Why are people talking about layoffs at Seagate in March as if they were a sure thing? All I saw so far were a few rumors here and there, nothing concrete. Did I miss something? An announcement or even a hint from an official source that something is coming?
I think people are just worrying too much before having all the pertinent information.
been through the RIF process at seagate Singapore, very fast process actually
Manager tell you your retrenchment package and off you go
Garden leave should be the same throughout for everyone
Be nice to ppl, because its a small world =)
Maybe he likes to read about all the dumb a-- comments and enjoys laughing his a-- off at you fools
If you were laid off from Seagate almost a year ago and so have not worked for Seagate in a year then why would you even bother checking Seagate Layoff board? Is your life so boring that you have a need to check.I dont give a f××k about my previous employers.Why would anyone even be bothered about a company that they havent worked for in a year??
Lay offs in March are taking place.
email today: many days of "facilities maintenance" next month, "force" leave of 2days at different shifts...Guess where is this?
Nothing concrete until you are invited in to a room where your manager is already there with another HR personnel
At this same moment last year, i was a seagate employee and was thinking about this layoff bs just like you. End of March 18, i got laid off
All of this are all BS until it happen to you
the shroud of the dark side covers everything! it one sees smoke.. does it mean something near on fire?
Because of low earnings per share and our sales outlook being lower. The only thing to do to boost earnings if revenue is flat or down is to cut costs, which usually means layoffs. March, because it gives time to plan them while still being able to report the effect in the April quarter earnings.
Its the usual fake news .Every few months its the same layoff rumours that appear.It gets very boring.
