Thread regarding 3M layoffs

Finally got my first interview after four months of looking

I'm so excited and petrified at the same time that I'm going to tank it, mainly because I really, really want to get out of here ASAP.

Networking is crucial. Some people only have contacts within 3M -- you need contacts with people at other companies, too.

All the "just quit" people need to stop slobbing the knob and take a long, hard look at what 3M has become.

The mindless belief that everything is great and the people who don't like it are wrong, that's baffling to me.

Can you honestly say that things are better now than they were five years ago? Or that you didn't care at all about the things (and people) that we've lost?

Because if you really think nobody has a reason to be unhappy with the direction 3M is going, please leave. Just quit. We don't need useless milquetoast filling seats that should be going to someone who can actually do more than just fog a mirror.

Ah yes, the perennially useful advice of “just quit”

Wife got mad at you? Get a divorce
Stubbed your toe? Amputate your foot
Check engine light is on? Crush your car
Your politician lost? Move to another country
Clouds blocked your satellite dish? Throw the remote through the TV
Picture frame fell down? Punch a hole through the drywall

Real adults make calculated deliberate decisions. They don’t ’just quit’

Congrats!

Just breathe and it will work out, what would be the main reason for you leaving 3M?

I am quite new and already questioning

Most people don't have the option to "just quit" because they need to eat.

Good luck on your interview!

If you really really want to get out here ASAP just quit.
