Thread regarding 3M layoffs

@1vn Boomers are the least group against DEI. And you are another IQ denier...

@118 sigh another boomer complaining about dei. So let me give you an example you'll understand. Jackie Robinson was a dei hire you dunce. He had all the ability to play in the major league but it wasnt until je was 28 that he entered the majors and most people wanted him gone because he had the wrong skin color

@11t Exactly, this is what Indians and any other tribe, except whites, think when hiring manager is from their tribe.

@14j on-site collaboration is a joke.

Right now, I go into the office, put my headphones on and sit on Teams calls with people who aren't located in country.

We can't simultaneously be a multinational company (let alone outsource to India) and that in-person collaboration is what drives innovation.

IEA (International Energy Agency) is beginning to urge governments and businesses to work remotely where possible to try to control oil prices. Will 3M follow? If remote work pops up due to outsourcing, pandemics, wars, energy prices, or any number of world events, it seems difficult to get any kind of on-site collaboration

@118 B..b.b..b.b..but my skin color and dangly bits are the same as the hiring manager. We match, so that must mean I'm better!

I think its time everyone listen to that song....We Are Family

@xd Your stupid assumption is that different outcomes come from discrimination. DEI is pushed to discriminate against people that would get more jobs if you just hire caring only about skills.

But is your assumption that the "non-DEI" candidate is qualified but the "DEI" candidate isn't? One is considered competent until proven otherwise; the other is considered "not competent" until they prove themselves. That's not fair. Look at all the CEOs -- how many were DEI? And yet ...

@w1 Complaining about DEI is complaining about people being hired for anything not related to their skills. You can hire the best or you can have DEI.

@vg complaining about DEI is basically saying you're so talentless that "underqualified" people are able to take your job.

They don't care about productivity, if they would they would not pushed DEI non-sense for more than a decade.

@sk I didn't think it's fair to say that Bill and Anurag are delusional without considering the employees' role in things.

I mean, clearly we're delusional if we think that Bill is planning to do anything other than break apart the company and sell off the scraps.

@se that’s funny and true. Those two live in their own world and need to come out of the clouds where reality of 3M is far different than they are want to believe or listen.

Meanwhile they jet set talking about how everything is great. They don’t care to understand how to fix 3M for real or care about anything but impressing investors and telling each other how great they are. Bet they have Saturday coffee together. It’s too bad this place is dying a slow death.

@s1 Just because Bill is really short and uses Just For Men to feel young doesn't mean he's friendless. Anurag likes him a LOT.

@k9 sure, but not one that's backed by science; you're just finding opinion pieces written by people with no friends or hobbies outside of work.

Of course, scientific reasoning isn't important at 3M anymore, so a righteous, peer-reviewed study isn't persuasive to a washed up, friendless tool like Bill Brown.

I mean, look: the guy had to come out of retirement because he had already watched every episode of General Hospital.

For every article on rto being bad I can find one that says the opposite. Here are two cents… now get to work!

You dont run errands at the office? I do that and pay bills and surf the net all the time. Go to a meeting and then hide!!

Just Quiet quit. Let those directors & above to work hard for their money. They are paid LTI options for a reason.

Haha, he won’t win, just sitting here quietly quitting, after the shocking pay rise discretionary effort has gone. Karma is a bi--h.

BB clearly has a mission as you describe. Raise the pain tolerance with things like RTO, impossible promotions for anyone below JG15, "attendance" reports distributed to managers at 3M Center, a punitive forced ranking system and so on.

BB got away with it for a little while with Wall Street but even they see he's a one trick pony with no plan to grow the company. Stock price has peaked and sliding back under 150, probably back down to 125. (Sell your GESPP asap).

The only winners have been his external hires cronies who get millions and the perks too while inflicting psycho torture on loyal 3Mers.

So freaking sad to see.

Office is the norm. Home office has proved to be full with distractions with pets and toddlers and golf tee times between running errands while everyone is at the office.
