Our company said this stuff was harmless. A whole new wave of litigation is now expected. The link between PFAS and testicular cancer among service members was never directly proven — until now. A new federal study for the first time shows a direct... — read more 

Just listened to Gibbons town hall. Just yuck.. please leave and take all your new hires.

Share price under Mike has dropped to 100 again. Only Gibbons has the guts and vision to cut out the fat (overpaid and co--y MTE roles needed to be cut by 50 percent or more). Kearney has clearly helped this company realign and energize the mess Pete... — read more 

Curious why folks still work here? Why not go somewhere else? Thanks!

Haven't heard much on the legal front since the bombshell revelation and termination in May. I'm beginning to wonder if the cops used entrapment style tactics and are now in hot water with the judge. Vale getting off without a trial would boost his... — read more

There has been many a topic devoted to our beloved CFO....MoPo, Money Potti, Moneyish...or whatever you might prefer to call him. Consensus is that he is not a popular figure in 3M and his decisions have led to lot of angst in the last few years... — read more 

It's obviously Monish didn't wow the board during his finest hour of cutbacks. Lavers is clearly Healthcare CEO. With Vale gone, time for the board to hire the most decisive guy left: peter. Like Gibbons or not, he is passionate and decisive and... — read more 

How about a little honesty and just tell us that there needs to be cost cuts. I have never heard so much Bullsh-t made up. Karina is amateur hour on stage. Nothing has changed even with different leaders and different division names. Having us... — read more

(Note: This site ate a first version of this post for some reason, re-posting) 3M jets have been really busy in just the last few days, something is up. This is the most intense 3M jet traffic I've seen since we went down to 3 jets. All of the... — read more 

Just a heads up, something is happening with the jets. This is the most concentrated jet activity I've seen in a while, if ever with only 3 jets. My guess is an in-person board meeting, but that is a blind guess. The stops in just the past few... — read more 

Horrible event in Red Wing 3M plant. This plant has been a sole producer of Fall protection for many regions of the world. My daughter was hired for a summer contact role and was eliminated 3 weeks early for unknown reasons. While I think full time... — read more

Despite beating Quarter results, its share price is retreating back below $100. Get out while you can.

Does anyone not use their Everyday Wins points? It appears it gets added as part of gross income, with offsetting Journal entries on your paycheck stubs, but also expires. The Dept of Labor & Industry has indicated this is a form of wage theft.

I am seeing and hearing more and more scenarios where GSC employees are now reporting directly into US businesses and dotted line into GSC management. Has anyone else been noticing this?

Is 3M paying people to post 3M propaganda articles on LinkedIn? It seems that various people I am connected with are sharing all sorts of positive 3M content on their page everyday. Based on the text shared, it seems scripted and not written by the... — read more

If the company's plan is to exert pressure on employees in order to make them quit on their own and save on severance pay, then I think that's a terrible strategy... Micromanaging and overwhelming people won't bring any of the results they are... — read more
