Is job security gone forever?
Layoffs always existed at 3M, but at least we knew once a round was done we were safe for the foreseeable future. That's no longer true. Now I feel like we are worried about layoffs 24/7, and as soon as one round is done we start speculating about... — read more
Predictions for tomorrow's earning's call??
Obviously we are all hearing there could be massive layoff's announced tomorrow. Anyone have any insight into the specific teams/groups that are likely to be hit?
Any substantial info for the earnings call?
There's so much talk of what might be announced tomorrow...from 10k-15k job cuts, to restructuring, to cutting plant spending, to new Spinco name/leadership...etc etc. Anyone have any actual knowledge of what might be the topic tomorrow?
Layoffs to end at 60,000
The ultimate goal is to reduce headcount to 60,000. Lots of folk’s hanging on, complaining, but gripped by fear, they stay on. Like Bed, Bath, and Beyond, 3M will ultimately be forced to file bankruptcy.
May the force be with you !
Everyone is expecting a big announcement on Tuesday now. Significant job losses, huge restructuring. I think (hope!) rather than a random number we will actually get some substance behind it to see where that number is coming from …but this post... — read more

Life of a 3mer
We take daily pain meds and hot showers to dull the pain from working never ending overtime because the average turn around is less than a year. We don't have the staff, equipment, or space to surpass our daily sales cap so everyday we fall more... — read more

Q1 Earnings call in less than a week away- what the message to shareholders?
Less than a week until Q1 Earnings call , if a big announcement is coming it’s right up to the very last minute . What businesses have already had news shared?
Who decides who to lay off
For a rough guide for US staff groups: Supervisors/Managers whose groups are not impacted - will find out at roughly the same time as everyone else. Maybe an hour or two before. They won't even see the list until after the announcement. ... — read more
Anyone received their Annual Increase yet?
How much did you get? I thought they were supposed to be available in Workday now but mine isn’t. Radio silence about it from my manager so far…maybe that’s a bad sign!
It is amazing how people live to work
Get themselves into debts that they do not need just to satisfy some fake social status, but once they hear a whip, they will comply with anything to keep the theatre going.
Europe to get American Jobs
Looks like European plants will be taking the American jobs and a lot of the work production as its cheaper than the dollar, the quality of work is much better and also finalizing HC Spinco to Ireland.

3m in a nutshell
https://youtu.be/j_1lIFRdnhA
I always hide
Because, I have heard that good employees are hard to find
Remove bonuses
Get rid of bonuses to salary management. Pushing numbers at the expense of quality to customers is not worth lining the pockets of the worthless. 3m greed at the finest.
Morale is terrible due to constant layoffs
I don't know about others, but ever since layoffs became more frequent and job stability became a concern, I've been experiencing a lack of motivation and I can no longer do my job as before. Managers who have higher expectations of us than ever... — read more
Loyalty towards 3M

How safe do you think your job is?
I am extremely anxious even though I have colleagues who do not worry in the least because they think that their positions are safe. I don't know what makes them so sure of themselves.
Don't trust HR
I know this is probably common knowledge but I need to reiterate it once again: HR is not your friend. They're nothing more than marionettes dancing on the strings of the CEO and Board of Directors. If you think they have your best interests in mind... — read more

3M’s healthcare spinoff may not stay in Minnesota, Star Tribune reports Guess will move to Texas
Too many useless managers
Apart from spreading their toxicity, I don't see any middle managers contributing anything to this company. The rumors about layoffs are spreading but there is no indication that they are the ones to be targeted? What do you think?
