Ok so I escaped the sanitarium with a 93 number (one to spare over the sacred 92). Incredibly grateful for it. But I am just blown away how this company, especially YOU TIREMAN, has frickin' turned into something out of George Orwell 1984 room 101... — read more 

For decades when walking through our plant I would always pick up clutter or trash when walking by. Never would I leave it on the floor. For the first time, I just walked on by. I don’t care anymore. You win tireman. You have created a complete... — read more 

I am constantly tense because I don't know how much longer I will have a job here, and I am also disappointed because now I realize that all my efforts to have the best possible performance are probably in vain. If I got a solid offer, I wouldn't... — read more

I went through 2008-2009 and truly felt the economy dealt us a bad hand. I knew that 3M was resilient and would weather the storm. This time around the clowns upstairs are blaming the economy but we all see through the lies now. This is not on the... — read more 

Why is Gibby asking for more reporting of site incidents? Is this increase spate of safety incidents, related to the massive layoffs that are affecting the workers morale?

I was laid off some weeks ago, I’m still within the 45 day period. I’m having a hard time coming to terms with some things and I wanted to get some opinions. I’m in my 30s. I was hired straight from undergrad. I was an intern and tech aide, so all... — read more

What's the next thing that's going to be sold off?

This site perfectly summarizes the problem with senior executives both at 3M and corporate America. They cheerfully operate by different rules and pay little attention to hypocrisy. Heads, they win. Tails, they win big. Compensation plans at the... — read more

From Tireman I'm delighted to announce another addition to my leadership team...blah blah.. Why cut the workers while keep adding leaders?

Everyone at 3M should know what's going to happen now. I have called it since day 1 of moonish. They are going to scrape and cut until there is just the bones of 3M, then they are going to sell off the parts. If you are in any sort of support role... — read more
