No future for Seagate
The goal is to maximize the extraction of value out of an existing business to the board and the institutional shareholders and to milk it until its dry and they've offloaded its worthless corpse to new suckers. This here is sadly what's been going... — read more
They're planning to extend the salary cuts another 6 months. Will be announced in FY24 Q1
PFrosty and her HR army are targeting an additional 10% cut across the board, regardless of role. P3 and up will have their salary reduced for additional 6 months. I'm personally jumping ship soon. "People first!"
SEAGATE = ENRON 2.0
How is this for equality?
Didn’t violate any Rules but paid the fine anyway!

Why all of this is happening
It was obvious then and it's even more obvious now - Seagate should have suspended their dividend 2 years ago when WDC dropped their dividend. This clearly was a strategic blunder. Seagate management has been managing the company as though there... — read more
