How 'bout Seagate walk Mosley out the door?

Seeing lots of red on the last earnings report. If I performed like that, I'd be out the door. This guy has hurt 1000's of workers in the US by moving their jobs overseas. All so he could save some money and make his parasite buddies on Wall Street... — read more

Stock holders over Employees

What a crock. First the RIFs. Then cost cutting measures. Workload higher than ever. Now no mid-year bonus. BUT the stock holders get a near record high $0.70/share dividend. Wonder how much of this $145 M is going to the execs?

DEI

"Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is at the center of Seagate's technological achievements and long-term success" You can say it's important, needed, a part of the world today, but to say it's the CENTER is absolutely ridiculous. Technological... — read more

Seagate finally cutting Maxtor good old boy club.

Good to see Seagate finally getting rid of some of those Maxtor good old boy club members. These guys were a failure at Maxtor and somehow got to be senior managers at Seagate. Thank goodness this club is getting whacked and making room for more... — read more 

Fat cats and Wokeness abound at Seagate

Seagate is a very top heavy company. Seems like everyone is either a Director, Senior Director, Executive Director or VP. These fat cats get huge pay checks and bonuses and produce very little. Time to cut out the fat. Seagate used to be focused on... — read more

The longer you work in Seagte, the lesser the package will be

Heard the package has been cut to 12 months in SG. That's something definitely will not help the morale. The longer you have worked, the less severance package you will get when it comes. Your loyalty does not really mean anything here.

They are not interested in our opinion

I don't know why anyone would think that this company is interested in our opinion and our feedback. Surveys are a big waste of time. They are waste because they do not bring any change. At least I don't remember that they ever produced any changes... — read more

Organizations perform exactly the way they are built. Seagate executive management has performed exceptionally poor over the last 3-5 years, amazing that they haven't gone chapter 11 or been acquired prior to this date. How could an industry leader... — read more
