Poor performance, multiple waves of layoffs, running the company to the ground. Bryan Hanson should be sued by Solventum employees, not paid $40 million. Please consult a good employment attorney to explore this option.
SOLV layoffs. Strategy. Stock ROI. Growth. You can't have them all
Bryan appears to either be simple-minded on his approach to running SOLV (into the ground) or being directed by a higher power or deity who has no idea how to run a HC company (Peltz). Either way, he has once again proven that the GE style (Welch... — read more
Was age discrimination involved?
Two teammates we lost are both in their 50s. It could just be a coincidence, of course, but I have to say it wouldn't surprise me.
Are people being laid off or not?
Asking because we're getting nothing our manager. Total silence.
A Late Fall Tradition
It is late fall in the United States. The leaves are changing, and the air has turned crisp. We begin to prepare for the holidays with family and friends. Christmas decorations come down from the shelves in the attic or garage. We make our homes—and... — read more
Just got my notice….
Last day 12/31… anyone feel like this is pointing to something larger?
Layoffs tomorrow?
Hearing lots of rumors… anyone have any info?
Layoffs Coming Tomorrow…
More layoffs are coming tomorrow… Update your resumes.
Put People First?
The first value listed on the vaunted Solventum mission slide is Put People First. I don't get it. How can senior leadership say with a straight face that they "put people first" when they so obviously do not? They could change it to "Put People at... — read more
Transform for the Future... uncannily similar to 3M SAP promises

LIES
This group is closer to penny wize, dollar foolish than most. Here's why. Remember all the times BH mentioned de-layering and reducing decision making authority? The exact opposite is true. I know this as I look at the list of job grades of... — read more
Bryan (and Peltz) laying off the wrong people
SP500 up 20 percent YOY. SOLV down 6 percent YOY. Looks like Nellies plan to "unleash" value from SOLV by spinning off filtration and chainsawing off 1000s of jobs is a smashing success (not!) I guess adding layers of outside hires at VP levels... — read more
Fired
This place is hopeless. To much politics going around. Managers are firing local employees and recruiting people in India. This is such a shame.
GREED
What adds insult to injury? My last day after well over 30 years is Nov 20, no two day Thanksgiving pay. Max severance is 182 days, only getting severance pay for less than 1/2 of my tenure. C suite automatically get 2 full years... — read more
Understaffed teams and more layoffs
With so many layoffs without reason or replacements- none of these roles are actually “useless” they’re needed - the existing employees keep picking up the slack. It feels like the boiling a frog story, we just have gotten too used to doing more and... — read more

Townhall Nonsense
At the global town hall held on October 22, a very courageous employee rose to ask the first question. Stating that he "was not a VP yet," he proceeded to ask Bryan Hanson to explain the rationale behind adding additional layers to the ranks of... — read more
Wish they hadn't spun it off
I'm Former 3M/Solv employee. 3M has been doing so well - Look at their Q3 results! They are growing faster than SOLV and expanding margins. SOLV just constantly seems to downsize and make excuses. It is hard to manage these complex portfolios -... — read more
November 21 last day -announcement next week
Company must be falling apart, they want to make sure people don't get paid for Thanksgiving the next week (monsters) Got to ensure BH gets all $40M

No RTO = real estate sale ahead of Or-l Care divestiture
Great way to be able to get rid of assets and ensure no entanglements for the big groups ahead of Dental being split out. A good idea that we’ll all appreciate for not having to go back, but don’t think it’s for the reasons stated. — read more
What is going on with the P&F/SPSD Sale? I now see that drinking water will remain with Solventum???
Anyone else having Values Acceleration Workshops forced upon them?
Our last group meeting was taken over by a "values acceleration workshop," where leaders walked us through a deck of Solventum values, shared stories related to these values, and wanted (half-forced) those in the room to do the same. Is this... — read more
Round 2 of layoffs coming?
Looks like round 2 of layoffs are coming? Heard that in Asia they want to consolidate roles in APAC and GCA together... sounds like another wave of layoffs might be impending

To prep for the next round of layoffs - now: Review the company name on your paycheck & compare with your (US) Secretary of State site. Your “company” is likely run by a 3M employee/lawyer. 1b) record all phone calls w/ hr & your manager on... — read more
Win with excellence- or cash in with hypocrisy?
Hanson speaks of the corporate pillar of winning with excellence. He said, “We want to win in the marketplace, but we have to do it the right way.” This begs the question, how can accepting compensation that is 40% higher than the closest med tech... — read more

Nova deployment
What's our chance of Nova deployments happening on time with the new svp in town? feels like totally off the rails with everyone going in all directions. Good thing our ceo and cio get paid as much as they do...
Fu-k your 2.25% raise
This raise is a slap in the face to our hard work. I bet the CEO got a much higher raise. Fu-k you and fu-k this.
AIP very low
The AIP payment I received was almost less than 1/3 of the projected amount. I wasn't expecting it to be this low. Anyone else?
Recent exec departure to Zimmer
ERP leader went to greener pastures at Zimmer? An omen of things to come?
Anyone else disappointed with the new Eagan building?
Leaders keep saying that we will need to change the way we work, yet they have dedicated offices and a board room in a building where everyone else will be crammed in like sardines. No cafeteria, no fitness space, tiny desks with no storage, really... — read more
