Anyone fully understands how this new organization will be improved from earlier Advanced 3M structure?

I'm just wondering how many layoffs happen that haven't been announced, which seem to be happening behind the scenes, as some write here.

https://fortune.com/company/3m/ Good thing 3M pays to make this list. Reality just doesn’t represent this.

Censorship on this site begs the question “if 3M can censor you, how do you know they can’t track you?” We really don’t know how much influence they have but for some reason entire communication threads disappear for unknown reasons. If you are a... — read more 

Someone should ask HR to come to this website.

I often get the feeling that this company has become a lost cause and that it is too late for changes that would put it back on track. Perhaps I'm overly pessimistic, but unfortunately, that's how it seems to me now. Anyone still has hope that... — read more 

Sups came in early. They are all over the hallways rounding up the doomed. Everyone looking grim.

3M financial performance has been significantly worse since he came. Why cannot the board and Roman realize that his recipe is not working, unless of course stock at a 10 year low is what they are looking for. As the WSJ article pointed, even without... — read more 

Simple, return to 3M's roots: Make premium products - if it can't at least arguably claim to be best in class, discontinue or private label it away from the 3M brand. R&D is a big part of this. Sell value - By this I mean actually have 3M sales... — read more 

During the Thursday HCBG Q1 Town Hall, a statement was made by Mike Ottesen about making sure to carve out ONE hour for your Wife and Family during the weekday. I like to stay employed with for my benefits and paycheck but if that's the direction... — read more 

We now have one of 3M’s largest investors trying to oust Roman which the board clearly doesn’t care about. Is there anything employees can do? Create a petition? It’s so sad to see what’s happening to this company! :(

Since it appears that our employees are too expensive I hope our sports sponsorships are okay. God forfend that our multi-million dollar execs cut back on sponsorships.

Vale stated that the hiring freeze for sales could be permanent . Many are covering what was once covered by 2 or 3 people. How can sibg grow if reps are extended on coverage? (Sibg will be 60 something percent of the company once spinco is... — read more 

Has anyone heard anything? Does anyone know how long it normally takes after a layoff announcement, when the plants actually find out how many people they’re losing? It’s pathetic that I can actually get a response on here and a more accurate one... — read more 

Zoom is laying off 15% of their work force and the CEO is being accountable by taking a pay cut and ensuring that the top execs are having a decrease in their salaries as well. Mike Roman should be doing the same. The top execs should also get a pay... — read more 

Has gibbons gone into hiding. Seems like radio silence for a guy who likes to hear himself speak. Maybe he hit the scotch too hard last night?

Weird to see what the 3M board is trying to do with Roman. It's clear something needs to be done NOW - the Board needs to do its job and figure out what went wrong with the culture, new products, advance 3M, and SAP immediately. They need to... — read more 

The rumors that the board is looking for a change may just be a pipe dream, but 3M would need to appoint interim to fill in for probably 12 months before they could find a replacement if they wanted to go outside. Layoffs still happen since that's... — read more 

We also have no culture anymore. We are worried about the d-mbest things instead of having a clear, concise direction. The playbook is just cutting useful jobs while expanding roles that never made sense to begin with. A3M was a disaster and ruined... — read more 

What is your reaction to Mike Vale's townhall? I have to admit that he is refreshingly articulate, as compared to the typical messaging we hear from M&M. However, I don't work within SIBG, so don't have as good of an understanding of the details of... — read more 

FIRE ROMAN! FIRE MONISH! FIRE LAVERS!!!

I was expecting them to announce 3M Healthcare as the new name. But now I’m not so sure. Perhaps the 3M brand is becoming toxic (excuse the pun) with the PFAS and Aereo lawsuits. Maybe they should have a whole new name? Or maybe they will be... — read more

Can someone give a summary of the changes that were made with A3M, and what hasn't worked? I left right before it was announced and am very curious to hear people's thoughts.

This site has turned into a nasty place for people who think they are smarter than Roman and others. Was useful when it was about layoffs and what people were experiencing. I find the nastiness on this site to be cruel and offensive. Between the... — read more
