Seagate apologises after foreign employee calls S'poreans 'rotten' and 'bitter'

[BuiKia]

Seagate Technology has apologised on their facebook page for comments made by one of their engineers who called some Singaporeans 'rotten' and 'bitter'.

In a post on their facebook page, Seagate made it clear that they were aware of the offensive comments and apologised for them. They also promised to look into the matter immediately and take the 'necessary disciplinary measures where needed'.

More than ten STOMPers had written in over the insensitive comments, which had been posted on his personal facebook page. According to his facebook page, the engineer is a Filipino working in Singapore.

Here are some STOMPers' comments regarding the incident.

"Look at this proud Pinoy FT working in Seagate calling us locals 'rotten'.

"Should we send him back to where he belongs?"

Jazz wrote:

"As you can see in the screenshot taken below on his profile page, it shows his comments on Singaporeans on facebook, viewable by everyone.

"He is listed as a member of Seagate, a Process Engineer at Seagate Technology International (W1)."

"He refers to Singaporeans as 'rotten locals', calls us 'bitter', and says most of us are 'working under us (Pinoys)'."

Samm also commented:

"Look at this Filipino's remarks about Singaporeans.

"I came across a photo on facebook.

"A Filipino working in Seagate, based in Singapore, is making racist remarks about locals.

"I do not condone his language used because they are offensive and mean.

"It will just stir up more angst between the foreign talents and locals here."

"This is really disturbing.

"This Pinoy guy should get fired by Seagate."

This Pinoy dude must be in a bad mood after his national hero Manny Pacquiao got KO'ed in a recent boxing match.

Beware. Full time MP Baey will be telling us to reflect and see if the Pinoy Dog is telling the truth.

The employer appears not to be taking this very seriously, and I am not surprised.

In response to online feedback about the disparaging remarks made by one of their employees, Seagate chooses to leave a message on its Facebook profile. In other words, a shadow responding to shadows. That is the online world for you.

Boycott seagate.

Been purchasing only Seagate hard drives since the 1990s. Are other brands such as Western Digital good?

Also, I'm amazed that Seagate only has a one-year warranty on a lot of its products. You would think that by hiring such cheap Pinoy trash, Seagate could have used the savings to beef up product warranty.

As I have posted in the other thread, I think it's time for PM to find his two low hanging fruits and do a surgical
strike to remove this cancerous growth before it jeopardizes our national security.

With 1.3 millions (and counting) of jokers in our midst clustering across several strategic sectors, it's time to act!

Time to skin a few snakeheads to scare the monkeys!

"This is a manifestation of our "Growth At All Cost" Policy with a heavy reliance on foreign talents. Coupled with our
inert politicians' self-interest to bootlick this category of potential citizens and voters. Instead of nipping the problem at
the bud and they hip praises and excuses to try and appease this talents, thus, emboldening them further!

Starting with the more vocal Chinese talents, it has now infected the Pinoys and soon will infect the Nehs.

I am not sure the exact composition of each class of talents, however the danger lays more in the Pinoy and Nehs because
of their better education, more proficient in the language and clustering in the health care and financial services to cause
greater harm!

We should send a clear message such as those from the Australian Prime Minister who make it unequivocally clear on
the position of talents and immigrants.

I quote:-

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It . . . We will accept your beliefs, and will not question
why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

For a lady … she got balls!

labour quality and warranty are correlated. Next round they use Blangah labour, only give one month warranty.

Worse, they move to PRC, and you look carefully at the product, it says "SEEGATE" & 90days warranty & 12 months carry in.

NO 2nd chance!!!

Nowadays, hard drives seldom fail DOA. In fact, I've a 2.5 inch Seagate drive that failed 3 months into its warranty. So, it's a matter of heng-suay if you bought a lemon.

The warranty is of no use, with the one to one exchange, as your data, if sensitive and confidential, should not be in the hands of the manufacturer. You don't know what they do to the drive once you give it to them. Even the hotline customer service cannot tell you exactly what is done to the drive. I called the customer service and is not convinced of the security of my data in their hands. I asked if I can drown it in water before returning it and he said it will void the warranty. So, I decided to write the expense off.

Pinoys always have relatives, parents and grand-parents die.... resurrected....and die again. They simply aren't clocking enuf working hours enough to handle such a long warranty period lah HAHAHA !
