I'm kinda glad you're still here so I can tell you I told you so. It was obvious you couldn't get enough votes for the unionnnnnn. It was the same few garbage mouths doing all the blogging.

RTSS, you can demote them now, we need help running calls.

FLT, you can fire the moron's who can't fix shit anyways.

CE3's now CE2'S, would never trust any of you ass kissers.

For all of the above, I going to laugh when they put the boot on you all since they don't need you any more.

Would like to thank the IBEW for all the effort. Guess the people I work with have no clue.

It took us two years and two votes in Philadelphia and South Jersey to finally go Union. Now all the promises will be broken by NCR and we can vote again next year. Mark my words.

It is not over yet if NCR does not change its behavor.
Everyone will act for what he/she think it is for his/her benifit.But it will be very very soon for the CE who voted NO to realize they made a mistake or they were fooled by empty promised made by NCR.
Wait and see next time.

Anonymous said...

to those who voted no--if you believed anything ncr told you then you are crazy or stupid. you will come to find out very soon how many lies they have told you. things will not improve and once you get to that magical midpoint your raise will drop or diappear. you will see all the bigwigs getting their big bonuses while you never seem to be able to make the number to reach your goals. which will probably change again by the end of the year. hopefully when we gegt a chance to vote in my area we will not give away the opportunity to have a voice in how we are treated..

The IBEW will not be going away my friend, you guys have been forming a union all along, and we will continue to help you do that.

I'm sure The travelling circus will subside and Cheadle will go back to his hole. Promises will be broken, people will be mistreated and it will be business as usual at NCR.

You have the ability to change that, you are the vehicle for change, you can fight for change and restore respect at work. You must stick together and you must now work on convincing others.

NOT GETTING PAID FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK? READ CAREFULLY:

Document your time using the system (RIM or call the D1 Dispatcher):

1)Go active on your first call when you leave the house.
2)Record when you arrive on site.
3)Record when you are finished with the call including time spent to disposition parts.
4)Include Travel Time in the call to the minute you go active on your next call.(If you do not get a new call right away, then you are still traveling so do not close the call without all of the travel time included.)

Just like punching a time card, it will show work done past 8 hrs/40hrs that should be billed as overtime. (This figure will not include Admin/Training/Meetings/etc.. so you may need to keep track of that on an excel spreadsheet and email it to yourself.)

Now compare these hours to what you are actually paid in your check.

Do not let them bully you into NOT billing them for your overtime. IE: PIP/Screaming at you/Whining about how they do not have money in the budget for overtime/Promising you 'Comp Time'/Etc./Etc./Etc.

If you are not getting paid for all of your hours then take it to the Federal Labor Board. Tell them to compare Remedy Records with Payroll records. NCR can not shred digital evidence.

WalMart Employees went to the FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF LABOR to get what they got.

NCR EMPLOYEES CAN TO. CALL THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.

Next time there is a Union Vote, put some more thought into the future you are building for employees who have not even been born yet. That will be your Legacy.

Reading the comments is very sad. The profanity is embarassing and offensive. It's simple really, more people did not want the union than did want the union. If you hate NCR, please leave the company - your co-workers are tired of your negative attitude and don't want you. Everyone is trying to move forward and you are holding us back. Please leave.

Anonymous said...

The negative and profanity laced e-mails above are a great example of the kind of people NCR CE's and managers will be dealing with if the union is voted in. I believe my raise should be based on how I perform, not how some flunky CE performs. If I do a better job than Joe CE, I deserve a better raise than Joe CE. With a union, we would ALL get the same raise...and it will likely be less than we can earn on our own merits. All for what? $600/year in dues. I don't need another bill.

Anonymous said...

to the above poster--if only it were so with ncr. you may get a better raise than someone else for a while...until you get a little over the midpoint-then forget the raises. before my paycut i had 3 years with no raise-on my pa i had 1 satifactory and 2 excellents in those 3 years. so you may deserve a better raise than someone else but that doesn't really mean much once you move up the pay scale. and then once you do move up the payscale ladder the same thing can happen to you that happened to 500 of us this year..reband you and cut your pay drastically and want you to do even more work and be happy about it!! i sure hope when we get a chance to vote on a union here that short-sighted people like you aren't around here.

To you I say......

