IBO's chrome-domed leader just sent a message thanking us all for setting way more goals than everyone else.
Because who the he-l needs to accomplish things when we have administrative BS to fill our time?
Same reason we're being pushed to complete ever single ethics and compliance training within a week of it being announced...
Because actual results don't matter to this dufus; what matters is that we all shut up and comply, even when it's clearly pointless.
IBO is going to be absorbed by IT soon.
I believe this.
I'm in IBO, too, and things are a mess. IT also took $11M of budget items from us this year and many of us have IT counterparts job-shadowing us.
It's especially funny because IBO is going to be absorbed by IT soon.
…and don’t forget all the NEW requirements/goals we are accountable for in 2025, above and beyond our Actual Responsibilities…like MANDATORY participation in and creation of X number of personal and Global Projects. where the number X depends on your group or team apparently.
MANDATORY participation in voluntary 3M learn courses, voluntary 3M Wellness 360 courses (or whatever they called), plus voluntary organized 3M events and meetings. Don’t call it voluntary when employees are VOLUNTOLD that it’s now part of their metrics!
Do it all, even though it’s impossible, even though the greedy Execs continue to pad their income, benefits, severance and retirement packages etc., while robbing the other middling groups of their L1 AND permanently taking away everyday wins…and don’t forget to say THANK YOU to 3M for the fact you still have a job…for now. (And now that you are completely drained, go look for a new job…even though in a bunch of areas the job market is non existent…unless you want to, or can afford to, pay mortgage and bills on a minimum wage (or close to it) job
Here's a goal worth setting. Nominate at least two people every month for everyday wins. Wait! BB and his Minnesota Nasty has "temporarily" suspended the program. Lol!
