Who should go ?
As we have seen over the past two years, worker bees are being axed left and right but our dear leaders seemingly remain untouched in their ivory towers. They speak and we dance. I have seen colleagues who have given everything to this burning ship... — read more
Down 10 more dollars in one week. Where is mike?
One would think a guy getting 10 to 20 million per year would have some guts and buy some shares at depressed prices if he really believed in his own company. Once the holders listing is updated, expect to see the big firms selling off what they had... — read more

Frustrated by the hiring process
It has been a while since the last time I was looking for a job, but I can't believe how much things have changed. Why in the world does a company need four or five interviews to determine whether you are a good fit for them? Fifteen years ago, it... — read more

The once best place to work. CEO cfo Six sigma
Job market is good
It was better about a year ago but that doesn't mean that it's not good right now. I've been actively searching for a new job for a little over three weeks and I already have two offers. I admit, the money is not as good but that's why I'll keep... — read more
pension should be ok
If your employer goes into liquidation, the pension scheme is not affected as the scheme is independent and has no direct connection to your employer's situation. You will only lose out on the pension contributions made by your former employer - the... — read more
Question
Who was PSD CTO who recommended patent suit against the small earplug co? Does that person still work at MMM?
Will anybody be able to enjoy this long weekend?
I know I won't. Everything that's been happening has me on edge and I haven't been able to let go once I leave work. Too much stress and uncertainty to be able to just switch it off as much as I want to. You know it's bad when work is affecting our... — read more

Time for Monish to go?
He ideas have made things worse, not better. Stock is down, morale is down, business outcomes are worse, and his big strategic ideas are now crumbling before him. He talks about accountability and wants to put other peoples names on things, he needs... — read more
We need to be fair about a few things and put them in context
The previous CEO COO combo was the origin of many issues, including the overwhelming channel stuffing which caused the share price to go to an artificial level. So let's not forget the negative contributions of those two thugs. We are still paying... — read more
Pure Genius

How do they sleep at night?
Honestly how can the CIO be such a cold bast4rd? Anyone staying at 3M in TTS that isn’t already cut should be running for the door. These cuts are going to keep coming. Mark has no plans, and certainly doesn’t care about anything or anyone but... — read more
So much fat
There is so much fat here that if we lost 30% of the workforce it would be the same productivity that exists now. High-level management and long-term employees just sit around take long lunch breaks, watch Netflix, play on computers, get haircuts... — read more
It'll be OK
Stay Strong. I have been there. Felt like giving up on everything. I must've interviewed at 10+ companies in a span of 3 months. No interviews for the next month due to holiday season. I used to choke up when recruiters/HMs asked me why I wanted this... — read more
3M is NOT the same company
I am a former employee of 3M. I was part of the last reduction when there was 3,000 in Jan. 2021. I was short of 2 months for a FULL retirement of age + service = 92! What kind of a company does that to their loyal, dedicated employees? I was... — read more
Cuts in Minnesota?
Anyone heard a number. I saw a comment in the star tribune about 3000 in mn alone. I think their are only 10000 total, so that would be an insane 30 percent cut. Mike and monish have outdone themselves with that kind of "accomplishment"
4000 positions to go in Europe out of a total of 20000
Some big cuts for Europe across the board
Severance info for those staying
Those impacted over the years. Help those of us who are left and will likely eventually face the same fate. Give details on your severance. The fact that there is supposedly an “ok” (and its just ok) severance is the only reason i dont leave the... — read more