I have had all good PA's and think I am a pretty good tech. My raises that I have gotten the last 5 or so years were negated when the CE3 to CE2 reband was put in place.
I don't like the profanity and negative comments however I do understand them. People are upset. If you have been here for any amount of time and are not management you would understand.
PS.... I would gladly pay 1 or 2% of my pay to get better conditions and a guarantee of a raise. There is no guarantee of anything in NCR, raises or bonuses. One for sure is you have no control over the numbers you are graded on. If we had that guarantee we wouldn't have the moral problem we face today.
I believe we have poor management and/or a lack of management altogether!!! They all want to know what roadblocks in our jobs can they help us remove yet they spent most of their time figuring out ways to give us the SHAFT (one day more OT than you can do one day no OT while customers don't get service). Or maybe hey they may make their bonus number how bout we change the numbers to make it unreachable.

I used no profanity and hope I wasn't to negative for you Mr or Mrs Newhire.

we may be in the minority in the boston area but not by much.. and we shall see what happens in the other areas..and no--most of us here are not democrats..and no one can see the future but if it is filled with the lies and deceit the company has fed us the last few years then a union is about the only way to try and keep what we still have. wait until it comes pa and bonus time next year. better yet i would like to see the company after the mass exodus that will occur when the bridge pay runs out. hmmm--that would leave our area with no proof, cisco, or quantum ce's and no 2nd line atm ce's. sounds like a great service organization doesn't it?

Anonymous said...

I am surely not a democrat. I am also not a unionnn person, however I do think we could use some help from a unionnn. When you have no voice and no say in how things are being forcefed to you....you need help from someone. It doesn't matter if you do a superb job or a crap job once you get to a midpoint you are done (if not before). I cant believe you don't get that!!!!
You will be first in line to suck up to the new outsourcing company when that comes around too RIGHT!!!! It's all about the $$$$ and none of us will have any when that happens. Stick around and feel are pain buddaay!!!!

Silly Fools. In Philly before our first vote we FLT workers were promissed a lot of changes if we would only not vote Union. No more shift changes every other week. More hires to ease up on the AV load. Open door policy to upper management. Some weekends off once in awhile. Good raises for good work. No off the clock meetings, conference calls, training or Admin. So the union vote lost. Guess what. They lied. Nothing changed, in fact it got a little worse. So a year went by and we voted again. This time we overwellmingly won and became Teamsters. We negotiated a three year contract and all was well. Alas no happy ending here. NCR transferred us over to NCR and out of the Union. They conveniently left behind the shop stewards and anyone of suspect character. Now I do more work for the same pay. I am on call every other week and have not had a day off on the weekend since the first of the year. Sometimes you have to walk through the fire twice until you realize you are being burned. Let's see if you no voters are happier this time next year. No profanity used.

The problem we have is that most older ce's that could retire are gone. all that is left are a few of us that remember NCR as a company we were proud to work for...when I STARTED WE HAD FREE INSURANCE NO COPAY AND WE WERE TREATED LIKE WE WERE FAMILY now we are treated like dogs...I find it hard to believe that so many kiddies not even out of diapers were stupid enough to pass on having some control over their job and life and voted no in N.E.

Next group vote for a dammned union quick!!!!

Anonymous said...

The guys that voted no to the union are just stupid lowend CE's, that have no other options. They don't want to take a chance with their jobs, because they aren't able to go to another company. All the newer CE's were hired from Walmart, where they were pushing the shopping carts in, so this job at NCR is better than they ever dreamed.

The New NCR is actually the "OLD Permond". This is what happened. NCR had permond to do first line work. It didnt really work. They were underpaided. Now the new NCR. Its not really working. We are under paided. NCR is now PERMOND!

there are jobs that pay better than the new rate" we have been demoted to. when the bridge pay runs out next july see how many stay with ncr then. i don't believe you will see many former ce3's left at this time next year. and to the poster above talking about walmart--yes they are pissed with the level of service they have been getting. i believe they will be merging back the "bread route" guys and the other ce's very soon. then they will expect the experienced ce's to try to make everything all better..like we really care as much after being treated the way we have the last 5-7 years?! ya right.....you wanna keep taking from me and expect me to keep on giving?? ain't gonna happen.....

It's going on NOW! The experienced CE's are leaving, and NCR is having trouble just hiring warm bodies for the low wages they offer. I'm on bridge pay now, and will be gone before it expires. I have already been offered 10% more than my base pay from another company, for a CE-1 job they had open, and they still have 4 teirs of CE's!

