I'm wondering, has this leadership managed to completely destroy this company, or is there a way to undo at least some of the damage? I personally think we're too far gone. Even if you put the best people in charge (and we all know none of the best... — read more

Severance Terms during the spiral
Will severance be cut or reduced if the spiral continues? Will those of us who are loyal end up getting 4 weeks for example after 20 years since we have no cash?
Still a (mostly) local news blackout
I remember when 3m shares were lagging in the late 1990s, post imation, that local papers were running stories about "what is going so wrong at 3m?" Seemed like Desi was over his head, only to lead to GE McNerney, who inflicted forced ranking and six... — read more
CEO huddle?
Did they answer anything? No questions posted. Mike addresses layoffs, but blames “the business” even though all business or functions told by corporate to reduce. I guess he is not running the place after all, but someone called “the businesses”... — read more

Down 10 more dollars in one week. Where is mike?
One would think a guy getting 10 to 20 million per year would have some guts and buy some shares at depressed prices if he really believed in his own company. Once the holders listing is updated, expect to see the big firms selling off what they had... — read more

Frustrated by the hiring process
It has been a while since the last time I was looking for a job, but I can't believe how much things have changed. Why in the world does a company need four or five interviews to determine whether you are a good fit for them? Fifteen years ago, it... — read more
