Curious if canteens are ISO 3103 complainant? Why not be proud of that? Big banner, put label on HDD drive. Seagate now ISO 3103 complainant! Sales increase here and in China greatly, UK as well. Not sure impact in US.
STX stock manipulation
Needs to be investigated. It wouldn’t be the first for seagate.
comment area no longer available on this year micro survey
The top level trying to "freeze" our hand from the keyboard. Are they scare for our feedback? Really meaningless survey.
They're not even trying anymore.
The cafeteria at the normandale facility is a working model and good representation of the seagate management plan.
Seagate needs to cut its dividend
Seagate will pay 1.2B as part of the Bain consortium to acquire toshiba’s memory. This will reduce the cash balance to ~1.4B, back to where it was a year ago. Last year, seagate borrowed 1B debt and laid off employees/cut spending in order to... — read more
You did good OKC, don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise.
In 1989 Seagate purchased Control Data at during this time they had five operational buildings in Oklahoma City. We built millions of hard drives, in fact one of the very first clean rooms was built here in Oklahoma City. Over the next few decades... — read more

OKC after 6/30/18
Since IT was let go, as well as OM/AM and now they will let go call center, the people left behind will be minimal.. my comom sense tells me they will shift these jobs to another location.. anyone has info on this?
Good Company, Poor Management
Time and time again I see a very good company with a very poor management strategy: Cut the bottom line. But how far to cut? .... Just keep cutting until something breaks. How smart is this? As a long time employee and technical contributor, I feel... — read more
Lay off after the earning? Stock likely go down 15% after earning.
Follow lay off in July. DH will be scaled down to 28 employees.
OKC location is closing by 6/39/2018
The OKC location is set for sell if it's not already sold and the whole call center will be outsourced to a 3rd party company located in Dallas. The management is still lying about it and telling people that the moving boxes they are distributing are... — read more
Cut the dividend already!!!
Can we just cut the dividend already? Maybe just maybe we could get rid of some of our debt if the unrealistically high dividend was brought down to more realistic heights. As it stands, none of us will see a raise or a promotion for the next decade... — read more
Promotions
Most employees are very unhappy here. No raises or promotions for anyone ever is pretty demoralizing. I've been at the company 5+years and I don't know a single employee who has been promoted during that time. Seagate has become a very poor company... — read more
All Jobs are taking over by SRC Penang?
Heard SRC Penang only will be there for sometime till the migration complete and the servers moving to AWS. Then after SRC will be eliminated following with Shugart? Anyone heard about this and by when management planning to execute this?
DH closing soon?
Heard rumors that they are going out of business.
Glassdoor Ratings of Seagate: Frightful
If the Glassdoor ratings of Seagate are to be believed, workers do not like working there. I'm a younger (20 something) programmer looking for work. I used to think Seagate was a cool place to work. Now all I read is RIFs, layoffs, clueless... — read more
Who is a buyer of DotHill?
They are slowly losing business. Not worth holding it.
Watkins Coming Back
I saw on Fox and Friends that Bill Watkins is coming back to Seagate, in a bold power play to stymie enemies and amaze shareholders. Don't know what the response from me and other employees will be. Depends on if we go back to building spinnie drives... — read more
HAMR V MAMR

Rome Fell... Again.
Like Watching Rome Fall One only has to read a sad review like this one to crystallize your purpose: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-Seagate-Technology-RVW18522428.htm After reading this, there are three options: 1) Do nothing... — read more
2018 layoff?
Anyone know when the next layoff is going to be? Awhile back on this site, someone mentioned May or June. Anyone else hearing about upcoming layoffs?
How pathetic is Seagate Management
How pathetic is it that Seagate actually puts in the effort to post on this site in it's own favor posing as happy employees. What are they freaked out about? Must be a lot of truth on this site for them to actively promote it's own propaganda.
Hamer shipping R&D Dead
Should be a huge cut to R&D come June. Hamer shipping, nothing else in the works for new development. Should save the company a ton of money to give out to the shareholders. A lot less overhead as we produce current product lines until the end.
No RIF. More overtime.
Just when I was hoping for early retirement, I'm told Seagate can't afford to lay anyone off right now because they can't make drive fast enough to keep-up with demand. This trend is expected for at least the next couple of quarters. Guess I'll just... — read more

DH future in question
When I was talking to VP he hinted dismantling DH or downsizing or even selling after downsizing. Procedure would start as soon as April. It seems huge layoff is inevitable in the near future.
What do Seagate, the Titanic, and Jenga all have in common?
Is it instability? Bitterness? Poor management? Can't be poor management. Jenga has excellent management. Spinny drive = stay alive = workforce don't thrive = dat ain't no jive. Or, in poem form: Spinny drive stay alive Workforce don't thrive Dat... — read more
The worst is over guys, we are on the way up & up all the way
Congrats to those who believe in storage over SSD.
UpComing lay offs
Any update on this? I heard about 6% cut April June quarter. DH will lose 20% employees.
Depressing, Yet Accurate Post
Check out https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-Seagate-Technology-RVW19338302.htm Seagate is a sinking ship (spinny drives are so Last Decade). Read the writing on the webpage. Get the fcuck out now. Or stay, and get HAMRed (get it?)
Another major lay off in May/June
Going to major surgery for lot of divisions. DH will be eliminated except some service related.
Seagate Singapore
Any updates over there? What are the big themes nowadays...
Cupertino IT
Will there be any layoffs in Cupertino IT in the future? I heard that the folks remaining there are some of the most talented, brightest, and hard working people.
Seagate still the best company to stay with
Anyone disagree with me?
March layoff is coming
I've been notified yesterday and will be dismiss end of March
O.K. everybody, let's turn this ship around
If everyone would just contribute 110%, we could layoff 10% of the work force and get a larger focal and bigger bonus. C'mon guys. Jeez.
Profit Sharing
Are you all excited on the pfofit Sharing pay out?
Layoffs at SHK or NRM
Has anyone head reliable info about layoffs in Minnesota? Are the Minnesota sites the only Seagate sites that will still be here in 2029?
Last time keep hearing Seagate to AMS Heptagon
