Thread regarding Seagate Technology Inc. layoffs

Ken’s Advice

I received advice from this guy named Ken; when I asked him about the layoffs. He said, "you got to know when to hold them and when to fold them." We talked about career changes and he said, "you got to know when to walk away and when to run."

That seemed reasonable; so I asked him about the reported high bonus and raises. Ken's advice, "you never count your money sitting at the table ... time enough for counting when Septembers done."

"You seem to have a problem with someone who is happy to have a stable job and is being rewarded for good work. That's too bad for you."

That's for sure, bad attitude. I can't imagine why someone would think they would be laid off before their shares vest.

5syk,

Slow and steady wins the race.

Been with Seagate almost 11 years. I plan on staying here until my kid's medical expenses are paid off and I can make a dent in his student loans.

You seem to have a problem with someone who is happy to have a stable job and is being rewarded for good work. That's too bad for you.

A 1/4 vest every year for four years. Yes you will be fully vested with the small amount they smoke screen you with, in four years but you wont make it that long. They know it. Most likely RIFed. So take the sh--ty little 1-2 k per vested year, seagate stock is sh--, it will drop again by your first vesting period, you wonder why you took the deal when the taxes will not be worth the slice you are cashing in.

You would make mosley a fun play toy. I am sure he needs a dumb mother f---er lime you to snuggle. Dont let him know your s---ing off your resident director.....

Couple of hundred.

Should be a very handsome sum when fully vested in 4 years and STX stock is > $100/share.

Enjoy your d--k s---ing fantasy. I can tell you're into that. You and mr. rogers make a nice couple.

Ken sounds like he might be a loser, and maybe just a tad g--.

Is he aware that focals occur in Feb?September has gone by, so by his logic it is safe to count your money.

Kewl.

I'm counting on at least 3% raise and a couple hundred RSU's.
