What a crock. First the RIFs. Then cost cutting measures. Workload higher than ever. Now no mid-year bonus. BUT the stock holders get a near record high $0.70/share dividend. Wonder how much of this $145 M is going to the execs?

See, there is life beyond spinning dust. Good luck over there!

"Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is at the center of Seagate's technological achievements and long-term success" You can say it's important, needed, a part of the world today, but to say it's the CENTER is absolutely ridiculous. Technological... —  read more 

Good to see Seagate finally getting rid of some of those Maxtor good old boy club members. These guys were a failure at Maxtor and somehow got to be senior managers at Seagate. Thank goodness this club is getting whacked and making room for more... —  read more

Seagate is a very top heavy company. Seems like everyone is either a Director, Senior Director, Executive Director or VP. These fat cats get huge pay checks and bonuses and produce very little. Time to cut out the fat. Seagate used to be focused on... —  read more

Honestly, does anyone expect anything to improve here, or has everyone already lost hope? I don't know anyone who isn't looking for something else.

Years ago, Seagate was a company that was dedicated to its employees, but now it seems like those on top are doing everything they can to turn us against one another. The company has been struggling lately, but this is not just about financials... —  read more 

Potential month/day? Is it cancelled for next QTR due to improved outlook?

Heard the package has been cut to 12 months in SG. That's something definitely will not help the morale. The longer you have worked, the less severance package you will get when it comes. Your loyalty does not really mean anything here.

I don't know why anyone would think that this company is interested in our opinion and our feedback. Surveys are a big waste of time. They are waste because they do not bring any change. At least I don't remember that they ever produced any changes... —  read more

Anyone can confirm this? Nov RIF is capped at 18mon, which is huge reduction from previous CAP of 30mon.

There is no pulse... He's dead, Jim.

The company really went downhill the last 5 years and seems like every decision the CEO has made has been wrong, every direct hire bad. This can't be right, what have been good decisions?

This will get revenue back on track. How many millions did Seagate pay for this? Is this how executive spend their time looking for opportunities to fix the business?

Be prepared for another 3000 layoff next year 2023 due to low demand and economic recession

It's no consolation to those who are affected, but in any case I think it's better to be cut now than to wait in uncertainty for another wave. It's not a good time to lose a job, but I believe that many will get a new and better offer faster than... —  read more