Anonymous said...

You saw Cicero on a Time Warner site and your conclusion is that your being used to generate revenue for the union. You really need to find out what is going on the world of working people. Gas prices recently hit $4.00 a gallon and why was that. There was no shortage.Oil companies in their insatiable need for more profit just kept raising the price and kept adding to record breaking profits and the price of everything kept going up as well. Not evrything however went up. The workers salaries went down.NCR like the oil companies in the face of better than expected earnings, and signing new contracts everyday cut the workers salaries and doubled the CEO's pay.This isn't about generating revenue for the unions this is a struggle to save the middle class of America. If you look you will find Cicero not only on a Time Warner site but also on the Comcast site, and you will find him writing flyers for Verizon Business, One Communications, Direct T.V., and anywhere workers are willing to stand up and say enough.

p.s. as far as NCR goes just remember its not who wins the battle but who wins the war!

speak for yourself-"most of us"? the union vote only lost by 8 votes and that is most likely due to the propaganda and lies ncr told the new people from fls. once they see what ncr told them is a pack of lies they will see different. and none of the other areas have gone to a vote yet so how do you know that "most of us" don't want a union? i personally wish it didn't come to having to need a union but ncr has brought it on themselves. every year they have taken something else from us and given more to the bigwigs. if expenses are so high they can't get the contracts they want then why not cut across the board? the union is the only way we will be able to stop the onslaught from ncr on our way of life.

YOU are the one who is unwanted here. This is a blog for pro union employees. You know, the ones who havent gotten screwed for many years now. I will be leaving the company soon enough (right after the last bridge payment)If you are happy with the way the company treats you, then good for you. But dont come in this blog and tell us the union is a bad thing. Some one has to stand up to the idiots in charge of this company. The union may have lost a battle, but they have not lost the war. As another blogger put it, NCR will never live up th=o their phony promises. A few years ago it was "quality of life", then "we feel your pain, now "we heard you loud and clear." And you antiunion types fall for it everytime. What have they EVER done to make our lives better? Cut our pay? Lower our bonus's? Reduce our benefits? Freeze our pensions?. The only ones whose lives are better are Nuti and his flunkies. I wish that they all took a 30% paycut. But no, wait, THEY have contracts. This is far from over, and even after I am gone, I hope the fight continues.
So if you dont want a union, fine, then stay off this blog, because it wasnt created for fools like you

The problem is NCR will not just stop here. NCR's utmost goal is outsourcing. It has been happening in most area of Canada except the UNIONIZED area.It is just matter of time IT will come to your and my areas.
One day in the near futur and my guess is less than two years, NCR will tell all CE1 and CE2 except the UNIONIZED areas that
NCR does need you any more. There is company-TECH ON DEMAND as example- will take over your job. You are welcome to join this compnay to do the same job as you do for NCR.Nothing change except your salary and benifits aill be reduced for ONLY 25%.
I am not kidding here.The TECH-ON-DEMAND is a real company. IT hired 60 people in NY/NJ right before the talk between teamsters and NCR for new contract. This company told these 60 guys that They will have a permerant job and be working in Metro area for NCR equipments. Everyone will have a vehicle and good pay-$12 to $15??. A lot of these guys quit their old jobs and waiting for this new CAREER. But most of them were just dismissed for there was no strike and they were not needed any more. NCR DOES hired some from these 60 guys and sent them to Dayton for ATM training. What happened was most of them could not pass the training. Well, what you can expect for people worth $12/h.
So, time will tell who is right. For the managers who pretend to be a CE and post their anti-union messages here: Watch out . You will be fired soon because there will be no CE for your to manage any more. The New outsourcing companies will only hire CE not managers. and you will not find any manager position in other corp. either for they are doing the same sh$%t as NCR: outsourcing.
For the CE who vote no to union:
Opening your eyes and look very very caredully to find out what is the best choice for youself. You will be the next to feel and suffer the same pains we have now.
We have one more chance left. We will be all doomed if we miss it again. GO UNION.

