How many DEI managers/specialists are there at 3M now? Were they part of the 6000 let go?

DEI and science advocacy are obviously attempts to reach out for young, creative minds. Makes sense if you want innovation. If you only want to sell off, you don't need these functions anymore.

Don't worry, if sustainability is your problem. 3M is running behind other brands and is just before losing business, because sustainability has not been taken seriously enough. They try to make up ground again. You don't win with making the things like 30 years ago.
If 3M would have lived sustainability for real, there wouldn't be a PFAS issue now.

I cant stand all these sh!tposts about science advocacy and dei. What new products and science are coming out of 3M at this point? Repackaging a 20 yr old tape and putting a + sign on it??

Fire the dei people, the sustainability people and the science advocates and run a business again!!!

People working at the bench level or in production, have zero to little prospects for career growth in 3M. This has been the case for at least 20 years now, imho.

3M is lucky in the sense that is located in an area (upper Midwest) where there has always been a steady stream of high quality technical folks joining the company because of the proximity of top tier universities and also because of Mid West mentality where one is typically ok with working in a place, even though with diminished career prospects, close to home.

People decided to stay put for a long time and put up with upper management shenanigans, since they had more or less a steady Job that was technically challenging.

However, the new bunch of people that 3M had hired in the last 5 to 7 years have really turned the table, by flipping the bird to so called loyalty to 3M.

They know that pay is less, career prospects are low and the company is a sinking ship. Hence the higher than comparable attrition.

3M Science advocacy is meaningless now. If someone is looking for an exciting career in industrial R&D, this is definitely not the place.

These days if you tackled the active sho-ter and held him in a choke hold until security arrived you would be the one arrested!

Why can’t HR offer something useful, such as active sho-ter protection preparedness training?

Without training, I would just hide, but if the sho-ter was small, I would just tackle him and take the g-n away and hold him in a choke hold until security arrived. The security guard in my building is 100 pounds overweight and out of shape.
