This mockumentary-style series follows the fictionalized version of Seagate's upper management team as they navigate their way through the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security's investigation and subsequent $300 million fine for violating U.S. export controls related to selling hard disk drives to Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.
The series plays up the absurdity of Seagate's decision to continue selling HDDs to Huawei despite their competitors stopping due to the foreign direct product rule. The mockumentary crew follows the Seagate team as they try to justify their actions, blame others, and ultimately come to terms with the consequences of their decisions.
Expect plenty of witty sarcasm and ironic humor as the Seagate team tries to downplay the significance of the fine while navigating a multi-year audit requirement and a five-year suspended Denial Order. With tongue-in-cheek interviews, humorous dramatizations of key events, and over-the-top reactions, this is a must-watch for anyone who loves corporate satire.