To the person who wrote above:
Obviously, you are not a demoted CE3. No demoted CE3 will feel happy about the pay cut. You sound like CE2 or CE1 who feels what you got is just you deserved. But mark my word here that NCR will not just stop doing his great goal: Disband the CE and outsourcing the service business. NCR top managers believe it is more profitable to just selling the equiptments and outsource the services.
Your and our days are numbered. NCR may keep some CE as RTSS but it will outsourc all the FLM and most 2nd line job. They just need keep some experts- which must be from the old CE3- to run extra difficult calls that outsourcing companies can not handle.
It is just matter of time for this final step to kick in if WE do not do anything. The problem here is not union is good/bad or right/wromg. It is the only option on the table.You are either a manager or a stupid CE1 /CE2. In either case you will be doomed as the demoted CE3. You will be fired for there will be no need for managers to manage CE, if you are a manager. Or you will be dismissed for OUTSOURCING, if you are a CE1/CE2.
There may be another possibility that you think you may not be affected in either case for you may be one of the higher managers. Think about the fact: High rank managers will be not needed also if the lower managers are gone. There will only Top managers and their sectaries left.You will be probably be fired right after WE are done by NCR.So, if you are smart enough I think you should say GO UNIONNNNNNNNN.

They picked the kiss asses for the RTSS position. I'm going to laugh my ass off when they get demoted and thrown away like an old shoe.

I love it when the RTSS who can't fix shit are out there working O.T. for free. I used to stay and work until the shit was fixed. Now when my shift is over I just leave the mess for our local brown nose RTSS. Usually the ass hole can't fix it, but that's NCR'S problem not mine anymore. I'm just working here until I find a real job.

Like the "Nut-job", I feel I'll be out of here soon so who cares. But it's not greed that caused my attitude. We all know the rest of that story.

Anonymous said...

In our weekly territory con call we were told to keep the overtime under 15% and that there was no talk of cutting jobs yet. Were do they get these guys? We have too much overtime because we don't have enough people to cover the shifts needed to cut the over time. We have to run calls after 1700 cause management tells customers that we will service equipment 7/24. So if we can't cut over time they will cut jobs. Less people will cause more over time then before which will lead management to cut more jobs. Before you know it no more people and no more overtime, problem solved.

Remember when NCR was a World Class Company? Now it seems NCR wants to be known as a Third World Class Company.

We have stopped building ATM's in Canada and Scotland, both places that works took pride in what they produced. Now ATM's are built in places like Turkey, Brazil, India and communist China. Do you really think that works in these places care about what they produce.

Our CEO also acts like a third world dictator. He does what ever he pleases without regrade for the contract that he agreed to. He never moved to Dayton, which he said he would. He moved our executive offices to New York City. He has cut his employees pay while he spends money like there will be no tomorrow.

I know a city bus driver that now makes better money than I do. He has been driving a bus for 23 years and is making 52,000 a year. I did make a lot more then he did as a CE3 with 30 years at NCR. But the bus drivers here have a Union to look after them. The don't have to work their asses of for the elusive bonus at the end of the year, they get real raises.

World Class Company or third world company? You decide, I have.

RE: "He works through his lunch hour, does his parts on his own time. "
Send an email to your TM and copy the CE and Human Resources pointing out that this CE is working off the clock. It is management RESPONSIBILITY to make sure that employees are compensated for all of their labor. If the TM does not put an end to the off the clock work, file a complaint with the Federal Dept. of Labor. We have given too much for too long. Kiss ass employees DO NOT get bigger raises or bonuses, they just work for less.

You are correct, Mr. Unionnnnnn....I do not work in the field...anymore. (Been retired for a while). You are wrong about me being a "dues collector"...I was a "dues PAYER"....and proud of it, too. Got a raise every single year, and held on to my dignity. The "dues payers" may be down a little now - but they are all still many thousands of dollars ahead of all the rest of you...not to mention their working conditions are far superior. Your willingness to accept the dregs your employer throws at you is your own choice, but to exort others to roll over and beg is indicative of a subservient personality flaw. By the way, thanks for your service to your country...Navy, I believe you said? I hope to God you are no longer on duty - our military can do without people of your servile persuasion.

Oh, Oh...I think I touched a nerve here. FYI: one of the things we fight to protect is the right to question ANYONE on ANYTHING...it's what sets Americans apart from the rest of the world. You state you are resolved to "protect our country and my family"...you sound as if you do not have a family of your own? Perhaps not, but one must protect their country and family from " all enemies, both foreign and domestic"....remember that phrase when you were sworn into the military? I do. Seems to me Domestic enemies are trashing our families' quality of life, and rewarding Corporate Pirates with millions of dollars taken from working families. NCR is certainly not alone in this. My point to you is that this is simply wrong, and should not be accepted as the inevitable. P.S. tried to refrain from childish name-calling....I agree there is a huge lot of really awful stuff on this site lately, but it is understandable...people have been badly abused by an employer they have given so much to....

