I saw someone actually posted an answer to the Employee Survey telling management to come to this site to see how people really feel about working for 3M. Let’s make an “Executive Summary” for them in this thread.

I'm actually so happy and relieved to be laid off. The uncertainty was ki-ling me ever since I heard 'transition' during last year's IT town hall. Now I can get my severance and move on
Lol, I used to be a college professor.
Bad professors didn't look at ratemyorofessor.com -- bad leaders don't look here.
EEOC - retaliation, age discrimination, unsafe and unhealthy work environment…
When the last LTIP that was paid out to JG 13 and 14 finally vests in Q1 2027, there will likely be a mass exodus of talented folks in the mid career track.
Why stay put in a dead beat company with little opportunity for career progression.
When pension is paid for the last time in 2028, many experienced folks will retire. They have no further incentive to continue.
SIBG: specifically PSD is F-ing over the salesforce! We are sick of the bureaucratic bullsh-t! You’ve literally given us a pay cut and told us to just be happy and smile! we practically held this company up during Covid and you guys treat us like absolute cr-p! You expect us to do so much with so little but yet you pour all your attention into BS pipelines that are unrealistic and eternally flawed. Some advice… Stop worrying about trying to make the pipeline look pretty and actually give us what we need to keep the sales coming in. Our leaders in PSD have practically done everything to prevent us from boosting our number up seriously…. Everything. Failure is primarily resting at the top of SIBG with the short slide to the top of PSD.
I want them to know that I know 3M psychopaths in power don't care about people and only use them as a means to their own empowerment. That they wouldn't care a tiny bit about any sentiment posted here, because they don't have hardware for a chip called "empathy" in their deficient brains.
So I don't care about their shareholders, townhalls, surveys and any bs coming out of their mouths.
we know that Safety is number one priority in the factories. but i think it is getting overboard. The leadership is now pushing so much paper work onto the factories working level by making them write numerous procedures and conducting multiple audits. This is getting ridiculous. I wonder how many factories truly comply to it. and it certainly doesnt help when factories are short of people.
Morale is at Rock bottom by the way.
@an 100% agree with all of this! Sorry to hear you were let go. I hope you find a job at a company that appreciates the employees.
As a recently laid off 3M employee, my thoughts are that the ongoing rounds of restructuring, expanded workloads, and recent policy shifts (I.e. pension freezes, elimination of long term incentives for all but directors and above) have created significant organizational frustration and burnout. Declining morale poses a real risk to NPI acceleration, talent retention, customer satisfaction, and overall productivity.
To help protect performance while supporting current employees:
- Workload Rationalization: Conduct job-level audits to eliminate low-value processes, red tape involved with decision making, and redundant reporting before expanding individual scopes.
- RTO Flexibility: Give department leaders the ability to tailor in-office requirements to their team's specific operational needs.
- Transparent Engagement: Increase direct executive dialogue regarding internal operational health and the milestones with dates of our transformation initiatives.
3M’s success relies on the dedication and creativity of its workforce. Addressing these realities with transparency will strengthen alignment, retain talent, and move 3M in the right direction. Not doing these things will negatively impact 3M's ability to grow, retain customers and employees alike, and ultimately the share price which seems to be leadership's primary concern.
I want Bill to know that we know he’s trying to get us all to quit by making it su-k to work here. Or, I guess the other possibility is that he absolutely su-ks at his job.
