Thread regarding 3M layoffs

i have two years left and i think i will keep doing my best without recognition and maybe still see my life fly by , I work hard and love when people notice my work is good , this drives me , but it goes unnoticed , alas this is something I have to take as it is life as well, the world has turned into a crazy show of showing a false front for each individual,

The writing is already on the wall in big red letters, it has been the a while. Be prepared, resume, network.

Heard many of the PFAS customers were unhappy with 3M pulling out business such a sudden. You can bet the sales decline is going to be accelerated as customer jump ship. I know Exxon is one of them.

Don’t forget the lost revenue from PFAS as well. The Titanic is now split in half. Grab a life boat before they are fillec.

Good Luck 3M (Mike, Michael & Monish)

Let’s strategerize here. I mean it makes sense to hang around to try to get the severance, right? Would suck to jump to a new job when maybe you could have gotten a couple months of salary and a free summer for cabin season. I’d much rather be funemployed and on the water for a few weeks.

If you can’t tell, I have no kids, low expenses, stocked e-fund. There have been 3M layoffs every year that I’ve ever worked here. Would have to be stupid to not be perpetually prepared for it.

Many are just hanging on to suck a few more paychecks before the ax falls. Others are hoping to actually do some good.

Agree. Anyone still at 3M should have their resume updated and be actively applying and interviewing elsewhere. The worst that happens if you do this is that you will be prepared and polished at interviewing if you are the next one called up to the guillotine. You should also have a 3-6 month emergency fund built up if you don't already.

Keep your head buried in the sand at your own peril.

Like somebody said before, 3M is Kodak. Tons of patents that eventually led to plaques on the wall but no longer generated sales and profits.

We can all "James McNerney" of GE infamy who brought in sick sigma, forced ranking, and obsession of meeting quarterly earnings estimates to what led to the demise of this once great company.

Mack the kn--e if drinking 200 dollar bottles of wine on his yacht this afternoon while thousands of loyal 3Mers get kicked to the curb evert quarter.

Everyone in MSDS still believes they are safe now. Once spin happens more cuts will be coming. Reps got 8% to ensure we stay until the spin happens.

I thought SAP and Advance 3M were the answer??? These guys are willing to try anything but invest back in the company. Innovation comes at a cost but to them it’s a buzz word for presentations.

Doesn't take a genius to figure it out but many people I know are still in denial and hoping for the best when there is nothing positive to look forward to.
