Hi guys, I've heard a rumour that in November we will have another round of letting people go in NCRA. Does anyone know anything more?

Lots of goofing off going on, that’s been the NCR culture.
Are those the same freedoms remote office workers get to “goof off” instead of going into office? Unlike remote office, Atleos techs have multiple GPS, cameras on and inside vehicle, etc. Company knows at all times where a tech is and what they’re doing.
9 week’s severance is nothing, union contracts actually state an exact number of weeks, one I know is written 1 week severance for every 2 years of service up to 52 weeks if you were to last 50+ years……by then they hope you quit and retire, in that case you get no severance.
The number of weeks you get without a union will be the minimum weeks the law states for your location, when I was let go with zero notice the law stated 8 weeks in my last paycheck, then had an offer with additional weeks if I signed the papers, the papers signed all rights away to ever get anything else from them, was over 20 pages of legality.
They could offer you more, but won’t, if you have any doubts, get advice from an employment lawyer.
Buckle up as it is going to be a wild ride!
You are correct, brinks already has first line maintenance techs, these people are also cash replenishers, so guess who gets let go, the Atleos FLM techs, unless they agree to riding around in the armoured car, Atleos techs will never do that, they lose all their freedoms to goof off, clearing a receipt paper jam or bill jam is now on a very tight cash load schedule on a route that can’t stop, the truck has gotta keep moving.
@dt Nov 2nd with 9 weeks severance which is what's been given to the last RIFs would go perfectly right to the end of the year.
@pr well the 1st thing they need to teach is how to properly load cash. I can see them wanting to have us carry cash and replenish atms. Sure hope not. I draw the line there.
Brinks has been getting training on servicing ATMs. Be foolish to think they are not looking at cutting at least a portion of Atleos techs once buyout is complete.
I've been telling my fellow techs ( I hate the term ce) for the last several months that another round of cuts is coming by the end of the year. They're gonna trim the fat before the big take over! I'm retiring in a few years so I'm just trying to hang on and ride it out.
Fasten your seat belt, rough road ahead!
there is a reply under some previous post here on this site about “confirmed” rif in atleos on Nov 2.
Heard same thing from a reliable source. No mention of what orgs/where or when, just that they are coming.
fyi, I got let go a few years ago on Nov 1
WTF? Bad batch of coke?
