Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

Does Seagate pass the healthy environment/toxic politics test?

Sure signs that you work in a healthy environment free from toxic politics.

1) Leadership is open, fair, authentic, honest, friendly and supportive.

2) Failures and mistakes are treated as lessons. Finger-pointing is frowned upon.

3) Employees are trusted and empowered.

4) People are promoted and rewarded on the basis of their accomplishments, not political favors.

5) Leadership takes real risks for employees, stands up for them, gets them what they need, is there for them when they run into problems.

6) Best ideas win.

7) Employees come first.

And not!!!!

When things goes well, I use “I”.

When I do not know or how things goes, I use “We”.

When things go bad, I use “You” and “They”.

I will only give you credit for your project, if your project fails.

vhs: stay on topic.

Does this mean that Watkins coming back? WIth Shugaart in his back pocket?

Seagate torture is everywhere. Our VP in SHK lines up a row of grasshoppers in the conference room, then subjects them to harsh language, followed by a recitation of best accounting practices from the quarterly financials.

Correction: in addition to torturing employees with the constant fear of layoffs, the CEO does use solar photons to torture ants. He will do this until the boat shows up.
