Thread regarding 3M layoffs

Have E. Jean Carroll walk into the room.

Rather than positioning the company to pay out $10,000,000,000+ settlements, invest $1,000,000 on 10,000 different NPI programs. If only 1/10,000 goes anywhere, the company is still better off.

1. Stop s m o k i n g
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

3, Drink more water

4. Take vitamins and minerals supplement

1. Fire Monish and every GE croney
2. Fire Roman
3. Dissolve DEI roles and budgets

Invest in R&D with the savings ~$90million.

Cut out the spending on cr-p on elements and initiatives that very few care about. De-emphasize anything that is not related to increasing sales. Get rid of sales force.com. Software is sh!t and isn't bringing in any sales. As others have said stop being just order takers, and alow spending on going after sales and marketshare. Passive approach has not worked. Keep flim flam man in the dark.

Hello @ton+1ngGrtG1 - I think these BalckRock, Vanguard and bunch of WallStreet people their ancestors most likely are Slave Owners. They’re now trying to Wash The Guilt by forcing companies to adopt random hiring & promotions that has not benefited anyone.

Protect share holders value:

1. Get rid of DEI agendas and instead invest in valued talents.
2. Get rid of DEI Politics, you are not going to upset anyone that matters to the company.
3. Get rid of DEI Police so that you allow people in no-2 above will have full opportunity to develop showcasing market leading products that 3M was known for in THE past.

Nobody needs to see 3M go the Budweiser way.
Wow what an excellent post here, so kudos for me please.

1. Hire talents who can invent useful products or technologies. Not these who generate trash parents
2. Significantly reduce reporting structures
3. empolyees can fire CEO

Until a certain % of current EVPs exit, nothing will change. You can have the best laid strategy and plans but it really comes down to leadership.

1. Need to invest in real R&D. Not another me-too products.

2. Hire the best and let them innovate. Don't just focus on short term returns.

3. Get rid of the reporter roles. You know who they are. These people typically compiles data to report upwards.

1. Create a new vision that focuses on business growth & stay out of politics! let the government govern.
2. Begin to hire the best based on qualifications, not on appearance, such as skin pigmentation. Blackrock and Vanguard should not be demanding compliance with their global societal control objectives. Have courage.
3. Lastly, come up with a way to recognise the dedicated people that actually drive in to work everyday. Going all in with WYW may be a great idea, but maybe not. Why are other top companies quickly moving away from it? How the company is treating its employees will not soon be forgotten.

Expanding previous post (respectfully)...

ACTUALLY TRAIN Sales to get aggressive and go out and actually sell stuff instead of being order takers WHO BURDENED BY SALESFORCE.COM BLLSHT.

How long before 3M admits SF.com is a sham and only in place because a good majority of managers (not all) don't know product, industries, not customers?

this is a super life lesson just posted by another op,,,,

Get a sense of urgency and accountability along with some healthy paranoia, be less complacent.

1. Sales get aggressive and go out and actually sell stuff instead of being order takers.
2. Get a sense of urgency and accountability along with some healthy paranoia, be less complacent.
3. Everyone back to the office and scrap WYW to the dump heap where it belongs.

Get rid of CEO CFO and CLO

Competent supervisors/management
Better organization/more space
Common sense approach

Growth is there but suppressed.

Real Ad/Merch budgets.. actually put $$ behind product launches

1. Fire Kearney
2. Fire PetGibby
3. Fire Moneyish

Addition by subtraction.

Actually investing in R&D??

no