Anonymous said...

Our Mr. Unionnnn is right out of the textbook "American Labor History 101". He has just admitted to being what is known in the labor movement as "Agents-provacateurs". These are persons hired by companies to infiltrate union ranks - especially during strikes - and stir up trouble by falsely provoking workers into doing something illegal, bringing public opinion against them. Historically they have been quite successful. A classic example: dress up like a striker at a large public rally where you will not be recognized. Wear union pins and be very vocal and pro-union. When the Mounted Police start to push the crowd back because they are becoming too unruly, reach into your pocket and toss a lit string of firecrackers under a Cop's horse. Then run TOWARD the line of enraged cops, pulling off your union buttons and hat. You will be safe because the cops are all charging the other way into the demonstrators, swinging their clubs. Of course, you can fire a pistol shot instead - and create a Real bloodbath. You know, folks - you can't "make this stuff up". Check your history - and don't read a biased pro-union version. Look it up in government records. Mr. Unionnn is right about me being "no fun" - he enjoys stirring up the "exploding heads". Keep your emotions under control, your wits about you, and your resolve intact....and you CAN WIN in the long run. I'd be interested to see if anyone other than our friend Mr. Unionnnn is reading this. If I don't see any comments until he gets back from vacation, I will assume you've all given up! P.S. I don't give a damn if your spelling and grammar are poor!

the scenario described above where someone fakes being a union guy to infiltrate the union movement illustrates why all this union talk is is so very wrong for NCR. We may have issues as a company, but they are nothing compared to the kind of division, corruption and unrest that comes when you introduce a union into a company. I've been through it and can tell you first hand it is the kiss of death.

Just stumbled into this website glassdoor.com - that people write in reviews of the company they work for and tell their salary. It is all anonymous. The idea being is that salaries/pay should be known-- and everyone should be paid a fair rate of pay for thier work. The site is free. In order to access the reviews you have to send in a review. Then you can read other people's whole review. If it becomes public knowledge what people are being paid and how they are being treated = new employees may or may not show up to work at the company.

“Becoming a great place to work”
Anonymous in New York, NY (United States) Current Employee
Pros Fantastic CEO. Lots of great business opportunities in lots of new exciting industries. Developing some leading edge software solutions.

Cons Need a team to make the opportunities happen. There needs to be a 'winning attitude' to capture these new opportunities. If people do not like the company, they should quit. Need people to support the direction of NCR.

Advice to Senior ManagementInvest in training of management. Managers need to be stronger and investing in training and IT tools is necessary to win.

Is there anyway we can block the IP's of the trolls? Or, at least identify where they are coming from?

I heard they where moving stuff as well. How can moving to more expensive real estate gonna save the company money?

Also, can one of the union guys let me know if signing the card is good for one yearly vote; or, is it good for as long as I'm working at NCR?

What a crock! Go to NCR U and take your 2 hour test to see how smart you are. May be you will get some kind of recognition out of it. What a joke, a bad joke. If they really want to make things better they can give me my CE3 status and all my money back from all the piss ass raises that I earned in the last 29 years. That would be a good start if they really wanted to make things better. They think if they blow smoke up our butts we will smile and be happy with NCR.

One suggestion to the CE got too much unwanted OT:
Domino Pizza used to have a gurantee to deliver its pizza to customers in 30(40?) minutes. It run commercial of this guarntee on TV at one time. One of its deliverman had a accident and someone was injured. The lawyer who represented the injured sued Domino Pizza for creating the pressure to have its employee to rush and eventuelly cause this accident and injury to his client. So, Domino Pizza is liable to his client's injury. Domino Pizza lost this case and had to pay a lot lot of money. Domino Pizza then dropped its gurantee of deliver in 30 min forever.
I think there is something You can learn from it. Write a memo to your TM and cc to your district Manager, saying you are working long hours almost every day for many weeks/monthes. You are sleeping many times while your were driving from one call to another call. You are afraid of having ACCIDENT and someone or youself may be injured or ,GOD forbid,killed and NCR may bear the liability for the accident because NCR PUSH OR LET ITS WORKER WORK UNREASONABLE LONG HOURS. You do not want it happen but THERE SHOUlD BE A KIND OF LIMIT for the long hours' working. and ask thier responds of your concern. And maybe you can tell them the Domino Pizza's story.
Keep your menmo/email as a record. Your TM and district manager will not push you too much any more IF THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH.

