For a long time now, 3M have been rewarding under-qualified and under performing managers.
All of the UK manufacturing plants are run by the same people who just keep moving around, making mistakes then getting sidestepped to another role.
Gorseinon has almost gone , Bangor and Atherstone are being run into the ground, most believe deliberately.

3m has never been great at developing good people leaders. This from an 80s hire. But the earlier leaders were at least truly caring and not incompetent. Just so so. Now you have some kind of self promoting cult of passive aggressive people who talk nicely to you but only look out for no 1.
