Heard SV site is closing down in May 2017
I heard that SV site is closing down by May 2017. There will be a few more rounds of cuts and then the remaining folks will move over the hill to Cupertino.
Layoff at Seagate US sites
It seems not many Seagate US people will be affected this time. Seems most reductions will be in Asia.

If not how to boost share prices to pacify the shareholders

Change the top management
Every time Seagate not doing well, the employees get retrench. After so many round of retrenchment, still didn't bring in the desired result. Shouldn't the top management take responsibility and accountability ? Do they have the best business model ?... — read more
Hostile work environment!
Years of Lay-offs, no raises, not even cost of living increases, taking away one weeks vacation a year, medical insurance benefits getting worse every year(while consistently becoming more expensive). I remember when Seagate wanted to retain the best... — read more

Where are the separation instructions on MySeagate.com?
The 14% should be exclusively at the design centers in the USA.
Strategically axe 80% of USA design center's staff and it would operate better in less space. That's being conservative, it's probably closer to 90%. All personnel, including management, on the line. You would need to bring in folks from the outside... — read more

Is there future ?
Question to ask yourself is not whether you can survive this round or the next round of cuts... You should ask yourself if there is any future for this 3gate company
Millions of dollars wasted
Few years back STX started to buy high cost test systems from outside to replace our own systems which didn't have any recurring costs . Now we are incuring millions of dollars every year. Example of another bad decision.
Seagate should cut 12000 positions in Asia to align herself to companies of similar revenue size.
There is still lots of fats in Seagate Asia especially Singapore. Seems like that are that serious about job cuts . Which company can you see 3 senior managers for logistics in Singapore, 2 in China and 1 in Thailand ?
