Last year, the return on the US pension assets were only $99 million and pension payments were $823 million per 3M 10-K. At this rate, our pension will be in the 60% funded range in 3-4 years. Pension cash flows look unsustainable. Why would 3M HR... — read more 

Put in my two weeks notice and I was just wondering if I will still receive my AIP since it counts as last year's salary (right?).

Can anyone provide advice on how to manage the always growing number of overlapping meetings? Also, it seems the norm is to accept hundreds of unread emails each month and move on. Has it always been this way?

How is SAP implementation going? Still using PeopleSoft too? Must be wasteful and costly to run multiple systems. Must be nearing the 10 year mark. Is there another new completion date? Who’s accountable for this debacle? Are leaders being measured... — read more 

I do need the job and a paycheck and I want the stock price to rise to eke out every last bit of my LTIP before it gets shut off. I have my children’s education, medical bills, and care for my parents that I need to pay for. But I also want it all... — read more

Yesterday I saw a post and a number of comments related to 3M cost savings by cutting employees with pension plans before they get to 55. This morning those posts are gone. Why?

Pension Plan assets can be tapped for stock-buyback. So I think they are going to start firing anyone pension eligible right before they vest. Firing someone 6 months early can save the company a ton over time and would create opportunity for... — read more 

Bill Brown strongly alluded in today’s CEO call that he’s “bound” by the White House to abide by the executive order to dissolve 3M’s DEI program, but “make no mistake it doesn’t change who we are.” In fact it does because it says 3M is willing to... — read more 

It's going to be all about how we're moving to a new system if goal-setting. We should all choose SMART goals that ladder up through our org charts to align with bigger priorities.

Not looking for legal advice here, but has anyone recently witnessed or heard of 3M pursuing legal action for non compete violations? Specifically for employees on the business side and below director level. Additionally, has anyone heard of someone... — read more 

Has been a month since this initiative has been put on hold. Wondering if employees have stopped appreciating their colleagues for a job well done nowadays? Or people just don't care anymore?

“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 

What happened? Did he get axed for performance or did the PSD leader not like him since he was 3Mer?

Seems many of the executives are heading for the exit door for their stocks..

Will 3M cancel its DEI programs? Thoughts?

I heard a rumor that the design team is getting cut. Anyone know anything?

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?
