Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

OKC did not have police on site, those are normal security guards with shinny badges polished today. RIF is the only time security gets attention. Shoes were shinned.

in OKC they had PD on site.

Security escorts? HA HA HA What site are you at? Pittsburgh?

Lucky for Seagate there is unlimited supply of non-essential employees.

To: don't believe everything you read

This person appears to be a manager or some kind of designated assistant. Not surprised at all to hear that. And on the: if they survive comment, unfortunately people like this will always survive. Where would directors be without reports like; junior managers who are willing to lie and butlick. haha

Well, good job there giving props to your director. Sure it's good that people are compassionate, but compassion and happy hour are a joke next to the loss of a job. And BTW, it is likely that your director participated in the RIF selection process. If you are a manager, you would know that his or her hands were not completely tied and I suspect this is the case.

liar. managers are a bunch of lying fakers...IF they survive.

Don't believe everything you read. I know from first-hand experience during last fall's layoff (not me but I was involved.) Our director was extremely compassionate about letting people go. His hands were tied, but still exhibited compassion. Most of the people let go still meet us occasionally for happy hour.

Unfortunately I was not laidoff today.

Wow very tough, strict and scared. Asian culture can't understand this. It is very rude.

let me check the security office if extra help is here. LOL

Yep, they fire you like you never worked for the company
