Thread regarding 3M layoffs

@Bennie Hill

Can confirm that benefit will no longer exist.

I have 11 years in. I only stay because of the amount of Vacation I have accured. I don't want to start over from scratch. If I was only a few years in I would jump ship for sure.

The retiree medical referenced is a small stipend of about $200 per month that 3M provides retirees for post medicare supplemental insurance. This stipend is over and above the lump sum benefit handed to pre medicare retirees to buy open market insurance. If I was a betting person I'd lay odds that this $200 stipend is going bye bye.

What is the retiree medical people keep posting. That stipend at the end that gets pen1/2 folks to Medicare? Don’t kid yourself, that’s not a giant pile of cash. Lifetime retiree medical disappeared two decades ago.

Fist bump buddy!

In other posts, Bert was coherent. Must be off the wagon again.

Don't mind the first response ( @lac post signed as Bert), that's just a copy-paste from from 3Ms webpage (about 3M Forward).

And there are the middle managers, doing the horse work for upper management and drinking the cool aid

I'm always skeptical of people who talk about how much better it is elsewhere but keep coming back to the 3M forum to talk about 3M.

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Hey Bert... where's Ernie? Reason I ask is that you must have learned how to "copy and paste" as part of Sesame Street. Please know how obvious it is to everyone that you are regurgitating these statements from some 3M corporate presentation / PR statement. Would prefer something original and honest.

I have no clue what Bert is on but it sounds like a cry for help.

Bert is changing the world with the forever chemicals pollution and an extensive usage of private jets. Join that Green.. organisation that picks what is greener depending on the political agenda. Save the planet and praise the rainbow!

Not sure what Bert is talking about.

Everyone has reasons for staying or leaving any firm they work for. To each his own.
