I worked at Seagate 28 years and it had it's ups and downs as any industry does when it has such a rapid turnover of products due to their short production times. Overall, I think the quality of people I worked with was exceptional, the morale was high, and the pay was great for the area I was in. Unfortunately, as in all businesses, all it takes is one technological breakthrough to make or break a company... and unfortunately this last one was by another company. I saw it online as it was announced, and knew the end was near. Sure enough, the layoffs started a year later, and a year after that I was cut, I think at the 3rd major layoff. All in all, I loved working for the company and was sad to see my time there end. I still keep up with those with and now outside of the company, and now that's I'm once more employed, try to help them as much as I can. It's sad watching it self destruct as it's currently doing...
