Default Dayton-based company to possibly relocate to Atlanta
If it happens, it will bring not only it's headquarters but an additional 1,300 jobs to the Atlanta metro.

Mishap will become famous soon enoughMishap will become famous soon enough
As a former employee of NCR, I'd just like to say they're not really as big a deal as its being made out to be. The company is far past its prime and destined to fall off the Fortune 500 in the next year or two despite having been on the list since its inception. In its prime it had over 60,000 employees in the early 90's down to roughly 20,000 today. The former AT&T had a lot to do w/ the company's terrible performance since they bought NCR and subsequently spun it back off in under a decade causing massive losses in human capital.

The company long ago dumped most of its high paying jobs and shipped a lot of its IT to places cheaper than Bangalore so a lot of the 1,300 jobs are simply admin and finance (which will be made up of people from Dayton rather than new hires here).

The company's single greatest achievement was firing Thomas Watson...the guy who made IBM what it is.

That said, I did enjoy my year and a half there. I got to write systems that millions of people use every day and work w/ Fortune 500 retailers hired straight out of college. Loved working w/ the people there but apparently putting in 60-70+ hr weeks for months at a time meant sub 3% raises. Raised my salary 45% at my next job and never looked back.

Its a done deal. HQ will relocate to Duluth with 1250 corporate positions. There will also be a manufacturing operation in Macon with another 880 jobs. Apparently they scouted Savannah and Columbus as possible sites for the manufacturing plant. Perdue is supposed to make the announcement Tuesday afternoon.

NCR HQ Move

Whichever way you want to look at it, it's still good news.
