Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

Board has 2 jobs. When will they do one?

2 jobs

  1. Hire or fire the CEO
  2. Choose when to buy a company or sell seagate

5 years of declining revenue, botched systems acquisitions, failed SSD business, and an HDD PhD as the CEO who is disconnected from storage industry reality and what is going on in his own R&D. When will they do one of their jobs?

Micron buying Seagate would be like Seagate buying Samsung. You get a year, maybe two of a boost, then it's an anchor around the neck. I'd hope they're smarter than we were.

Neither Micron, nor any other company would waste a dime pouring money into Seagate.

Can anyone explain what product Seagate has for IT 4.0 and the Edge other than hard drives for large centralized server farms? Why are they making out Seagate as an IT 4.0 edge innovator. Are there new products I'm missing? I don't get it.

Seagate quietly added a new board member from Cisco. His job at Cisco, control and cut costs. :(

The ceo needs to add Business Excellence to the board to turn the company around

The board will do 2 years, cash out their stock. They don't care and don't want to be around when the company can't pay its debt. Even with cheap money investors will eventually not believe the growth story the ceo tells

There is nobody on the board who represents the employees. There is no board member who really cares about the company long term either. If they cause a stink then they will jeopardize future board seats and easy money that goes with it.

The board also approves acquisitions, pay raises & bonuses for executives, and plans for staff cuts, so this shows where they have their heads wedged into.
