The employees are being told that they need to stay until March 31,2021 before they can receive the package. With the call center in Costa Rica and the support center moving to Mexico City, there will not be much left in the US except for some backend operations that will eventually be outsourced. This company is on life support and there is nothing to suggest a turnaround. Customers are very nervous doing business with this no vision company.

And as a storage admin I know I DO NOT want to have to deal with the ramifications of these moves when, not if, but when I need support on my hardware.
Hitachi NO longer cares about legacy customers, so why should we care about them?
Employees were asked to sign documents agreeing to stay on until their termination date before they can receive the package. Some will be terminated sooner on January 31st. GSC got hit hard.
What units in California were effected ????
sounds like a smart business decision.
