Thread regarding 3M layoffs

It’s more than just DEI…

Comparing the cached public facing website from December vs the current one, not only is every mention of diversity and inclusion gone, but ESG (environment, social justice, governance) is also gone, the page about women in STEM gone, the State of Science Index is gone… this is a science company and they are now taking down claims of CLIMATE CHANGE?

There’s a strong possibility much of this content was from the “content factory” of the mid-teens. Corp had a media leader, gave the direction to be a “news hub” and put out acres of content that no one cared about or wanted to read.

It’s actually not that. The web team are deleting a big amount of the website that gets no traffic at all ready for a system upgrade. They’ve been doing it for months now. The Corporate pages haven’t had owners for years now and have been full of out of date stuff. It’s just bad timing. Lots of business pages will go too.

It's like corps are assimilating to the right-wing gov't so they can be on the wrong side of history. Wouldn't 3M love if PFAs could continue poisoning the planet rather than phasing them out?

Being able to read and understand scientific text is a political thing nowadays,

We can't have just any tube wandering over to our website and having their point brain as--ulted by scientific fact; it would cause doublethink between that and whatever Dear Leader tells them to believe instead.
