Rumors are swirling about 3M taking away Work your Way. Anyone able to confirm management will take away yet another benefit?

People work hard when they see their work rewarded.
The work ethic back in the day at 3M was incredible. People would arrive bright eyed and ready in the production plants and labs every day at 7 AM. Work hard till 5 and then go hang out at Tartan for 9 holes of golf or the bar and get sloshed. People even met their future significant other in this mental state. Then...wash rinse repeat. Back in the next day at 7.
Now, it's the Price is Right followed by 45 minutes naps after lunch. Inge must be so proud.
Good luck work from homers, your career has effectively ended!! Go slack somehwhere else
Another benefit only part of the company has. Quit your complaining about a selective benefit that does not affect a good chunk of the company.
Oh my God, I can't believe I have to actually GO IN?!?! What kind of oppression is this?!?!
Was just told by 7 different people 8 days a week, no exceptions
Was just told by 3 different people 2 days per week, no exceptions
OK, my guess is Jan. 2.
Was just told by 2 different people 3 days per week, no exceptions
Ditch WYW - improve productivity
In the corporate labs, parking lots are full. Yes, people are using WYW, but most folks that I know are on campus 5 days a week.
Brown will save millions by implementing a minimum 3 days in the office, maybe even 4. A few thousand or more will leave and he won't have to pay the severance.
Gibbons will take the credit for this "strategy" dreamed up by Kearney of course.
Go Pete Go!
R&D should be at least 3 days a week. Nobody in the lab these days - no wonder we aren't growing.
I hope so. I would love to get let go. Pls.
Paying people to go to work? Weird
So I am finally nailing the show case show down prices and they think I am going back to the office? Think not. I will show them, and quit.
Why should I have to pay for gas to go to work ? Child care now? Better be a big fat raise and a large screen in my office for watching Price Is Right.
I've also heard BB wants more people on site. Sales Leaders told their people it will be voluntary unless it doesn't meet his expectations.
If you don't want the publicity of yet another layoff .....
I’ll leave if they take away wyw. It su-ks because I like what I do and the products, but this would be a deal breaker for me
A coworker shared recently that her trusted "source" said BB wants us back in the office at least 2-3 days a week.
WYW was the last thing keeping me at 3M. Remove that and I'm gone. With the number of hours I've been putting in working remote, they'll need to backfill with 3. Congrats, 3M, on your productivity decrease.
Haven't heard anything
The work your way needs to be axed
Am hearing same thing-JG16+ required to be hybrid 3 days/week. Wonder that that will work for distant remotes?
Can't confirm anything, but if you look at job postings virtually all of them are hybrid now; very few fully remote.
