Seagate10-Q: Labor shortage

Seagate admits past restructurings and variable pay are causing hiring and retention difficulties.

What happened

The company is experiencing intense competition for talent in the US, China, and Southeast Asia, and directly attributes its recruitment and retention challenges to its own 'historical restructurings, temporary salary reductions and variability in bonus payouts.' This creates a significant pain point and a need for improved HR, compensation, and retention strategies and technologies.
