Best news yet! The fact they spend millions on that smoke and mirror fest never made sense to me… This place is the titanic!

The Takeover & Replacement In Progress.
And nobody is doing anything about this. This is horrible for the country and every single one of us, in progress at Solventum right now just like in 1000s of companies across the country. I am unsure why everyone is so blind and we are selling... — read more
30 new hires in HIS, 15 from that country
50% of new hires are from that country, American new grads cannot find a job, fk.
Q2 Global Townhall Motivational Video
Anyone else take issue with the ‘motivational’ video shown at the last town hall? Our CEO really woke up today and said, “You know what will inspire the team? Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas.” So now all of us watched a heavyweight upset from 1990... — read more

Leaving Solventum
What happened to management doing the right thing and being transparent when potential reorganization was in the mix? After more than a decade, I recently retired only to find out that my position was changing and becoming 2 positions. Had they... — read more
Solventum = Zimmer Biomet 2.0
1.) Hire exec. team of highly compensated "friends" to virtue signal 2.) Create us vs 'them' environment 3.) Have numerous employee indoctrination meetings (receive medals) 4.) Spin-off non core businesses 5.) Quarterly lay-offs of 'them' 6.)... — read more
2nd Birthday party spectacle
When Brian got on stage, I heard someone say ‘what kind of BS today?’ It’s a good way to not have to say anything or face an audience unhappy with their raise when you hand out $9k in cash randomly. Is this normal?
Layoffs after layoffs
They keep the most incompetent people I don’t see how this company will survive. Epic is taking all of their clients. This company su-ks a-s!
Worst culture of all time
This is the kind of company where low-effort “people leaders” can work with you for a year and start misspelling your name as a way to depersonalize people and signal hierarchy and people are terrified to go take a 20 minute walk break. One of the... — read more
Who is the parking lot Nazeee?
Parked at Eagan this morning for the first time and some woman came out blathering "You can't park there!". New employee, what do I know? I laughed at her and went to do the job I was hired for. Went out to my car to go home and there was a typed... — read more
Solventum formalized 1 April 2024 not 2023
Description states 2023, it was 2024.
Life at Solventum vs 3M
As an ex HCB sales person who got "stuck" at 3M I still follow all my old European colleagues on Linkedin. Life looks amazing at Solventum! It's seems like unlimited travel and many chances to get together and meet in person at amazing high end... — read more
Ortho layoffs
Due to restructuring in Ortho, aka giving all the jobs over seas to Costa Rica, all the TX design team, clinical advisors, DC and FMQC, US based employees, are being laid off effective in March. Hard to say official numbers but it's upwards of 40... — read more
What did you think of the town hall?
Sort of boring and lackluster. Hard to feel inspired about anything. I guess there is the Americas kick off to look forward to.
Legendary Audrey Sherman just left
Solventum just lost their star researcher and patent producer, I noticed she’s been sharing jobs at other health companies on LinkedIn the past month for other Medical Surgical researchers and engineers that were all laid off in the last month. I... — read more
New To Solventum
Just came on board. Dang, what a bunch of sad sacks moping around here. That's too bad. Here in Eagan and in the old 3M site it's like a morgue. Nobody says "Hi". They are afraid of their own shadow. Oh, well. Maybe some new blood can liven this... — read more
Final Layoff Numbers
Does anyone have an idea the final count of folks impacted across the entire layoff period (October - Jan)?
Layoffs in process
Sh*t is happening today.
Who is staying?
Who is feeling like this is a preferred workplace? What is leadership doing to make this a preferred workplace? It seems none of the employees from 3M are part of the future. The goal is to replace everyone with better employees and bring them in... — read more
Sick time policy change?
What is the new sick time policy going into effect in 2026?
Managers: are you forced to give 1 and 2 ratings?
I thought on 3M's previous 5-point scale, 4's and 5's had a quota (you couldn't give more than they told you, basically some % of your headcount), and 1's and 2's were a corrective action tool (not mandated in a group). Is there a forced quota on... — read more
October 29th Layoff Severance payout?
Has anyone in the October 29 Layoff recieved their lump sum yet? Official last day would be November 29th.
How do you all deal?
It is so heartbreaking reading these comments when is the next layoff, are we next?...this is honestly no way to live. Instead of being under the golden handcuffs...step outside your comfort zone and look for an alternative job! This is no way to... — read more
Are you planning on joining the employee stock purchase program?
I am interested in whether people are thinking of joining up. My thoughts are that the company doesn’t feel very stable, the morale is low and I’m not really sure if growing the company is the real long term plan of our leadership. I still believe... — read more
Why HK?
I don't understand HK as COO. If not due to actual incompetence and misconduct, why invite the optics? 1) Corporate Pillar: be a top quartile performer. Via LinkedIn, Heather was Baxter President of Global Business Units and Americas (2019-2023)... — read more
Dissolventum
With a sad grey D as our logo
Is anyone suing?
Just curious if anyone is actually considering legal action against this company
Here come the Bobs
So I had cause to re-watch Office Space over the weekend. The studio released this movie in 1999. It focuses on the corporate absurdities that permeated cubicle life in the late 1990s, with the lead-up to Y2K as a backdrop. I’ve seen the movie... — read more
To the Acera Surgical team
We do layoffs every holiday season. You will be laid off eventually. I'd estimate half of you will be laid off by the summer
Crystal Ball and SOLV layoffs
The reality of SOLV financials is gruesome. Revenue just north of 8 billion. Debt north of 5 billion. Bryan is a grossly incompetent and overpaid clown but he was dealt a bad hand thanks to Mike Roman. How 3M saddled a HC spin less than 25 percent of... — read more
More layoffs coming?
Seems like there may be another round this week? Any news?
When does HIS get sold
It's about time
How many were let go this week?
Bad news for med surg this week. Does anyone know the full count of people let go? Other parts of the Company too?
