does u mean they will be going move to penang?

One of my friend's friend get retrenched by Komag and he got 100k+ for the package. 

If the management team are the same after bought over by WD, i don't think the working style will change!

It is too early to say that. Let's wait and see lah!

haih...nowdays workin quite troublesome also... got offer susah..dont have also susah.....

To answer your questions in the earlier post.
Fresh grad pay at WD is 2500. Currently bonus got 3 times a year. Feb and Aug will payout performance bonus (variable no fixed amount) and Dec bonus is contractual 1 month bonus. OT claims are rm20 + one way mileage, if you work more than 2 hours out of regular time. If you work more than 4 hours out of regular hours, its rm40. Coming back to work on weekends, you can claim OT as per above, but you can claim for journey 2 ways. Journey claims are distance from house to WD @45 sens per km. Normally, working hours are quite ok, average go home time is 7pm, max go home time is 8pm, unless got MAJOR issues.

As far as I know bonus scheme will be the same throughout WD, although different sites will definately get different performance bonus. No idea how much Penang site got this year. I think pay wise, definately Komag will be higher compared to WD @ Sg Way.

Diff companies will have diff probation period. Some companies will confirm you once you reporting for your work.

Agilent and Avago will confirm you on Day 1.

What is Graduate Leadership Programme  ?

Candidates will be rotated within all the dept's for 6 months before being absorbed into one of the dept's.
