Seagate Fires 6,500, Or 14% of Workforce, Stock Soars (zerohedge.com)

turkeydance quotes a report from Zero Hedge: [Seagate] announced today an additional restructuring plan for continued consolidation of its global footprint across Asia, EMEA and the Americas. The plan includes reducing the Company's global headcount by approximately 6,500 employees, or 14% of its global headcount by the end of fiscal year 2017. The total pretax charges for the plan will be approximately $164 million in fiscal year 2017. The restructuring activities and global footprint consolidation underway should enable the Company to be operating within its targeted Non-GAAP product gross margin range of 27-32% by the December 2016 quarter. "Computer-memory specialist Seagate announced that its Q4 revenue would be $2.65 billion, beating expectations of $2.34 billion, and up from the $2.3 billion guidance given previously," reports Zero Hedge. "The company also reported gross margin of 25% and non-GAAP gross margin of approximately 25.8% for the fiscal fourth quarter 2016, up from the previous 23% forecast. Good news, and the stock is up 12% after hours as a result."

  1. Republicans raped me in Brazil by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The last I went there for tech work I was raped. I walked out of the airport and three guys jumped me and held me down while a fourth raped me. Right in public in front of everyone. I screamed for help but no one did anything. They kept trading places and raped me for about 90 minutes.

    This is what Brazil is like. You don't know anything....you don't know what it's like to be raped in a country with no laws, no moral codes. Fuck you!!!
