"Backblaze always has the most thorough results for drives and this report is no different. A significant problem was that Seagate drives were failing more often than any other drive which is disappointing."

Does this job even help Seagate or weigh it down? What are some examples of how business excellence makes you get better or makes Seagate worse? I don't like how they're in charge of all the layoffs, that should be manager discretion.

Is seagate supportive off its employees affected by this.

I know at some point huge lay offs will happen, but I believe it is not imminent until September. I am in dothill, we may lose 50% of our colleagues.

15% Cut possible.

Anytime before September huge layoffs. LCO is done.

Rumours that there's going to be a 1 off payment of 3% of annual salary made to employees as a sign of appreciation for continuing to work through the covid 19 crisis.

I think it's not really a secret that Seagate had a layoff schedule in the works, and I think it's also fair to say that it was scheduled for sometime in the past. My question is, what benefit does a corporation have to delay? Does Seagate expect... — read more
