My bonus and raise were incredibly sh--ty.
Should have expected that from Seagate though.

Bonus was great, why? because I work hard and I am rewarded. Great boss, great team, love stx.
Don't worry, another round of RIF before next quarter results will reduce the engineers further
Doesn't matter size of bonus/raise when you think about more working hours for the exempt people left after layoffs who don't get paid overtime. Even 3% raise not worth having to work extra 10-20 hrs a week plus weekends. I guess some people have no other place to go so they deal with working 24/7...blue collar works make more than seagate engineers if you add in the time and a half for overtime. Seagate is like the Walmart of the tech world.
Expect the worst in next round of RIF
Anyone have insight on RIF's expected in the US (locations / #'s?)
Sh--e bonus, focal
RIF expected to continue with US, Singapore and Banglore getting decimated
Obviously salary employees much more compensated then hourly!! And the rich get richer!!!
3% raise. bonus is... laughable.
raises were good, bonuses were sh--
anyone claiming %20 is full of it
4-10% more likely engineering in US
2 percent bonus.
7% raise and 2% bonus... Not sure what to think.
I had a dream last night - Me getting 50% Bonus ; 25% focal; 10,000 RSUs. Screamed out loud in joy only to realize that it was nor real.
best focal ever!!! thank the seagate lords! amen
No news is no news
Bonus?
3% raise...
Got 10% raise and 21% bonus. Good to be king of OKC
they may be targeting older engineers for layoff... of course it isn't stated but pretty evident the price/performance is lacking.
hate to say it, but at least on the software side of things the staff+ engineers fall into two boats:
1) truly excellent at what they do with tremendous knowledge
2) incredibly inept in modern engineering
know your self -- head for sales/marketing/pmo/whatever if you can't swim in the deep end
I think I am incredibly talented to have survived so many layoffs- expecting 30% bonus and 10% hike with a promotion to director level.
Makes sense, company is in toilet