some states allow employers who supply work vehicles 30 minutes at the beginning of the day as travel non pay time since they figure if you had to drive to work it would take an average of 30 minutes. two examples are virginia says the first 30 minutes are non pay at the begining and end. I think there are only 3 states that says when you leave the house it is paid somewhere in arizona or washington I think. It depends on the state. some states are different

Ound 2 of job screwing has started. There has been a tremendous push to hire CE1s. This is a stepping stone for things to come. Remember this comment. More of the work will be rebanded again as CE1 work and the next round of reductions will be here in the very near future. And all you guys shot down the union! You will wish you hadn't. P.S.

How many times do have to see the idiot advertise for glasshouse? Its not going to to change anything. The LT of NCR have no ethics, or morals, and comments on a small website aren't going to change anything.That same ad has been on here at least 6 times.

There are a lot of people out there right now who would kill to have your job, even with the lousy paycheck. It doesn't quite seem right when seen in perspective, does it?

If the company was doing lousy I wouldn't mind taking a cut but NCR and our CEO are making Winfall Profits. So who cares if others are losing there jobs, NCR is FUCKING US and using the economy as an excuse. When I started in the late 70's there was a recession and they didn't pull this Bullshit! We had a decent company back then, not run by a GREEDY CEO who should be shot!!

Some comments from Glassdoor.com

“Stop! Do not apply! Trun back now!”
Software Engineer/Analyst in Orlando, FL (United States) Current Employee ProsI have not found a good reason. I am actively seeking another position elsewhere. NCR is good for people that enjoy working long hours for little to no recognition. It is a great place to work if you are not interested in growth, advancement, a life, good health benefits, or respect.

ConsLack of respect from senior management. Higly charged political environment. No solid direction. R&D/Engineering does not create products. Lack of solid software development practices. No SDLC in place. Health Benefits are horrible. No opportunities for career/professional growth. Long hours (well into the wee hours of the morning). Constant network/IT infrastructure problems. Off-shoring technical jobs with little benefit.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop playing politics, treat your people better, get a better health plan, learn how to develop products, and learn how to develop software.

“30 good years out of 40”
Technical Services Representative Past Employee (2006) Pros40 year career was rewarded not only with ample monetary compensation but with community respect. I lacked nothing I needed in the way of equipment and experienced, qualified help.

Conswhen I retired it had become a numbers game. when I questioned the lack of time to do quality work the answer was quality no longer was the target. quality had been replaced by quantity. unfortunately I did not work in an arena that afforded me the opportunity to make the numbers. I am not one to lie about where I had been and what work I had completed so every day became a frustrating experience.

CE2 in Dallas, TX (United States) Current Employee ProsTo get hands on experience. There are a few opportunities for good ce's, rtss, atm, tm, but my experience with NCR is once you go salary NCR own's you.

“Top heavy management looking out for themselves. Employees are stifled, ignored and unappreciated.”
Professional Services Consultant in Washington, DC (United States) Current Employee ProsYou will work with quality employees who thrive on satisfaction from a job well done.

ConsThere is rarely promotion from within the company. As a result of this culture, managers will stifle their employee's growth potential in fear of their own positions. The company focus is cost savings not potential growth. The employee is treated as a cost, not an asset.

It is a common occurrence for the company to issue annual employee reviews where 80% of the force gets 0% raise, and nobody receives more than 3%. In 50% of my years here I have received an exceptional review and offered nothing more than an excuse for why times are tough at NCR. In the meantime I have watched the Senior management getting millions of dollars in bonuses.

Advice to Senior ManagementQuit bleeding the company for your personal benefit.

“Not so good anymore at NCR”
Customer Engineer in Pittsburgh, PA (United States) Current Employee ProsI currently can no think of any. If anything compared to other companies some of the benefits are slightly better than smaller companies. Even those though have eroded over the years. When you hear a 30 year retired vet tell you that it's only in the bast 7-10 years that things have gotten real bad in the company, and in my own limited time seeing that downfall, I cant say I'm proud of NCR. I wanted to be proud to work for a progressive modern company, but now the bottom line is all that matter regardless of anything else.

