Remember how the results from the VoE came back, and they promised to discuss them with us?
Is that ever going to happen, it are they just ignoring them again this year?

@c5 I think many people’s problems actually stem from him and Corporate polices in general, though. My managers are fine, any pain seems to come from his direction.
@qw So what are you doing about it? Have you spoken to anyone?
The results were horrible and they are hiding them Procurement alone was in the 40’s participation and 60’s for satisfaction.
Search for Voice of Employee on 3M Go, you'll find some of the org-specific results and plans.
We have a maintenance manager who likes to talk sh!t and uses threatening tones. Sorry but it dont work on me. At most we all sink together.
dont worry about surveys...worry about the people you work with...these are not your real friends
@g4 what happens if my boss is still an untrustworthy snake and there are still no opportunities for advancement in a year?
They have the results filtered down to the supervisor level. And anyone who has 5 or more respondents will be expected to have an improvement plan. In other words everyone will be tracked to improve the satisfaction score.
I don’t mean to sound crass, but why do any of you care? We have known for decades that the completion of the survey was tracked and that the responses were not anonymous. We have equally known that management juices the questions so that the results are always a little skewed in the favor of the company. If the results do indeed look bad, and they usually do, then management just ignores them completely. The exercise is purely to give HR something to do and nothing more. 3M doesn’t care about any of us at all, and they haven’t in a very long time and will never care about any employee ever again. If you get run over by a car they cheer one less employee and immediately ask a contractor to take your job. Do not deceive yourself that they actually will do anything to improve your situation or your opinion. What do they finally have to do to convince you that you are nothing other than a natural resource to be exploited and then thrown away when they are done with you? The RTO mandates, which are clear discrimination, should have been enough for most smart people to realize. Sorry to be so blunt, but it is the truth.
The survey already shows 3M trailing peer companies by double digits on “I would recommend this organization as a great place to work” and “People are rewarded according to their job performance.”
Imagine what the numbers might look like if employees truly believed the survey was anonymous.....perhaps 30 or 40 points below peers. But no need to worry: the feedback is confidential, the follow-up action groups are on it, and the results are sure to improve any day now.
BB is smart. They are forcing this annual survey, and demand all supervisors to improve the yearly results. Ultimately they want to push up the favorable scores to 90ish. Then it shows that 3M is a company well liked by employees.
I think the results are looking bad. The leaders are trying to sugarcoat it.
