Any news on today's US layoff? What was the severance package?

Being called in many articles now the "legacy HDD" company hits home. Not only are many of our product lines "legacy" - means just build these drives developed in 2010ish until the orders run out with no BPs, no follow-ons in the pipeline..... but... — read more

any news frm singapore?

heared that they got suddenly cancelled OT and having force leaves; is this a sign of RIF soon?

This will be different than the GFC

2008 to 2011 was rough. However, storage hungry companies like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc… were growing and needed storage to support that growth. We took temporary pay cuts to keep our jobs. I don’t think those options will be available during... — read more 

Personal ESG score?

I don’t produce anything that goes into STX product, but I have a super high ESG score. Do you guys think I’m safe from the upcoming RIFs over the next 24 months?

Cut is not the worst thing that can happen to you

Some people mistakenly think that RIF is the worst thing that can happen to them here. No, the worst thing that can happen to someone here is that they stay too long, their skills atrophy and they stay in this miserable place because they can't get... — read more 

When is the RIF?

Any word on when the rif is coming? It is coming soon but do you know when?

Pay increase after leaving here

It is becoming clear to me that I will never be able to get a promotion here. But what worries me is that I have been looking for a job for several months and I have not been able to get an offer that implies a significant pay increase. Others say... — read more 

Lots of things to improve here

I’m still here because I don’t think it makes much sense at my age to start again from the scratch. If I were a little younger, I would definitely look for other options. Because, there really are a lot of things that need to be improved here... — read more 

Seagate LiDAR

Looks like we are presenting publicly some LiDAR stuff at AutoSens Detroit this week.....Will this sell more than SSDs?

Is layoff coming?

My global protect is suddenly uninstalled today, and I can't access any resources. Is it a rehearsal for the coming layoff?

Complaining = not having the skills to leave

Everyone sometimes needs a little venting, but the bottom line is that most of those who complain don't have the skills for getting a job elsewhere. They are investing more energy into complaining than into growing a skillset. Another issue is that... — read more 

Package

I’m debating whether to accept an average offer or wait for Seagate to pay me to leave. However, I have conflicting info regarding severance pay. One person told me he that there has been a change in severance policy. Is that true? Can someone... — read more 

Compared to competition

I am in a dilemma whether to stay here a little longer or look for a job with competitors. Is there anything we are better at compared to competition?

Going nowhere with no vision

I think the lack of vision is one of the biggest problems here. The priority of every true leader is to set a direction. It looks like this leadership does not have a clear vision for the company's future and therefore it is quite natural that... — read more

April cuts

Some rumors were circulating about April cuts. Has there been any more info on that?

Everything is urgent

I am under terrible pressure. Management constantly makes unrealistic demands. There are no priorities - everything is urgent. How do I manage to do all that workload in such a short time? It is hardly possible. The worst thing is that they know... — read more 

Seagate Covid Protocols

Seems like the Seagate Longmont building is the only place in Colorado with covid. Nowhere else are we supposed to wear a mask. Most companies like AMD, Lockheed Martin and others have lifted the mask mandate completely and opened their office gyms... — read more 

Forced on site or fired?

Prepare to be ordered to return to work 5 days a week or be fired for failure to comply. The company got a taste of successfully forcing employee compliance on medical choices and now will dictate when and where you work as it's next authoritarian... — read more 

Lets be fair

It is not my intention to provoke anyone, but I really think that in a better organized company many people would have been cut a long time ago, and here they are still coming to work and getting paycheck even though they do almost nothing. This... — read more 

It's not about health

I just read that we can have a chance to win $50 if we participate in the HR health stuff. $50... are you kidding me? Not too long ago we could earn like $600 if we did the health program throughout the year. Remember "give them the pickle"? These... — read more 

How much do you care about your job here?

Morale is zero. People I know who used to be very diligent now work the bare minimum. It's like nobody cares about their job here anymore? I started sending applications when I realized that I wouldn’t care if they told me they didn’t need me... — read more

Terrible working conditions

I do not intend to buy a laptop for work with my own money in order to work for Seagate. No matter how much more productive I might become, I don't want to do it. If this company understands this as a cost, and not as an investment, then why would I... — read more

Seagate. You better drop the mandate.

General Electric, 3M, Verizon, and Oracle have renounced vax mandates. The list is growing. If Seagate continues with vaccine mandates going forward I will be leaving. There's lots of employer options now where it's not required. Now, clean off... — read more 

"If you are not happy, then why don't you just leave?"

I have been following this forum for a while and there are a lot of comments like this. As soon as someone posts some criticism, someone else immediately comes forward with the advice that he/ she should leave if they are not happy here. C'mon... — read more

Is quitting contagious?

It's become very difficult to finish work. The reason: a huge number of people leaving! I don't know how attrition affects your work (?), but for me it's pretty chaotic. After two close colleagues abruptly left, another important team member gave... — read more
