“We’re watching it very, very carefully, but we have a lot of operational levers that we can pull,” Brown said in an interview. “We have a lot of factories in the U.S. and could bring some of that product back to the U.S.” Hopefully management holds... — read more 

How long they expected you stay after notice? No notice period req in employee agreement.

A few days ago, this post about BB, layoffs, morale, etc. was added to a very old post. Very relevant to today's 3M. History is repeating itself. === I worked at L3H and knew people with longer tenure (25+ years) who loved it there until this... — read more 

Got into some discussions with directors who shared their conversations with VPs. Got a feeling that there will be a much higher focus on impact than on activities for performance reviews. Likely going back to 1-5 instead of 1-3s, and a higher... — read more 

I‘m OUS and in JG13, got confused with Manager titles. Is JG13 already considered as manager or is this from 14 and up? I might be wrong, but feels like that I’m „manager“ (based on my local 3M paperwork) but actual manager titles are JG14 and above... — read more

I can’t take this anymore. Getting laid off would be a relief right now. The constant stress, the politics, the incompetence, it’s all draining me. I’ve never been this miserable at work. The toxic atmosphere around here is unbearable. If they did... — read more 

Keep, record and document any and all DEI communications! It is not legal in the United States to hire based on ethnicity.

Nice, motivating post on 3M Go today about how we're going to speed up the hiring process by posting all roles externally at the same time we post them internally. Not that it matters, since we're to busy cutting to ever hire.

Who else is worried that we might be seeing major layoffs next month?

I got no training, no awareness, nobody explained my anything about PLM but I'm forced to use it. Unfriendly environment, new windows continuously popping up. Its excruciating.

Now the latest and greatest from the Mensa minds of 3M Engineering....the Q1 travel budget has been cut by 50%. We now need VP approval to do our jobs. To quote Tommy Boy.....Holy Schnikes! Hey Tireman.....how are we supposed to make the 60 yr old... — read more

Does 3M have different pay bands for different geographical markets within the US?

Why do companies do this? It's hard enough without having to deal with so many job openings that are never meant to be filled.

Heard they gonna revamp the reward points system? Another failure initiative?

I’m swamped. Over the last year, we’ve lost so many team members. Some of them were let go, others were smart enough to jump ship. Instead of hiring help, their tasks got dumped on the rest of us, and we were already running on fumes. Now it’s so... — read more
