Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

Next round of layoff

Another 15% reduction planned for this quarter translates to 4500 people. Loaded cost of $150K per employee,
Saves the company $675M annually. After paying a paltry one time severance they have $500M to pay as dividends. Keep making Value Act richer at the cost of hard working employees. What do you say Dave ?

Dude. I hope they ask for volunteers. I’m overworked since the many prior RIFs doubled/tripled my workload. The schedule is unsustainable. They have the wrong new leadership in charge of product delivery. He’s nice enough but has never delivered a product that I’m aware of. The various decisions being made on his behalf drive that assumption home. As posted elsewhere it’s HAMR or bust.

Shut down China Factory + alpha will be enough to make 4500.

Are you kidding me? What ? Us ? Cut our salaries ? No way !!!! I’d rather cut the employees in US, breach laws and do business with the Chinese and be the white emperor of Thailand, ruling the natives and claiming success in DEI

Alternatively, leadership can cut salaries by 10-15 percent to get similar savings.
