Goodnight

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 

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?

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

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

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.

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 

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

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

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 

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??
