My Paper
Wednesday, Dec 12, 2012
SINGAPORE - Seagate Technology has apologised for "derogatory" comments posted by a Filipino employee on his personal Facebook page, which called some Singaporeans "rotten locals".
In a Facebook post on the company's support page yesterday, Seagate said: "We deeply apologise for this and would like to make it clear that he was speaking in his individual capacity."
The employee, Mr Carlos Pestano III, posted last Friday that Singaporean employees in his company who worked under foreign bosses were "bitter". He added: "You can improve over time and maybe start with your manners."
On his Facebook page, Mr Pestano is listed as a process engineer with the storage-solutions company, which also makes hard drives. He is from the province of Rizal in the Philippines.
My Paper believes he has been working here for at least four years.
The Seagate response said: "Please rest assured that we take this matter seriously, even though it was posted on an employee's personal page."
The company added that it is looking into the matter and will take necessary disciplinary measures.
By press time, a screenshot of Mr Pestano's comments had been shared about 150 times on Facebook and garnered attention on online forums.
One netizen wrote: "Be reminded that if he does have locals working 'under' him, and to have such open contempt for them, I sincerely doubt he is or is going to be very effective as a leader of any sort."
Another netizen said that it's one thing that he did not speak for the company, and another thing that he chose to use his freedom of speech.

More importantly, has MOM cancelled his Employment Pass so that the BRITON can Balek Kampong.
He has PR.
Now that he has been sacked, I wonder if his wife will leave him. After all no SPG wants to be with a jobless bum.
Also, will he have to take public transport if he can't afford to maintain his Porshe?

Somebody has to come back to settle matters for him ...like termination of lease of the Sentosa Cove rental, the car.
If the SPG and angmo fight because of this, so much better.
There has to be karma.

Anton, please turn off the lights on your way out and don't come back.

Eeeeeeee......Condemn AC by all means, but the responses are riddled with grammatical errors. Do these people have basic primary education?
Casey can live off his Miss Sinkie's salary.
Very sad that till this day, this country still needs the old pack leader. Where is the new leader? Or is it that in the past, the old one had done such a great job in identifying pups with leadership and treating them as future threats if they didn't subscribe to its beliefs and ways and chasing them out of the land.