ConsI believe that the biggest is that upper management has lost touch with how the field really operates.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop paying so much attention to numbers and start paying attention to how the different territories work.

“NCR is bad for now.”
Customer Engineer in Pittsburgh, PA (United States) Current Employee ProsI currently don't see any.

ConsMany, but mostly management has lost touch with employee's. I'm not talking about wages either. I understand hardware tech doesn't pay what it use to. On the other hand you don't have to have to give massive bonuses for RIF's and the such. If field techs need to take a cut, why doesn't upper management need to cut back too.

“should be great but is not”
Product Manager in Dundee, Scotland (United Kingdom) Past Employee (2006) ProsExcellent location with low cost of living. A market leader in it's field for the past 15 years. If involved with successfull projects the considerable scope for international travel.

ConsJob security is non existent. Progression is random. Cuts seem to be random with no real assesment of contribution or skills. Aggressive cost cutting seems to continue unabated with no consideration of the affect on employee morale. Pretty much a short term view on everything. Employees can be very negative.

Advice to Senior ManagementRemember that people work for NCR and that they can be motivated or demotivated. Currently their are few activities that will actually motivate people.

I am a CE2 in New England. I voted for the union. I am sad to see that so many of my fellow CE's can't see the writing on the wall. There will be more reductions and rebandings. It is the NCR management style. More for less, unless you are at the top, and then it's a 16.4 million dollar bonus.

I also must fault the IBEW for not getting as involved as they should have.
The company held mandatory meetings in which they painted the union as thugs and money hungry individuals. While I ignored this propaganda many of my fellow CE's did not. The union should have met with us and answered all our questions. They did not. They sent out fliers instead. Many CE's felt that that we were too small for the union to care about us. We already have one entity screwing us, we did not need a second one.I fault the union for that.
The IBEW is just as responsible for the loss as any CE that voted against it.
I hope the IBEW has learned a lesson.

It took a punch in the face for the New England CE to read the writing on the wall. The ibew never cared about you or your buddies. It only hoped to gain your dues. Those who are already in the union aren't going to tell you they got sucker punched so they'll try to convince you to "c'mon in, the water's fine" just so they can feel like they weren't the only ones duped.

In answer to the post about having meetings with the union I will say that I had meetings all over N.Y. and N.E. and we had conference calls for those who couldn't make the meetings because of being on call or family commitments or any other reason to answer any questions that any CE may have had. I agree though that we need to meet face to face , a flyer is no substitute for an open discussion. You have laid a solid foundation for forming a union and the time for meetings and discussion on how to move forward is now. I will meet with any CE anywhere just call so that we can arrange a meeting. 978-302-3690

You dont seem to get it. They want us gone. We get the most vacation, the most pay. Every former CE3 that stays around after the bridge payments end is just doing the company a favor. They dont care if everyone of us quit. They will hire more people for peanuts, until they run the company into the ground. It wont take too long. They cant keep qualified people now, and the new hires come in, get a little training, then leave. Do whatever you need to do, but dont ever think you are going to shame this company into doing the right thing, because you cant shame anyone with no morals or no conscience.

I've been with NCR for a year now and I absolutely thought I was joining a world class company and wanted to love my new position here. I was all about helping my peers, all about sla's, training, and everything else that was asked of us.
I resently relocated from the Mid-West to the Central area. Ive been here for just about two months and finally had enough. These guys here have no clue of how to run things. They are way, way understaffed, the staff they do have are half-retarted, and the management act like glorified baby sitters. Never have I worked in a place so disorganized, its amazing they get any business at all and from what I hear from some of the customers they are serious making plans on taking their business elsewhere.
When I arrived here there were 15 CE's here (they needed twice that), that was about 7 weeks ago and they are now down to 7. We're talking about 20 calls in your que by 8am, constant harrassment from account managers, territory manager, control tower, peachtree and Im sure there was more... The schedules are so messed up you cant even get two days off in a row, and av is twelve hour shifts (since they never run out of calls) then opccational wake-up in the middle of the night to run switch calls at walmart, then back to work at 8am its sickening. Ive had it, I just called in and quit, Ive been off a week now and never felt better, f**k this place. Cant wait for my exit interview. There was a guy that quit the day before me and a guy that quit two days after. Good luck remaining team member, get out and get a better job, this one sucks.
I dont buy into the "things are going to get better" attitude managers try to feed us while they suck the life out of us and make us feel like sh** on top of it.
