Hopefully to lighten the mood for some this evening while they enjoy an IPA or wine (or even scotch, Peter since we know you come back here often). The record Halloween blizzard hit Minnesota inundating Twin Cities and Duluth both over 2 feet of... — read more 

I've been at 3M for a little over a year now. I work in division but I came from a very technical background so I do some of the work that CRSL people do. However, I do not have a PhD and in some of my interactions, I distinctly feel that some of... — read more 

Decatur employees were notified that the Chemical plant there is closing. Think this is about 300-400 jobs impacted. Between Cordova and Decatur there was a lot of extra capacity with PFAS going away

It’s been a few months since the last one and the holidays are coming. Wait they did shake up a few of the incompetent last week!

I'm sure many on here are mad about the way BB is managing the company. I am a former exec, retired on good terms after VP/GM of quite a few businesses in all business segments. Obviously external perspective he is doing things well, as proven by... — read more 

This guy is the best CEO since McKnight. 3M is humming along under his brilliant leadership. Huge earnings. Morale higher than ever. Lazy people are leaving. What's not to love here. Now get back to work you quiet quitting clowns.

anyone know anything on the the company’s side of this contract? “Last & Final” was just voted down.

Any word on if she was pushed out? I am assuming so based on the four sub groups now reporting to other people, and no mention of backfilling

No new ideas so let's just keep flip-doing back and forth on things that don't matter. I'm sure there are gonna be a bunch of 2s given out, though, to send the message that Bill Brown thinks you su-k but we're not ready to fire you just yet.

I’ve noticed how 3M is moving more into high-tech areas like advanced materials, semiconductors, and healthcare innovation. It makes me wonder if some of our older divisions are starting to lose relevance. From my point of view, a few areas that... — read more 

Retiree here. 30+ years in the mines. They told me my medical benefit credits would have some inflation indexation. But the competitive benefit landscape doesn’t include that, so… it’s gone! Thanks 3M! I wonder if the C-suite guys ever lose any of... — read more

It’s here just to push out as many people as possible on the cheap. If I’m wrong, convince me otherwise. Give me one example of RTO actually improving collaboration, efficiency, morale, productivity, anything, really. All I’ve gained is more time... — read more

Question for the folks that are in the factories. Are you guys leadership team dysfunctional or is it just ours. Seems the left hand don’t or won’t talk to the right hand. Nobody knows what’s going on. Always running out of things. Just curious if... — read more 

Fascinating read touching on Polaris, Advance 3M, and other poor decision making: https://archive.ph/1w3Rs “Effectively, 3M became ‘a case study of everything not to do over a very long period of time’…”

Stupid idea in the first place. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce84e4egp38o

Who is really running things there? Why has neither HR or ethics and compliance team taken any action?

Why do they stop publishing the quarterly AIP estimates? Anyway they report quarterly earnings to Wall Street. Any reason for not telling its employees on quarterly basis AIP?

Why are SVPs and VPs demanding for bigger and bolder targets for 2026? So that they can get their bigger bonus and LTI options?

Anyone else been witness to a bunch of shenanigans to pull sales forward into September to make Q3 numbers look good?

The office has become a shell. For those who have returned, it feels like working in a morgue — silence, no collaboration, no energy. At least at home people could put the radio on and feel some life around them. We tried free coffee for a week, but... — read more 

I don’t need to see the survey results, I want to see the actions and outcomes. It’s the same burnt out feedback as prior years but with less passion… so what’s the point? “Improve culture” and “improve moral” without improving (or even addressing)... — read more 

The culture is exhausting, to put it mildly, and priorities shift daily. Not to mention that it feels like no one actually cares if you succeed or just survive, as long as you keep doing more and more and even more. I can't find one good thing to say... — read more 

With Honeyman gone, some 3Mer's might be interested in the honeyman position. 3M leadership will go outside of 3M because 3Mers are viewed as incompetent, good worker bees but not leadership material. The longer you are at 3M, the less likely you... — read more

Just wow. Speaks volumes about this company

There are no places to sit. There was no thought put into this. Very disappointing

My group is doing a small amount of hiring, but every time it's posted in Brazil, because we can pay them significantly less than we would have to pay an American. Funny how we need to RTO to collaborate, but then we continue to hire people in a... — read more 

The RTO mandate begins next week. I honestly thought I would be seeing more anger about it on here as the time got closer, but instead, the discussion about it has just kind of dried up. Has everyone just kind of quietly given up and accepted it? ... — read more

Bill Brown isn’t leading 3M for you, he’s leading it for himself. His $21M pay is wired to explode if the stock price climbs. That means every cut, every squeeze, every “efficiency” is just a stepping stone to his payday. To him, workers aren’t... — read more
