From all I'm hearing the whole company will be gone in under 2 years...might be time to go now without leaving with nothing when it all folds
Severance Packages
Has anyone received their severance package? When are they due to be available?
We've lost too many people
Who is even left to lay off? At least among the people who are doing the work. There are plenty of lazy su-kups still here, but we all know they're safe when it comes to layoffs. Sad but true.
Stay away if you can
If young people are smart they would stay as far away from Seagate as possible. Our executive team is currently selling anything they can just to keep paying dividends. Running up 6 plus billion in debt and no hope for income in the near future, We... — read more
How close to retirement would it be worth staying here?
In my case, it is certainly not worth trying to make it to retirement here because I still have a long way to go and therefore I'm currently exploring the job market. Still I'm interested in how close to retirement would you have to be in order to... — read more
Change in severance
Word is that US severance is to be slashed by 50% minimum. This means increased RIFs at a reduced cost to the company. It's best to take offered packages by volunteering now instead of waiting until next year.
Poll: My thoughts on $STX
I'm not stupid. I don't own any stock. I'll sell soon at around current price point. I'll sell when the stock price hits $115 again. Thoughts?
Where is the progress of HAMR production now?
Waiting it to earn big big money
Seagate..R.I.P.
Place falling apart last few years to save big dogs jobs. now letting other people go so they can hide...will soon be bought over and closed
Anyone else not get their severance payout today?
Was supposed to get the severance payment today but got nothing. Did Seagate run out of cash?
What is left to innovate
Serious question What is left to innovate Isn’t it sufficient that for manufacturing to exist and IT services to support sales and some support functions..what is left for R&D in magnetic tapes
Volunteers for the next round
It seems that there are many of us who intend to volunteer for the next round?
RIF package amounts
What are the RIF packages being offered at other sites. At STST it's four weeks wages for every year of service up to 19 years. What is it like in the US or other locations and are there any other benefits such as allocation of money to retrain.
NRM Wafer South construction halted indefinitely 😬
What a waste of money 💵💵💵🔥🔥🔥
Should i go?
I'm 35 and it's my 13th year in Seagate. I admit i have gotten too comfortable here. Seeing people getting laid off, I'm thinking if i should get out soon before everything collapse..
The question of bankruptcy
Since there are more and more people mentioning possible bankruptcy, do you really think it could actually happen soon?

Too many layoffs
Over 210,000 tech jobs were lost this year alone, and it's only been six months. Is it even possible to get a job as a software engineer anymore? I can only imagine how oversaturated the job market is right now and how much choice the companies have... — read more
Where is the crowd sourced spreadsheet for layoffs?
Please add a new sheet for the layoff of July 03-05
Stop spreading misinformation - salaries will be reinstated at the 6 month mark
In the meeting where decision was made and continues to be reinforced so stop scaring people!
Layoff number for October 15%
Another round for layoff..now demands drop again.. Management calc need to another 15%.
Management only cares about the numbers
Sad but true. Things will not improve with time if that's what you're waiting or hoping for. I'm betting you we'll soon come to a point where targets will increase and pay will decrease. I don't see a point in staying here any longer. There are many... — read more
Are big cuts inevitable?
I'm beginning to believe that cuts are inevitable. Thoughts?
Paycuts are going to be extended an additional 6 months
They're also considering expanding the paycuts to P1-P2 levels. I'm jumping ship soon.
Whole place gonna go 2026
It's gone by 2026 everyone, once they get this hamer sorted it's all for Normamdale ...68 for VR , but 228 looking and company agree ........ffs writing on the wall.. need d Johnson or big C d in charge... Up the union
This is a horrible business strategy
I can't understand why our C-Suite can't make a profit without cutting employees. Shouldn't it be their job to find ways that are going to help the company long-term, as opposed to layoffs, which are only good for a short while before it becomes... — read more
Good leadership would be devastated by that
I've never heard so many people saying that they would love to get a package and then finally forget about this place. I don't remember a time when people were more dissatisfied and wanted to leave more than now. Perhaps there were such periods... — read more
Seagate wants a younger and automatically less expensive workforce
Cuts will continue until they get it.
Layoffs in the US
Are layoffs on Monday and Tuesday limited to international locations or will the US be hit as well?

You're not supposed to like your job
It's supposed to be a tool that feeds you and your family. That's it. If you expect to enjoy what you do, you're guaranteed to be disappointed and frustrated. Stop stressing over being unhappy at work and just enjoy the fact that you're the provider... — read more

Myth busting on the STX jet - not used by STX; 100% rented to turn a profit
STX jet is an asset that is rented out to the highest private bidder and has not been used by the company in over a year.
Hire to have people to layoff
Laid off 7 years ago, and not surprised to see more layoffs. The only company more consistent with layoffs than Seagate is Dell. Get out while you can. Survived 20 layoffs only to be nabbed by 21. At least Dell is worth getting laid off from.
STST
Apparently people to hear on Monday past their severance pay...ain't heard of anyone yet got letter from HR??
