Mike and Monish are the only 2 remaining 3M employees. The plants have been shuttered for a year, 3M's brand has gone the way of Sears/GE and most manufacturing assets have been sold to companies in Vietnam or the Philippines. Wonewok was purchased by a waterpark headquartered in the Wisconsin Dells and has been transformed into go-karts and water slides, with an upside-down white house slated for construction in 2029. All 3M roofs have been reduced except for a plastic pop-up garden shed alongside I94 where Board of Directors meetings are conducted.
Mike announces a 1500 person layoff to streamline, increase efficiencies, and position for the future. Stock closes the day up 0.07%.
