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?
LiDAR Team moved on
See, there is life beyond spinning dust. Good luck over there!
DEI
"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
Seagate finally cutting Maxtor good old boy club.
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

Fat cats and Wokeness abound at Seagate
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

Not challenged enough and not learning anything new

2023 Layoff Schedule
Potential month/day? Is it cancelled for next QTR due to improved outlook?
The longer you work in Seagte, the lesser the package will be
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.
They are not interested in our opinion
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

CEO's best decisions
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?
Star Wars themed HDD
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?

Better sooner than later
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
