve sales?
What is the logistics?
Anybody who is not looking for a Job seriously now ...
is a fool. Even if you have survived this round of cuts, it will be hard to survive the next rounds coming later this year and for surely in 2024, 2025, 2026... If you are shocked that 3M has announced mass layoffs twice this year already, by... — read more

Massive hits to US SIBG today
Here to say that some of the best of the best were let go today. All different ages and experience levels - S5’s, super achievers, key account account leads. Estimating a 30% reduction in the field, if not more. They’re more then just colleagues... — read more
It's Happy Hour time in Maplewood!
Very sad for those who did or will lose their jobs during this mass insanity (again). However, since the weekend is underway, anyone want to share a favorite memory and perhaps timeframe from Tartan or 3M Club or even wonewok if you got to... — read more
Fusion of CSD and TSD - thoughts ?
What does it mean for the strategy of the new division ? Shall we expect the majority of layoffs within TSD ?
Voluntary early retirement
On a similar note, I don't understand why 3M isn't using voluntary early retirement incentives. I know this was discussed a month or two on this site, but it seems so bizarre that 3M wouldn't pursue this mechanism which would limit liability... — read more
The very best summary of cratering 3M!
"There have been countless efficiency initiatives here, and little to show for it over the years,” JPMorgan analyst Steve Tusa wrote in research note. “This seems like more of the same.” Finally, an analyst who hasn't been drinking Mike and Monis... — read more
We should be safe until Monday
I think we're done with layoffs for this week only. Friday is not the usual day for layoffs, so I think that anything further they have planned will most likely wait until Monday. This is my own speculation, though, based on my long history with... — read more
Any actual layoff info?
Does anyone share actual layoff information on this site? I know layoffs must be actually happening and I'm coming to this site in hopes of learning some of the details, but all I see posted is everything except actual layoff information. If you... — read more
Is it possible to get rehired in an another business group.afyer layoff
I know it can happen if one is well connected. What are the chances this time around.
Waiting for package
It is clear that the company would like us to leave without giving us packages. On the other hand, considering that looking for a new job while you have a job is always a better option than putting yourself in danger of looking for a job when you... — read more

Another experiment doomed to fail?
Which remaining 3M biz (not HC) becomes the next Imation?
In the mid 1990s, Desi spun off the data storage and related business as imation, which was a shell of the old 3M business in 10 years and is completely extinct today as 3M/imation never figured out the future of data storage, an area where 3M was... — read more
Q3 2027 Earnings Call Update

Lawyer needed if accepting terms of layoff?
Is a lawyer needed to look at this if I am going to accept the severance? This looks to be very boilerplate and there was zero intrest in any negotiation. Has anyone been successful that has been laid off from 3M to improve the exit package, that... — read more
May the 4th be with you and other Star Wars references
I'm sick of them.
Timeline Details
If we don't find out this week that we are laid off are we safe or is the bigger axe going to fall next week too?
Vague pass down
Most vague layoff pass down I've heard. Literally 1 sentence of going lean with no details. Transparency is jokes. Apparently all the $hit management levels and worthless positions here wasting money are immune because we have growth in our plant... — read more
Has anyone checked their GESPP performance lately?
Even with the minimal bump in stock price from the layoff news, most people must be in red to blood red performance. Thanks M&M boys!

6000 jobs, 6000 families ruined.

Knowing that a bunch of execs are at the conference and drinking heavily during "networking" time. They are likely reading these posts and commenting what ungrateful bstrds we are for posting here and feeling this way. Probably collectively... — read more
How they decide who stays and who goes?
Is it based on age? years of employment? education? level? salary?
A Relevant Post from the Ford Layoff Forum
Found this on the Ford layoff forum and thought people here would appreciate their message. Many similarities between what's going on here and Ford, although they don't have the lawsuits 3M has. https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1mjbqi93 I thought I'd... — read more
Anyone attend Tireman's townhall.
Heard he was full of stories and excuses but always an interesting character. Hasn't EO already been slashed badly enough? Not sure what's left to cut. Any MBBs still around? Tireman, how's the scotch this evening. Planning on another podcast with... — read more
Best 3M CEO performance by revenue
