Thread regarding NCR Corp. layoffs

Swingers ? If they were those people were in Dayton. Come to think about it did you ever see any of the people that lived and worked in Dayton? They deserved each other if they were. Sounds about as enticing to me as going to a nu-e beach and sitting in the overweight section.

Then the other screwup was center of excellence. In 1995 it was Atlanta area. I was moved there from NJ. Never materialize. In 2000 there was talk of this again and it location. It settled on west Columbia South Carolina area. They moved people from Minnesota Dayton Atlanta areas to South Carolina to the engineering building. It never materialized. Peach tree was outsourced. And now they started on making it the center of excellence. market crashes 2007/8 every thing on hold. It Ramps back up eventually then start to move people again. They sold the west Columbia sc office people worked virtual. Till they were let go.
There was a long term vision with 3 global centers called “follow the sun”. But short term profits and no longer any long term vision became the norm .
Really I just don’t get it. I was at level 2 in new jersey’s on att side. Moved to Atlanta for area for basically a technical center in Duluth then moved to South Carolina to a technical to be build and left and laid of mr there as the new idea of the year was peach tree city.. if this ain’t some fkup upper management I don’t know what is. when I think of all the money they spent to move people around and not accomplish anything what does this impression leave on a person.

@1lnc+1mixwIq6 Your statement is incorrect. Nuti was never in the process of moving the full blown HQ to NYC. I know exactly what happened. NCR made a substantial renovation investment in the facility in Peachtree City and making it a training hub.
Gov Perdue took great pleasure in this and met with Nuti when the training facility officially opened. Perdue offered Nuti a sweetheart deal with tax incentives and relocation expenses if he moved the Dayton HQ to Georgia. Nuti took the deal. The NYC office served it's purpose while Nuti was still with NCR. NYC was never intended to be permanent and Nuti knew it would all consolidate to Atlanta when he left sooner than later because of his health.

Guess I should said ATT home computer business failed not the entire part. They had a lot of good talent just poor execution due to greed

Possibly when ATT bought NCR it fractured somehow. Maybe a partnership between the 2 would been better. Att computer division wasn’t that good so they off load it to by buy ncr to take it over. But they brought in att managers, very bad move here. Att also used this to get rid of and layoff alot of union employees. They could reapply at ncr tho. Funny thing many manages and services center employees were not laid off but were told they would receive one year pay from att if they stayed with ncr this was in addition to the salary they received from NCR and it would last for 3 years. Most didn’t like the merger but the extra paycheck they couldn’t resist. On top of that getting moved to Atlanta from New Jersey and New York was a bonus also. As NCR does not or did not recognize cost of living adjustments based on location. So you could imagine all this extra money at a lower cost of living. Now add ncr pays the cost to move anll your stuff and closing costs on both homes and some extra they put in for stuff like new curtains.

Nuti wanted it in NYC cause he lived in Long Island. Wife didn’t want to move. Nuti negotiated to stay in a NYC office while HQ was in Atlanta. Perks of the trade I guess. I was told move or move outta the way.
Once a top 100 company and just hovers under 500 now. Globalatlanta article quote “The Duluth-based company climbed two spots to No. 6 on the Global Outsourcing 100, its highest ranking ever on the list of industry heavy-hitters.” It is becoming a shell company it seems

Nuti was in the process of moving HQ to NYC and shutting down Atlanta when the Georgia governor gave him an offer he could not refuse.

This is true. Back in the 80s my 4th wife and I went to many employee or---s and we’d bang w dozens of couples in a single night.

Zero loyalty, terrible management. Like watching a train derail in slow motion

I heard "back in the day", most people working at NCR were swingers?
