So, finally, it happened. First, I want to thank Piotr S. for doing what almost nobody else had the courage to do — breaking the silence and speaking the truth. In that moment, you showed more humanity, more integrity, and honestly more leadership... — read more 

How low can it go further? Pulse survey at this time?

First Genpact, then draining the people transferred there, then knowledge transfer to India, only to at the end not to pay any severance and drag people through a nervous breakdown. Any ex-Genpacter here to contest? OP: @ar+1ktrvkg7w

Yes, it includes St Paul based jobs. Authorization cards have started.

Of course being replaced by ai is not impossible, and obviously scary, yet hilarious to think about our executives regurgitating data organized by ai because they won’t even know what’s incorrect.

How come at the end of 2025 we all got a thank you note saying that we did better than ever and how much they appreciate us, then few month go by and they just sp-t on us? They're reaaaally trying to lose all valued and experienced employees. Is... — read more 

I can't believe something like that is happening in freaking 2026. They don't even try to pretend they care anymore, they're just playing A RECORDED VIDEO with announcement basically saying "fu-k you all". Don't we at least deserve a stupid standard... — read more 

3M GSC Poland is gonna be officially shut down. Of course they did a workaround and they're gonna "move" people instead of firing them so they can save on severances. Philippines and CR are next. They hold crucial processes so I don't think pi----g... — read more 

What is currently happening at 3M in Poland looks very much like a mass layoff carried out without formally calling it a mass layoff. Employees are being transferred to Genpact, where, in practice, their primary role is to transfer knowledge to... — read more 

I report to someone, but after they flattened the hierarchy and got rid of all the middle managers I ended up reporting directly to the director in my org. He's not interested in or capable of leading a team. I never see him except during our... — read more 

think there are three plants in the UK , hearing very strong rumours they are to close by end of 2027, Skelmersdale and Ayecliffe, also Bangor Ireland which is struggling

I don't understand this ever-increasing corporate need to make us all miserable. Being invested would surely make us more creative and productive. But nah. Instead, make us hate our jobs, our managers, and the company. I absolutely don't care about... — read more 

New ESC pres PG with another- "challenge the status quo". invited key note speakers. Keep pushing and pushing up their stock options.

What has been the recent severance packages for those getting laid off? I’m curious about the severance base pay (for below job grade 12’s) and additional pay from number of service years.

Just got an email from our glorious IT overlords, telling us that we're going to shift to the managed services model in the next few months. We can help by being available to ensure knowledge transfer and making sure to update documentation! (And... — read more 

The people who get the most done always seem to end up with even more work. It's gone from recognition to punishment at this point.

I work in the quad, and it seems like everyone is extremely unhappy. Empty eyes as people walk through the skyways. Blank expressions as we struggle to keep our heads above water while doing "more with less." Everyone is overworked... — read more 

UsW outside of site today.

It takes two or three years to really learn a job here because everything's held together with tape and nobody wants to fix anything.

The town hall felt like the usual, with a few stand out moments. Plants legitimately asked how to get a req approved and filled faster and basically got an answer that EVP reviews weekly but other than that, we just don’t know! Also, having EVP say... — read more 

I’ve started applying for jobs outside of 3M. Some of them ask if there is anything to stop me from doing the work (like a non-compete clause or similar). Does anyone know if this is a thing for 3M? I looked on the company portal and of course can’t... — read more 

Wonder why all the SVP-VP-Directors all love to use the phrase PUSH THE BOUNDARIES. What do you keep telling the lower employees to push for??

Minnesota is again suing 3M Co. over contamination from its products containing “forever chemicals,” this time concerning pollution at its Cottage Grove manufacturing facility.

How does quitting work? Do they escort you out or actually let you ride out the 2 weeks?

I've been at several companies over the last 20 years, and I've been at 3M for the last ten. I used to be able to enthusiastically say that 3M was the best place I've ever worked. I guess that's still true, but not the 3M of today. This place... — read more 

Everyone’s stressed, everyone’s worried about where they stand, and collaboration disappears the second pressure goes up. What happened to this place?

because of transition to Cognizant. I am from Costa Rica as a CS rep and my manager mentioned today that there will be no lay offs in the coming future? Majority of my counter parts in MN are doing zero work and most of the projects are put on hold... — read more 

I guess I should start packing my bags?

While it took me a while to accept it, now I know there's no future here. It makes me sad since I've been here for over a decade and I've had some good times working here, but it is what it is.

Heard from area VP that Q2 sales is looking bad and people are starting to pull in Q3 sales numbers. Looks like this is going to spiral down to year end with no actual growth. Second half of year will suffer due to pull in price increases.

During the Q2 Town Hall, a question was asked about our strategy to replace commodity IT roles with external partners. The answer was that we're moving to more of a factory model of labor, and we're going to reduce the need to have specialized 3M... — read more 

Hot Mess town hall today. Will he paint the org all rosy, as if we should be happy to be working under him? Will he conveniently skip over his big project to outsource all?

I do good work for me. Not for the company. They don’t care whether I try or not. There is no reward coming my way. Odds are I will be let go eventually and nobody in management will lose any sleep over it. But I also know myself. If I spent eight to... — read more 

Sold?

Anything happening in sales?

Marketing, quality, operations, VPs, and the contracts teams have all been affected. Positions have been consolidated, and some work has been outsourced overseas. It’s still ongoing, and word around the office is that sales could be next.

It finally happened today: my supervisor told me I was on “the list” for not swiping my badge enough. I pointed out the irony that we’re raising product prices because of higher oil costs, yet somehow there’s never any corresponding increase in... — read more 

Heard people will start getting notified from May 18th in the US. Also heard the entire IT in Costa Rica will be shut down? Does anyone has any other info.

Any offer must be approved personally by Paul Gallagher, I thought he was meant to remove layers of approval...?
