Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

Everything that is wrong with Seagate right now

  • Horrible and incompetent management
  • No chance to advance your career
  • Toxic culture with office politics that are like a minefield to navigate
  • Mediocrity is celebrated, hard work is punished with more work
  • There is no job security unless you are a sycophant

My experience in STX is u get promotion and treatment based on who u know, not what u are skill or good at. Those talk alot and play with their bosses but know nothing are always get the rewards instead of those engrossed working hard to resolve issues.

Dude. I’m in it for the Benjamin’s. Nothing more and nothing less. The day their paycheck doesn’t clear is when I look elsewhere. Strictly 9 to 5 only.

I'd rather stay and keep you coming back here to read all my complaints. You seem to love coming here and doing so and then complaining about complainers. You really need me but you can't admit it. I understand you have a weird dysfunction and need to read me as I skewer Seagate and then get all bent out of shape. I actually enjoy making you post the why don't you leave comments so much. I've got you right where I want you.

Stop whining and just do your job, do what you are paid for. Not happy? just get out.. he who makes most noise and complaints is probably going to hang around regardless..

When are you guys going to realize that Seagate is NOT a high tech company. They're a commodities company that focuses on cost reduction to enhances their profit margin. The laptop refresh policy is just one example of that. It is pure luck that the exponential increase in cold storage happened. Not due to any advancement in product technology by Seagate but by the cryptocurrency mining application demand. Pull your heads out of the sand, take a fresh breath, and reevaluate perspectives. It'll do you a lot more good than this incessant whining about what Seagate is doing to you.

Nah, that's the government you have described perfectly. Seagate follows their marching orders though and is in lock step with the Word Economic Forum. In fact, they send an executive to the WEF meetings.

My kid was 5 when I got my Seagate laptop. She's 11 now. Nice way to support employees for a cutting edge high profit company. I get regular crashes and they won't replace it. No laptop for you! Would it ki-l the bottom line to get me a new one before the Smithsonian calls this one into the museum collection?

While I don't agree with several of those sentiments. It does irritate me that the company puts a higher priority on dividends than return investment. Mandating a 6 year rollover for laptops (instead of 3) is just plain stupid.

Why don't you just move on? Or are you what is known as corporate "dead weight"?
