I mean the name alone solventum reminds me of something my grandfather has to take to keep things moving with momentum…
I’m so outta here… place is garbage from top to bottom….
Guess the Trian letter is getting more local coverage, but there's nothing new here. It's the same letter they published in April.
One thing I found interesting:
- Trian calls out spread out executive team and travel on page 5 of the letter
- on pg25 they lay out which states different execs live in
- Viva Engage was recently plastered with massive smiles of the Colorado exec moving to MN. I wondered if he was a sacrificial lamb: high enough to get called out in an activist investor letter, but low enough he was forced to move (vs. all the others who won't). Aside: do people really know this guy like a friend or something? The comments were so gushy about how great it is he's moving to MN. Literally who cares?
