Anyone have knowledge on which areas will be impacted? The hiring freeze is already occurring, so bundle up and get ready for the winter freeze and upcoming layoffs!

Sounds like a lot, but it's plausible. It's 15% of the global workforce. There would have to excess production capacity to get rid of for one of that size though. Not sure EDS in its entirety has that many. If it does...well there you go.

"Best products in the entire industry"?? To use as doorstops, you mean? Seagate reliability sukcs. What weed have you bin smokin'? Read the science behind reliability studies. Seagate significantly trails other drive makers.

Sorry, laying off 6000-7000 employees simply sounds like cr-p. Please make your BS believeable.

That's plain white BS. We have the best products in the entire industry. And our bottom line is the best since we axed BLR. Harrummph!
