Thread regarding 3M layoffs

There is more to a great job than salary

A great job is more than the salary in an offer letter. When deciding on whether to accept a new job offer you need to have a checklist. Make sure you get all your questions asked before accepting a job offer and don’t be shy about it.

Is the company stable with a good reputation?

What is the company culture like?

What does the benefits package look like?

Am I comfortable with the pay offered?

Does the company have a bonus plan?

Does the position offer room for advancement?

Is the commute to and from work ok?

Am I excited about the position?

How long do I have to accept the position?

What is my expected start date for the position?

What does my daily job responsibilities entail?

How is success in this role measured?

How does the onboarding process work?

What will my weekly schedule be?

Who will I report to on a daily basis?

I just read this in one of the older threads and I thought is should be on the top instead of buried among replies. Posted by @Cjho+1iSRlwMr.

The only concern is that the answer was mainly Yes when I choose 3M and now it is really mainly a No and the company even is not conscious how they deserve.

If the new hires from GE go into the Healthcare spinoff, that will spell doom for Healthcare.

The dystopian world of 3M under schizophrenic managers will never pay well enough for newer hires, whether experienced or not, to stay more than 5 years. People who have been absorbed into the asylum are like frogs who started in cold water and are now being boiled alive but can't see the light. The new hires jump into this culture and quickly jump out of the pan because they know it's boiling and uncomfortable.

I get it that are staying who are just building up a bigger pension, but anyone under 40 needs to know when to leave. It will NOT get better. More hires from GE are making it worse.
