This company has messed with everyone's careers, with the environment, and now with the stock market. I care more about losing my investments than losing my job. Stock price below 100??? Now I'm steamed.

Aip to be effectively adjusted, plus 10 percent paycuts. Welcome to what's left.

I got a list of people based on age and pay rank of who was eliminated. If there were multiple people on a team let go, but not everyone, does that mean they actually assessed our skills and let us go based on that factor?

Amazing to see how Roman has conducted his layoffs and keeping his good ol buddy network alive by implementing the twin city two step. For those that arent aware, this is where you sh!tcan an entire organization but then keep the failed leader if the... — read more 

I support giving production employees the same "bonus" program (AIP / Annual Incentive Plan) that 3M implemented for salaried people many years ago. We aspire to be an inclusive company, so maybe we should apply the same compensation principles to... — read more

Thanks to WFH and 3M not caring about anyone's performance but only how to cut more costs (ad nauseum), I've had some time to research into the comparison between today's corporate world and the 1990s, when "rightsizing" became the craze in corporate... — read more

Why would it keep doing my job since my role maybe eliminated in 2-3 weeks? Anyone else in the same boat and struggling with productivity?

Winning?

And no changes to leadership On its way to a penny stock

What a snooze fest. A third of this 35 minute broadcast was administrative blather and CYA statements. Roman's comments were obviously highly scripted (you can actually hear paper shuffling) and very stiff. No emotion, no passion, and especially... — read more

I think we've all realized with the M&M&M boys that it is no longer a matter of IF but only HOW SOON AND HOW MANY. I watched the market today, around my price is right break and my 2 pm nap. 3M came perilously close to dipping below 100 in the 1st... — read more 

Curious if anyone has either 1) been laid off or 2) voluntarily left the company while 3M was paying their MBA (or other graduate degree) tuition. Did they make you pay a portion back? How did they handle it if you were mid-degree and you were laid... — read more

It pains me to say this, but 3M just doesn't seem to be the same company that it used to be. The current state of affairs is incredibly disheartening. The leadership team is not delivering on their promises, and their apparent lack of vision is... — read more 

A healthcare VP told me the other day when you hear someone bring up the word "opportunity," keep your hand and head down. The company will never invest in it to scale - and the people who move to the exciting new high growth opportunity are the... — read more
