Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

as one that's been on both sides of a layoff in long career, @q9+1jjnc8dhs is more correct than not. Aside from friendships with colleagues that may exist outside of the office, and even some of them will begin to distance themselves, few people care that you're gone. Don't expect colleagues to check in on how you're doing. You're gone and they have work to do. They are not going to praise your accomplishments or advocate for your legacy.

You haven’t figured out that nobody cares yet have you? Your coworkers will forget you existed a week after you are gone. The fake hand wringing about the laid off doesn’t fool me at all. Nobody ever mentions them or their families at work ever again and people move on and don’t care. They are forgotten. It’s simply a job contract and nothing more. We aren’t family and you don’t matter more than anybody else I see at the grocery store. Literally nobody at Seagate will care about you after layoff.

Because YOU think that laid off employees are feeling better off, it's all OK? Now please go ask those employees if they were hoping and waiting for the day they would be laid off. Celebrating or rationalizing employees losing their stable income and enjoyable work because you think that is all cool is indeed sick.

a good life can had beyond this industry for the motivated willing to chase it

Employees losing jobs is the best thing that has ever happened to most people laid off from Seagate that I know. Might as well feel sorry for people fired from a sweat shop and are no longer able to get abused.

not so fast with the leap to tariffs on drive, think about it

Only a sick person would say it's a "beautiful thing" when the employees will be the ones losing their jobs.

This company getting crushed by tariffs will be a beautiful thing. All the illegal dealings and roosters coming home to roost.

Too bad the sold the OKC factory location

Yep, get those old coal burners running again in OK City.
