List is out. Stx likely to increase dividend after the lay off. Dothill revenue is a concern.

Most of the talented people moved to other companies. People who stayed there useless people who can’t find another job, especially LCO. If they lose this job they are done. Lot of h1b slaves who graduated from level 2 universities have to go back.
