Hello, Thank you for your review! We are very sorry to hear that you feel you have experienced bullying and don't feel that 3M has integrity. As we hope you are aware, the company has processes that address your concerns and we continue to train all employees on how to address these matters when they occur. We would encourage you to reach out to your local HR rep to discuss these concerns. This gives the company the best opportunity to hear the particulars of the concerns to see how to address it. We hope this was helpful and wish you the best.
