Thread regarding NCR Corp. layoffs

Here’s how it’s likely to go…

If you think the dust has settled, think again. I’m going to do my best “Carnac the Magnificent” impression (look it up for those under 50) and predict what’s going to happen…

  1. Sale of digital banking division goes through
  2. Most of the proceeds of the sale go to paying down debt and staving off bankruptcy
  3. Stock ticks up just enough (maybe $15 - $16 range)
  4. Product continues to plug the holes in the software
  5. They announce a few partnerships
  6. Stock price stays in a place that tantalizes but never really satisfies investor analysts
  7. In another 3 months (probably before the end of Q3) more layoffs occur
  8. Some time in Q4, a buyer emerges for what remains.
  9. Come 2025, Voyix is bought and is absorbed into company not for its tech, but for its client list.

For those of you who are still hanging on, ask yourself if you’re critical to that path of making the company just attractive enough to be bought. If not, you’re likely part of the larger plan to slim down the company.

Let’s be clear - this is a fire sale. The layoffs are a part of a negotiation with the market to get company into a place where it can be sold and the shareholders can recoup their investment.

Most of IT being outsourced to Cognizant and HCL. When Digital Banking sells they will have to make even deeper cuts due to loss of profit that Banking brings in. So those of us that still have a job are here until either our jobs go to outsourcers or Banking sales closes.

When you focus on cost reduction headcount is the place to go especially before selling. People are a digit nothing more only whilst they needed them. Covid /system change/ implementation/ deadlines. Non proper pay increase or overtime. When they are done with you they ghost or be little you ….all red flags visible. You decide go or let them get rid of you. It is so clear. Just prep yourself.

When directors started taking trips to India then getting promoted to VP - it was pretty obvious that the sh-t was about to hit the fan. Turns out paving the way to fire all of your colleagues is a rewardable action at NCR Voyix. Someone should write one of those Employee Kudoos posts for the newly minted VPs who helped axe all the jobs that were just lost in America to be farmed out to Indian firms. I’m sure they’ll appreciate the money.

Seems plausible. They partnered with Google. Failed on some big projects. Digital Banking is up for grabs.

Exactly …said this from the start and management layer did not want to hear that. How on earth could you think that.
So easy to predict

Outsourcing and contractors are a huge part of the plan, and this is the layoff part of it, replacing as many employees as possible with cheaper labor.

Damn, sounds like you read DW’s mind.

Of course simple minds have always been easy to read.
