Ladies and gentlemen I got laid off today by HR. I walked into my cubicle and they was already waiting for me. Son Seagate is going through some tough times. Your generation doesn't pay for things like computours. You download them illegally. Wtf? Maybe if you bought more computers instead of using your stupid phones Seagate wouldn't have to lay you off. At that moment I was glad to be laid off from this dinosaur. F you Brewer and okc! Long live ( o )( o ) !!! Aka flash.

cool headline and post, but I could help thinking of the SNL skit "I'm single, and I'm loving it!"

Guess you were in IT LOL yeah big stinking mess there, the next thing is that the IT will be outsourced the Contract agencies like TAOS and Insight Global are scratching at the door sills as I write this...
..
Hope I'm one of those effected. Can't stand this place much longer. What an unethical company.
I am hoping and praying I get laid off next week. I can't take this nuthouse anymore. Management is incapable of saying no, and the senior management team is doing stupid things to the IT department. Please for the love of God Rif me
Man you're so lucky! I don't think I'm getting riffed.
Brewer, as in Mark Brewer. Yes, okc is Oklahoma City.
Brewer could mean: (from slang dictionary)
An insult used to define the action of telling a boring, pointless story or repeating the same thing over and over.
OKC means Oklahoma City to me. Seagate has big IT presence there.
His mention of Brewer makes it sound like he is in IT. He also mentioned OKC. Part of the SV data center closing?
Usually notice was handed out by manager. I guess they could be handled by HR if the group is gone. Best luck to you and people affected.
You mean you were RIFed on Tuesday 21st June - I thought Seagate does it on Wednesday only.
Anyway I guess it is a good omen for you- put your career together and work for a better company .... This is a f***ed up place anyway...
