Topics regarding layoffs at 3M

Stranger than fiction

I recently bumped into a gathering of former 3M “leaders” and was told “hey, when I find a new role, I’d consider hiring you.” I have a job, thanks though. It then dawned on me that the same self-absorbed narcissists that caused me to leave 3M are... — read more 

Growth has long been out of focus

I get a bit nostalgic when I remember all the great people I used to work with. They have long left and moved to other companies. I can't recall exactly when it all went downhill here!? It is only clear that the company's growth has not been... — read more

What a legacy these execs will carry for all time

I wonder how it feels to be a current 3M executive, knowing that their contribution to society is to roll over and play done, and dismantle an iconic company. In the end, it will have been on their watch, listening to external consultants who have... — read more 

Who could buy Spinco?

With the delays in announcing the CEO, business name and HQ location of Spinco it’s becoming more likely that Spinco is being shopped around for a buyer. My guess is that Spinco won’t be bought as an intact business, but split across several... — read more 

How likely is bankruptcy?

I hope that it will not happen, but some here already talk about it as a very possible outcome of all the wrong moves made by the leadership.

Not proud of having 3M on my resume

The 3M name doesn’t carry the weight that we’ve been led to believe. They aren’t even Fortune 100 anymore. When I was interviewing externally, there wasn’t a single employer that acted impressed by having 3M on my resume. Combine the mediocre... — read more 

Spin Co

What is the latest, my experience is that radio silence is never a good thing

How is this fair?

It pi---s me off that management favorites can do nothing but hang around the office all day and they still never get affected by layoffs. They're dragging the entire company down because you know they're not going to voluntarily leave a place where... — read more 

3M Forward vs Advanced 3M

Anyone care to explain what is the difference of these two? How will 3M Forward achieve things that aren't delivered from Advanced 3M previously?

I don't want to think it's too late

Regardless of everything, I had a great time working here and I really wish the company would stop sinking. Some say that it is too late for that. Maybe not after all?

Market bull run

Market looks to be forming a bull run now. Just let go some more 3M GESPP shares. Good exit time in case it drops further when market pulls back.

Company growth

This leadership is terrible. Do they even care about the growth of this company? I don't think they are dedicated to it at all. It is precisely for this reason that I don't feel like staying here anymore because it's hard to imagine a bright... — read more 

Bad all around

3M is too risk adverse to show any true growth anymore. Their litigation issues has put them into so much fear that it’s impossible to innovate. 3M is trying to approach product launches like P&G but they are clueless, slow to market, saddled with... — read more

$466 million on Attorney fees, WTF!!!!!!!!

In January 2023, 3M disclosed it had spent $466 million on attorney’s fees so far. 3M has continued to focus on the bankruptcy of Aearo as the best avenue to resolve the claims, but in May 2023, the judge ordered 3M CEO Michael Roman to attend... — read more

I've had enough of this

I used to fear losing my job here, but the uncertainty and stress is only costing me my health and happiness. I'm probably not the only one who would accept a slightly worse paying job now just to not be here anymore?

APAC layoffs

Looks like the cuts are propagating to APAC side. And need to be done by 30 Jun.

Trying in vain to get a new offer

But now I'm starting to get worried because I haven't been able to get anything for months. I wonder if it's just me or if there are many other people in this situation?

Retire at 60?

I was let go unexpectedly 4 weeks ago. I don’t want to face the indignities of interviews and being the proverbial new guy. I have no debt, and own my North Oaks home. I have about $2 million invested. I did get a severance package that includes... — read more 

Campus feels like a ghost town, except in 223

Which feels both angry and sad. So many "leaders" walk around looking broken or arrogantly heartless. Just sell the campus to Hollywood so they can use the place to make zombie movies.

Reality Check

I love how in the job elimination TownHalls, they say 3M is “streamlining, positioning itself for the future” while completely glossing over what that means- My reality? Get laid off out of the blue. Two weeks later, father passes away. Should be... — read more 

Team leaders

Serious question, why does every person who is given a title of ‘Team Leader’ immediately think that they are above their fellow workers!!! Do they not realise they are the managers little b##ches? I know this is not just the UK I am talking about — read more
