I hate what's being done to it. I used to be proud working here. Not anymore.

Just the bottom line. We're treated as items and the company as a carcass.

Because that always worked out for others, right? Id--ts. We're being "led" by id--ts.

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 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

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

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

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

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
