RTO in so many cases doesn’t make sense
So many of us work with international teams. WFH allows flexibility required for such a setting. Long commute so many people would have to do now is just a loss of time and money. Spending time in offices or hubs is just an extra expense. In the... — read more
Over cut inventory
Heard that PG & gang was too successful in cutting down the inventory. Now it's overshot and starting to have stock out situation. Now panicking and asking plants to load up inventory. Such short term leaders that we have here!
15 Percent Culture
Curious how many 3M employees are supported or encouraged to use 15 percent time for passion projects that might benefit 3M. A friend recently applied for a lab position at 3M, inquired about 15 percent culture, and was told this benefit was built... — read more
A disguised layoff strategy
The decision to end remote work seems to be less about productivity and more about encouraging people who moved far from the office to resign. By pushing these employees to quit voluntarily, 3M can avoid the costs associated with severance packages... — read more
My team is suffering from all cr-p typical of 3M
Team squabbles, high-school level pro. A lot of bi--hing about everything and anything too. Passive-aggressive and completely useless mgmt. Couple of people who are always trying to offload all the work on others, but take the credit. The rest of us... — read more

3M is stuck in the past
This place truly feels stuck in the past. There's zero room for creative ideas or trying new approaches. It’s all about sticking to the same old routine, leaving little space for individual input. How can anybody think that this is the way to be... — read more

Seriously, the plant workers are constantly whining about how mean and abusive and retaliatory their bosses are, and complaining about how college grads don't know anything compared to the wise line operators, but many of us don't have anything in... — read more
BB I Urge You

Do you even need experience to be a manager here?

Fellow members, I wanted your help to find out what is the salary-grade structure in 3M? I am a new JG 11 joinee of 8 months and was wondering how many years usually at each grade? what is the salary range by grade?
Return to office
Rumors are swirling about 3M taking away Work your Way. Anyone able to confirm management will take away yet another benefit?
The hidden abuse
I hate it here. If you question anything your manager does, you're not technically fired since they don't want to pay unemployment, but the stress, workload, and constant criticism will drive you out. All you're getting from that point on is pure... — read more

Layoffs in last quarter of 2024?
Was there still cuts to be carried out before year end? I seem to recall they still have an allotment for restructuring this year in the financials. There was insinuation of consolidation in the last earnings release, ie 110 plants formerly served... — read more
The result of all the layoffs in the past 2 years ...
3M stock near 52-week high. Sure, it is nowhere near its all-time high but Inge mortgaged the company to pay a high dividend and had billions in share repurchase to pump the share price up to ~$200 (adjusted for Solventum split). Roman... — read more
3M has lost its way
The BOD needs members who understand "Business", not gender theory. The CEO must re-evaluate and rebuild it's corporate HR department, this has long been a weak link for 3M. Eliminate all DEI positions immediately. 3M needs to have sure footing in... — read more

PFAS lawsuits endless. Continue to collect your salaries, just don't get caught in layoffs. Eventual bankruptcy for 3M but that will be 5-6 years out. This lawsuit covers anyone that bought carpet before 2020. Have an employment exit plan. 3M knew of... — read more

Union.
Union, union, union, union, union, union. Agree?
How many top leaders have left in 2024?
Saw a few names already, some perhaps left before they could be fired. Others "pursued other opportunities" outside 3M - meaning fired but get a formal send-off. Other than Gibbons, who seems to have moved into the Right Hand Man of Brown spot, not... — read more

Message To All Manufacturing Tuesday Morning
I see Peter Gibbons is doing a live event Tuesday morning and all 30,000 plus manufacturing employees have been invited. Does anyone have any insight what's coming down the pipe?
Why has HR made it impossible to find new jobs within 3M?
Have you looked at Workday recently? You can't search by job grade and you can't search by date posted. So if you want a new job at 3M, you have to sift through literally every job, looking for anything that might be at your next job grade but also... — read more
RTO
I thought I saw a post stating BB is going to mandate RTO but I do not see it now. I work in Legal and was hired just after the pandemic ended. I live out of state and work from home. Many other lawyers are also out of state. I know senior legal... — read more
Board of Directors are geniuses!
The board forced MR to retire, spun off Solventum and hired BB. The “old 3M” share price is now $140 and climbing. Both 3M and Solventum are gaining momentum going into the 2nd half of the year. Better days ahead!
