Here we go again. Cost cutting to prosperity. When will they learn....smh.
Cost cutting there is an 8% q1 goal.
Why the one week shutdown in February?
@Minnesota Finest.. anyone who works in the SKU creation process knows we are so far away from automation.. some of us wish it could be automated.. however because everything is always behind the 8 ball.. I just can not see 3M succeeding in moving everything to automation.. heck forecasting is still manual in parts of the world.. even the plants, head honchos may dream of the day; however the spend to do so would be well.. more than 3M is willing to spend.. just my 2 cents on the topic.
1 week plant shutdown announced today. 2/6-2/10
Aiming for a plantwide shutdown on the week of Feb 6th, no layoffs yet.
No email yet today and site salaried meeting pospnened from today until next Monday.
“Work your way” becomes “Out your way”
The silence in Hutch right now is deafening.
honestly, wait another couple of month,,the rapid introduction of AI will see over 10,000 more 3M jobs go this year, all you guys that WYW from home be very afraid, wee Pete has it in for you all, you will not be needed once the Twin Cities IT crowd get the knowledge of the full potential of AI .
Unfortunately there’s a better chance of this happening than not happening. If layoffs weren’t anywhere in the talks with the head honchos then they would’ve sent an email out telling everyone relax and your job is safe. They haven’t, and the longer the time goes by the more likely it is that they’re getting all their ducks in a row so when they do announce whatever we’ve been waiting to here they’ll have all their reasoning and who’s, what’s and whys.
"Lights out" manufacturing
Don't need operators in the future
Sad, people making it up as they go. Don't care about the people who work in Hutch, just want to post junk to start a sh@t storm.
It says “there’s too much in Hutch”.
Could that be signaling plant with a future level up of automation ?
Vision is to unload raw materials at the front of the plant, and finished product exits the back of the plant. No lights or windows as only robots make product. Plant control from building 220.
Have a nice day!
