I noticed someone posted interesting chat in this Old thread “DoNot-Join - NewCo Healthcare” so brought this forward. See original here - Post ID: @5bzy+1mQNg42X

It seems pretty obvious what has happened thus far:
Remainco told the HCBG "Pick the employees you want to take with you" Then when the time was up to send out the list the HCBG said "We want these employees" and then Remainco said "WHAT?!!! you need to take more! Take another week and choose some more before we send out the announcement".
Then, after that happened, Remainco told the HCBG "You need to take even more people" for whatever reason and this is why the "appointments" happened which we have been told are mostly not optional i.e. you may not have a job at 3M if you do not accept the appointment. This is a great way to force people to just quit and then not have to pay unemployment benefits, and it is working. People are giving up and finding jobs outside.
The appointments are basically being done because Remainco wants to get rid of more people instead of laying them off (and paying the unemployment benefits) and the HCBG has already passed on them twice, but are given no choice to not take them.
I still dont understand why anyone would want to take a job in Spinco - That list of the products that contain PFAS has a lot of them that are from the HCBG, so how does that make them immune to those lawsuits?
How many people would even interview for a job when the posting is:
Wanted: Employee for company. Company doesnt have a CEO. Company doesnt have a Name. Company doesnt have a location. The job has unknown benefits and unknown retirement package. The company has never operated without help from a parent entity. The company is planning on changing how it runs its business from how it has operated under the old parent company. And your role in the new company may not end up being needed.
So much uncertainty. Who thinks this is a good option? I'm sticking with the devil I know for now.
