Higher-paid leaders have also been removed. There seems to be a clear trend of replacing experienced, older employees with younger, less experienced hires who cost less. The current leadership has created a toxic environment, and the company appears to be in decline.

It's Not You, It's Your Job
Back in the day, people got laid off and then hired back. It was a worker shuffle. A new person would join while another left, but the top brass always stayed because the product wasn't going anywhere.

Don't stay in useless legacy projects. RUN. If not
Expect more layoffs ...
TIREMAN GONE, HONEYMAN GONE, TIME TO SEARCH OUTSIDE OF 3M AGAIN
With Honeyman gone, some 3Mer's might be interested in the honeyman position. 3M leadership will go outside of 3M because 3Mers are viewed as incompetent, good worker bees but not leadership material.
