Seagate is the perfect example of how good companies go bad and then die in a single generation with one bad leader, the blame solely rests on the board.

I wonder if capital D is planning to mess with the next dividend, so he sold off all that stock to be insulated from the ramifications...

Seagate's current approach has been to do a pay cut regardless of performance, based on level (effecting higher level employees), in the hopes that a smaller layoff could result. I think it's time Seagate change strategy and cut low performers and... — read more

How did we get to the point where it's every man/woman for him/herself?

CEO & CTO said this. Hope Seagate will recover from this down trend soon

Lots of changes seen in fw org recent times.... . attrition increasing as well. What do people think?

Seems like there was a small layoff of the remnants of the ssd group in lco and tco Is that true or a false rumor?

LCO's core team leader informed me that 50TB hdds are coming soon and will fly off the shelves. MSFT and Google already lining up to buy. He said this will turn things around for Seagate.

November 13th is the big day. Good luck to all.

What do you say to a CEO who quietly slinks always at 2:00 pm every day from the side door while the revenue shrinks from $11B to $5B ?

14 & 15 Sep Starting now Anyone affected?

Clearly not paying suppliers and mass layoffs are working. This stock is going to the moon.

Seagate has become like the place where you pick up your paycheck for doing just the basic, or if we're being honest, sometimes even less than basic work. It has become common knowledge that this isn't a place where you can grow your career, so... — read more
