Didn’t expect that reorg affected that high level.
Management-by-fear is not working
You can keep threatening people, but eventually the threats lose their effect. Once employees stop believing they have anything left to lose, motivation goes with it. My entire team is now completely checked out. Find better managers, Solventum, or... — read more
Why moving pay to bi-monthly
What is the reason to move our pay to bi-monthly?
Very Quiet
Anyone else feeling this? Calm before the storm?
Is everyone really required to have camera's on all the time?
I'm trying to figure out if it's just my group or it really is the entire company. I was forwarded an email from an entry level manager and the PDF attached claims to be company wide, but I didn't see an email from Bryan or anything. Just wondering... — read more
Layoffs?
Has anyone heard any rumors or something coming?
Is taking a new job with HIS safe right now?
Especially if it is an international division? Not sure if it is worth to leave my current job.
How many people have been laid off this week from the NOVA project?
Thank you all for working over the 4th of July holiday!! Your reward...job elimination before the Labor Day weekend! Solventum doesn't have any more class than 3M.
Severance?
Can anybody share what the package looks like? Is health coverage provided outside of the first month?
Laid off today
Part of nova. Laid off.
Get Out
When what you hear from the CEO is completely different from what he is instructing his directs to do, it’s time to go.
Will HIS have Layoffs due to potential spinoff?
I am concerned if private equity will by HIS off of Solventum ever since they announced the split.
Where are we now?
Is there anything coming next week?
Lawyers out
I don’t usually feel sorry for lawyers, but the latest fun at this place is now an inexplicable reshuffling of lawyers. But not really reshuffling—firing good lawyers for no reason instead of giving them a shot at the new job titles they’re totally... — read more
Why?
Been here 11 years and other than Covid this is the worst things have ever been. Moving too quickly before making corrections. Its causing burn out and patients are suffering. So many mid to upper level management positions and not enough feet on the... — read more
What’s going on
Bryan has the energy of a used car salesman. He seems very untrustworthy and incompetent. They just talk a lot without saying anything substantive. What is happening with the company? What is HISs future? Why do they even do quarterly calls to tell... — read more
Well c'mon, time to talk about that announcement.
Any HIS want to share? Any previous P&F want to tell us how that went?
Never-ending supply issues
People keep getting promoted and more leaders are added yet we can't consistently deliver products. Who is in charge of supply chain? How about we invest in some leadership there? How many reps have lined up evaluations or Go Live dates only to... — read more
Unqualified management
Every new manager we get seems less qualified than the last. It's like they're hiring for incompetence.
Who would have thought?
Remember when we were all sure 3M was going belly up and we tried to jump ship to solventum? Well, joke is on all of us. 3M stock has appreciated 88% since spin off and SOLV 11%. S&P is up 44% during sane time frame. 3M Healthcare was a crown jewel... — read more
Chris Barry gets $11M severance
I had the impression that Chris was offered the position of next CEO, understanding that to decline meant he walked himself out the door. I guess it counted as an "involuntary termination without cause," which is worth $11M in severance. Barry’s... — read more
RSU Values JG14-17
Does anyone know what the typical value of RSU grants are once you hit JG14 and then 15, 16, and 17? I’ve heard $25k annual grants starting at JG14 but unsure if that’s correct? Thanks for the insight!
Layoffs?
I’ve seen so many LinkedIn posts this week from employees leaving. Is there a layoff as many seem too young to be ‘retiring’.
Anyone else very happy NTM is cancelled….
Best news yet! The fact they spend millions on that smoke and mirror fest never made sense to me… This place is the titanic!
Trian wants exec team to stop flying to the office

The Takeover & Replacement In Progress.
And nobody is doing anything about this. This is horrible for the country and every single one of us, in progress at Solventum right now just like in 1000s of companies across the country. I am unsure why everyone is so blind and we are selling... — read more
30 new hires in HIS, 15 from that country
50% of new hires are from that country, American new grads cannot find a job, fk.
Q2 Global Townhall Motivational Video
Anyone else take issue with the ‘motivational’ video shown at the last town hall? Our CEO really woke up today and said, “You know what will inspire the team? Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas.” So now all of us watched a heavyweight upset from 1990... — read more
Trian Calls on Solventum's Board to Create Value, not executive compensation

Leaving Solventum
What happened to management doing the right thing and being transparent when potential reorganization was in the mix? After more than a decade, I recently retired only to find out that my position was changing and becoming 2 positions. Had they... — read more
Solventum = Zimmer Biomet 2.0
1.) Hire exec. team of highly compensated "friends" to virtue signal 2.) Create us vs 'them' environment 3.) Have numerous employee indoctrination meetings (receive medals) 4.) Spin-off non core businesses 5.) Quarterly lay-offs of 'them' 6.)... — read more
2nd Birthday party spectacle
When Brian got on stage, I heard someone say ‘what kind of BS today?’ It’s a good way to not have to say anything or face an audience unhappy with their raise when you hand out $9k in cash randomly. Is this normal?
Layoffs after layoffs
They keep the most incompetent people I don’t see how this company will survive. Epic is taking all of their clients. This company su-ks a-s!
Worst culture of all time
This is the kind of company where low-effort “people leaders” can work with you for a year and start misspelling your name as a way to depersonalize people and signal hierarchy and people are terrified to go take a 20 minute walk break. One of the... — read more
Who is the parking lot Nazeee?
Parked at Eagan this morning for the first time and some woman came out blathering "You can't park there!". New employee, what do I know? I laughed at her and went to do the job I was hired for. Went out to my car to go home and there was a typed... — read more
Solventum formalized 1 April 2024 not 2023
Description states 2023, it was 2024.
