Thread regarding 3M layoffs

A new ironic film from 3M

While laying off 2500 of its manufacturing skilled labor, 3M is promoting a DOCUMENTARY it made about the importance of skilled labor. No wonder the company can’t hit sales quotas. They’re too absorbed in making ironic documentaries to enter at the Sundance Film Festival…

Is everyone there completely tone deaf?

They push this on LinkedIn:

“At 3M we are committed to advocating for technical trades and excited for the impact our new documentary “SKILLED,” making its debut at officially sanctioned 2023 Sundance Film Festival event, can have in shaping public perception and ‘taking a swipe at the stigmas’ around these vital #careers - high-paying #jobs that are in high demand. #3MSkilled”

Isn’t Sam S. (formerly from Target) the SVP of Communications?

I agree!!! No idea who runs the communications at 3M but being so proud of creating a documentary on an amazing job and skill that is required and needed they go ahead and are going to cut 2500 hard working manufacturing jobs!!! How ironic...give your head a shake and maybe next time create a documentary it should be on how to ruin a company in 5 years and still have a job! Bunch of clowns running 3M now...what a shame and is going to be an end or an era pretty soon.

I did stick my head up a bulls @ss to take a good look at a T-bone steak, rather than take Mike Romans word for it.

in a husky deep voice, " a story of loss, greed, loss, lack of transparency, starring Dame Judi Dench as Mike Roman and Colin Kaepernick as Monish Patolawala, and in his first big role, Warwick Davis as Wee Pete Gibbons, breaking box office records, sorry share drop records, in all good theaters and some bad ones too.

It's smoke and mirrors, just like 3P, STEM, DIE, etc.

This is the same group of "leaders" who bragged about embracing "Compassionate Capitalism" with the Pope!

All words, no action.

Self gratification and personal enrichment is the only goal.

Peons like technicians and lower level engineers need not matter.
