I just read that we can have a chance to win $50 if we participate in the HR health stuff. $50... are you kidding me? Not too long ago we could earn like $600 if we did the health program throughout the year. Remember "give them the pickle"? These... —  read more 

Morale is zero. People I know who used to be very diligent now work the bare minimum. It's like nobody cares about their job here anymore? I started sending applications when I realized that I wouldn’t care if they told me they didn’t need me... —  read more 

I do not intend to buy a laptop for work with my own money in order to work for Seagate. No matter how much more productive I might become, I don't want to do it. If this company understands this as a cost, and not as an investment, then why would I... —  read more 

Horrible and incompetent management No chance to advance your career Toxic culture with office politics that are like a minefield to navigate Mediocrity is celebrated, hard work is punished with more work There is no job security... —  read more 

General Electric, 3M, Verizon, and Oracle have renounced vax mandates. The list is growing. If Seagate continues with vaccine mandates going forward I will be leaving. There's lots of employer options now where it's not required. Now, clean off... —  read more 

I have been following this forum for a while and there are a lot of comments like this. As soon as someone posts some criticism, someone else immediately comes forward with the advice that he/ she should leave if they are not happy here. C'mon... —  read more 

That's our main issue. Until that changes, things will remain as they are. And that's stuck in a limbo of mediocrity.

It's become very difficult to finish work. The reason: a huge number of people leaving! I don't know how attrition affects your work (?), but for me it's pretty chaotic. After two close colleagues abruptly left, another important team member gave... —  read more 

Post any information about potential or actual Seagate Technology layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I’ve never found a new job this fast before. I really didn't expect the offer to arrive this quickly. Admittedly, I also tried harder with searching than ever. Looks like now is the best time to get out of here? Anyone who wants a change, maybe... —  read more 

All this with the pandemic has been going on for too long and everyone is under enormous stress. Everyone would love that all of this was just a bad dream.. I'm afraid what it will look like to work in this company after many people leave? And... —  read more 

People wanted to work at Seagate. Working here meant good pay and good benefits with a chance to progress. All of that has changed, so hiring anybody with any other options is impossible today. The only ones who are applying are people fresh out of... —  read more 

I thought it was all just a lot of talk, but there seem to be a lot of those leaving before December. I thought that there aren't many options for those who do not want to take a jab. Judging by the number of colleagues who are leaving just for this... —  read more 

A US employee wide vaccine mandate was announced today. Final deadline is early december. No testing alternative and it applies to remote workers as well as those onsite. No jab no job. FYI to anyone who cares, either side. Specific company info... —  read more 

I'm not sure why nothing is being done about attrition. We are losing some (more like most) of our best to our competitors and nobody is doing anything to reverse this trend. This can keep happening only for so long before the effects are felt in the... —  read more 

When I tried to give my best, I was overwhelmed with work and daily on the verge of burnout. Suddenly everything is better ever since I stopped being one of those who try to know as much as possible. If you don't want to be overwhelmed with work... —  read more 

Will it stick?

I started working here when this company still had quite a bit of relevance. I know some great people who wanted to get a job here at the time and failed. What happened in the meantime is still not clear to me but now no one with high potential wants... —  read more 

Looking at the latest trendfocus data summary and WD has caught STX. STX had a solid 5 to 8 point share lead. What is happening in the market?

I hear from my data center friends that as HDD gets bigger the IOPS get lower and are unusable for cloud providers. Even with dual actuator it only gets HDD to 2025. Is this true?

Has anyone heard of any new rumors about cuts? I may be wrong, but to me it seems like calm before the storm.

I saw this video and it reminded me of the many BS jobs around STX, including mine. The perfect example that is mentioned often is the Business Excellence department and its multiple VPs and Directors. How do we trade engineering, that can... —  read more 

Getting rid of seasoned, loyal employees like they're trash is what did it for me. The moment I find a new job, I'm gone.

Is HAMR ever going to happen ? Are the guys in SRG ever going to own up to their uselessness ?

Everyone is looking forward for the severance package (SP) and this is the main mentality across from boss, peers and colleagues working in Seagate. No one talks about work just focused on money. Of course, money always win!!!! If no SP, carry on... —  read more 

I don't respect the company which puts profit above all, I don't respect the leadership team which is leading this place into ruin, I don't respect any of the managers - whatever level we're talking about - for being nothing but but-kissers who have... —  read more 

Never in a short period of time did more of my colleagues leave Seagate. I’m not at all surprised because people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses and poor management who don’t appreciate their value. Unless something changes in the... —  read more 

There were a few chances in the past to branch out but those ships have sailed long ago and Seagate is now a tanker loaded up with debt. The chances I'm speaking of were to merge with a NAND chip maker, and/ or become a mass storage warehouse... —  read more 

My opinion is that the Seagate is a small boat in the middle of the ocean. Unfortunately, the company has completely lost its compass. What vision do they have for Seagate in general? Can you imagine this company in two or three years? I am not at... —  read more 

That’s the biggest mistake I’ve ever made. At one time I turned down quite a solid offer because I was thinking about severance pay. Lesson learned.

I keep hearing that people over a certain age (some say 50, some say even in their late 40s) are having trouble finding new jobs due to their age. Is this true? It makes no sense to me. Experience and knowledge always used to mean something, has that... —  read more 

Has anyone, as a result of the W2 give away, had their SSN # used to set up a fraudulent Medicare and/or Social Security Benefits account?

Those at the top are just lining up extremely bad moves. I wonder which even worse move comes after grade level changes? Admittedly, I hope I won’t even be there when the new bad move is announced. Unfortunately, it has become impossible to expect... —  read more 

so I'm leaving this company. Nothing makes sense here if you’re not among the favorite ones. They have a better status even if they do sloppy work, even if their behavior towards other employees is not appropriate, even if they do not give any value... —  read more 

Anyone heard about retrenchment coming on September?

I love my job and I think I am a very engaged employee, but working in this company I've totally lost the will to ever come up with an idea again. They just pretend to want to hear employee ideas, and when you come up with an idea, they completely... —  read more

With little to know wage increases from Seagate, your inflation adjusted salary is going to plummet. Other companies are giving large % raises because they are not lead by mo--ns with no clue on what's going on in the world.
