As an ex HCB sales person who got "stuck" at 3M I still follow all my old European colleagues on Linkedin. Life looks amazing at Solventum! It's seems like unlimited travel and many chances to get together and meet in person at amazing high end... — read more 

Due to restructuring in Ortho, aka giving all the jobs over seas to Costa Rica, all the TX design team, clinical advisors, DC and FMQC, US based employees, are being laid off effective in March. Hard to say official numbers but it's upwards of 40... — read more 

Sort of boring and lackluster. Hard to feel inspired about anything. I guess there is the Americas kick off to look forward to.

Solventum just lost their star researcher and patent producer, I noticed she’s been sharing jobs at other health companies on LinkedIn the past month for other Medical Surgical researchers and engineers that were all laid off in the last month. I... — read more 

Just came on board. Dang, what a bunch of sad sacks moping around here. That's too bad. Here in Eagan and in the old 3M site it's like a morgue. Nobody says "Hi". They are afraid of their own shadow. Oh, well. Maybe some new blood can liven this... — read more 

Does anyone have an idea the final count of folks impacted across the entire layoff period (October - Jan)?

Sh*t is happening today.

Who is feeling like this is a preferred workplace? What is leadership doing to make this a preferred workplace? It seems none of the employees from 3M are part of the future. The goal is to replace everyone with better employees and bring them in... — read more 

What is the new sick time policy going into effect in 2026?

I thought on 3M's previous 5-point scale, 4's and 5's had a quota (you couldn't give more than they told you, basically some % of your headcount), and 1's and 2's were a corrective action tool (not mandated in a group). Is there a forced quota on... — read more 

Has anyone in the October 29 Layoff recieved their lump sum yet? Official last day would be November 29th.

It is so heartbreaking reading these comments when is the next layoff, are we next?...this is honestly no way to live. Instead of being under the golden handcuffs...step outside your comfort zone and look for an alternative job! This is no way to... — read more 

I am interested in whether people are thinking of joining up. My thoughts are that the company doesn’t feel very stable, the morale is low and I’m not really sure if growing the company is the real long term plan of our leadership. I still believe... — read more 

I don't understand HK as COO. If not due to actual incompetence and misconduct, why invite the optics? 1) Corporate Pillar: be a top quartile performer. Via LinkedIn, Heather was Baxter President of Global Business Units and Americas (2019-2023)... — read more

Right?

Just curious if anyone is actually considering legal action against this company

So I had cause to re-watch Office Space over the weekend. The studio released this movie in 1999. It focuses on the corporate absurdities that permeated cubicle life in the late 1990s, with the lead-up to Y2K as a backdrop. I’ve seen the movie... — read more 

We do layoffs every holiday season. You will be laid off eventually. I'd estimate half of you will be laid off by the summer

The reality of SOLV financials is gruesome. Revenue just north of 8 billion. Debt north of 5 billion. Bryan is a grossly incompetent and overpaid clown but he was dealt a bad hand thanks to Mike Roman. How 3M saddled a HC spin less than 25 percent of... — read more 

Seems like there may be another round this week? Any news?

It's about time

Bad news for med surg this week. Does anyone know the full count of people let go? Other parts of the Company too?

Poor performance, multiple waves of layoffs, running the company to the ground. Bryan Hanson should be sued by Solventum employees, not paid $40 million. Please consult a good employment attorney to explore this option.

Bryan appears to either be simple-minded on his approach to running SOLV (into the ground) or being directed by a higher power or deity who has no idea how to run a HC company (Peltz). Either way, he has once again proven that the GE style (Welch... — read more 

Two teammates we lost are both in their 50s. It could just be a coincidence, of course, but I have to say it wouldn't surprise me.

Asking because we're getting nothing our manager. Total silence.

It is late fall in the United States. The leaves are changing, and the air has turned crisp. We begin to prepare for the holidays with family and friends. Christmas decorations come down from the shelves in the attic or garage. We make our homes—and... — read more 

Last day 12/31… anyone feel like this is pointing to something larger?

Hearing lots of rumors… anyone have any info?

More layoffs are coming tomorrow… Update your resumes.

The first value listed on the vaunted Solventum mission slide is Put People First. I don't get it. How can senior leadership say with a straight face that they "put people first" when they so obviously do not? They could change it to "Put People at... — read more

Has anyone gotten anymore recent updates on potential upcoming layoffs?

This group is closer to penny wize, dollar foolish than most. Here's why. Remember all the times BH mentioned de-layering and reducing decision making authority? The exact opposite is true. I know this as I look at the list of job grades of... — read more 

SP500 up 20 percent YOY. SOLV down 6 percent YOY. Looks like Nellies plan to "unleash" value from SOLV by spinning off filtration and chainsawing off 1000s of jobs is a smashing success (not!) I guess adding layers of outside hires at VP levels... — read more 

This place is hopeless. To much politics going around. Managers are firing local employees and recruiting people in India. This is such a shame.

What adds insult to injury? My last day after well over 30 years is Nov 20, no two day Thanksgiving pay. Max severance is 182 days, only getting severance pay for less than 1/2 of my tenure. C suite automatically get 2 full years... — read more 

With so many layoffs without reason or replacements- none of these roles are actually “useless” they’re needed - the existing employees keep picking up the slack. It feels like the boiling a frog story, we just have gotten too used to doing more and... — read more
