Burned out and stuck
I’m exhausted and nowhere near retirement. Leaving feels impossible after investing this much time, but staying isn’t easy either. Sometimes I wish the decision would just be made for me.
Ranker & using a system as a metric
Timo was the only company that I know that put using a system as a metric. Like the new T-life system, employees are expected to use T-life with every customers upgrades. There was an instant recently, where ann Employee went to a store to do an... — read more

TMOBILE Layoffs 2026
Do you predict that there will be TMOBILE layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
I intend to enjoy the holidays
For once, I’ll treat myself to complete detachment from work. I’m not going to think about it, I’m not going to get anxious about what might happen next, and I’m definitely not going to get wrapped up in the idea of possibly losing my job. I’ll spend... — read more
Metro on thin ice....
Yesterday, leadership stated that individual contributors will remain the primary model moving forward, and the entire organizational hierarchy is under review. There's talk from the C-suite about increasing the number of doors per RDM to between 20... — read more
Call Center (Customer Experience Center) Impacts?
Hi gang - question for those who may know or who may have heard anything…. What are the impacts looking like for internal US base call centers? I have heard they want to close or consolidate OFFSHORE/GLOBAL CENTERS, but have not heard anything here... — read more
Rumor of two rounds of cuts in January, 2026
A round focused on middle management and across the organization. Srini/CEO did imply things would settle down by March, 2026.
RF/RNEO - What’s next?
What’s next for us? Already down to two huge regions. Will it trickle down to ICs?
Sr mgrs next?
Anyone hear that senior managers are targeted for January? What orgs and what criteria?
Fake news
Notice how @OP starts most these threads?
The Sprint doom-loop
I have said it before and I will say it again, anything that Sprint touches fails in the end. Look out T-Mobile legacy employees... I give you 5 more years before Sprint pulls T-Mobile USA into bankruptcy. Sprint and everything Sprint was and is... — read more
Liars typically fail up!
Srini?
Don't take on more work
Don't do them any favors. Please. Don't do the work left behind by those who were kicked out. The leadership wants you to do it. They want to see all the work getting done with fewer people so they can say, see, we were right to cut those employees... — read more
The day Jennifer retired, the building felt staged
Friday afternoon brought the usual choreography. A polite email chain. A cake that looked like it came from the same vendor everyone uses when they want to appear thoughtful without actually being thoughtful. Handshakes, laughter that arrived a half... — read more
No peace of mind till the second half of January, then?
God knows how many jobs will be wiped out by the coming major reorg. This holiday season will be miserable for everyone, both those already laid off, and the rest of us stuck in a limbo. The economy is terrible, inflation keeps eating away at... — read more
Severance
So this is just classic. They laid a ton of people off and the system that we are all supposed to log into to review our severance and search for jobs isn’t working. I personally know over 35 people that aren’t able to login. We all just keep getting... — read more
Any new details in Freier Q&A in OP?
They had a 30 minute extra Q&A after the AEM about the future of the OP campus. Anyone hear anything new about that?
Everyone should start looking for a job right now
Srini made it clear that a massive layoff is coming in Q1. There is no respect for any of us. I’d be willing to bet that the layoff will happen before the end of February to avoid a bonus or stock payout. Update your resumes start looking now and go... — read more
Layoff notification method
Can someone explain how the notifications were handled? I’m hearing all kinds of different stories. Was it individual calls, a group meeting, or something else entirely? My team was spared and I'm still new here, so I don't know from experience how... — read more
T-Mobile appears to be mirroring Verizon's recent changes
https://share.google/uPYtKCB2rrthJEKfu
Do we know the final number?
How many total were cut?
Srini’s AEM……
Who’s bringing the popcorn?! Any thoughts on what will be announced / shared?
Srini Gopalan - How long will he last?
The Legend of Srini Gopalan: The Accidental Triple-Threat Executive When Capital One first launched, the board had one big question: “Who do we get to run this thing?” They reviewed hundreds of résumés until they found the one — a file mysteriously... — read more
I am the Real Slim Shady
Post after post, thread after thread - I have to correct you all. We hire companies like McKinsey to cut middle management (Dir - VP). Then we "re-org" the remaining headcount (you) as we see fit and fire people managers, and a few of you who speak... — read more
Cuts don’t make much sense
They do only if you care exclusively about the short-term bottom line. We’ve been losing good people and destroying well-established and efficient teams. And it doesn’t really matter that it’s happening right before Christmas. That fact just makes... — read more
TMUS under $200. Down over 10% YTD
Thanks Sprint. You are ki-ling another company.
Volunteers
I just wish they would let people volunteer to be let go with severance. I’ve been at TMO (Lvl 7 in a headquarters role) for 10 years. There are very limited opportunities to change roles and even fewer opportunities for advancement. At this point... — read more
Who built T-Mobile?
Contrary to popular belief, the layoffs did not start with the Sprint Merger, Covid, or change in leadership from John Leger to Mike Sievert. Instead, the demise of T-Mobile and subsequent layoffs started with the exedous of one employee. That... — read more
TFB Destruction
Follow up from my post yesterday. Today my team was destroyed, as were many. Years of building, growth, and success right down the drain. Top performing reps sent to unemployment right before Christmas. Meanwhile, mo--ns and failures keep their... — read more
T-Mobile Layoffs coming
During a recent leadership call, T-Mobile’s new corporate team announced that major organizational changes would be implemented by mid-January. The message was delivered with an unusual emphasis on “emotional intelligence,” as leaders reminded... — read more
The main target
I keep hearing rumors that the cuts hit older workers the hardest, and I’m trying to figure out whether that’s actually happening or if it’s just what I saw in my own circle. If you know someone who was part of the layoffs, a rough age range would... — read more
How long is this round supposed to last?
Any clue at all? I know none of us are safe, and rolling layoffs will probably be the new normal, but it would be great to know when this particular nightmare ends, just so we can breathe for a moment.
The “2nd and 3rd” touch base
Looks like there are more calls. 12:30 and 1:00. Just labeled touch base and from Sr. Dir. Anyone else have any thoughts on what this might be? I’m thinking explanation of what’s going on followed by the new org structure?
STD and laid off
Been on std for 2 months got called on my personal phone and laid off. How is this possible?
December 18th consumer group??
I keep hearing December 18th as a date for consumer group. Directors have a PTO block after , probably to do damage control. Also expenses need approved by that date. Anyone hear anything more concrete?
Who else is getting hit?
What about us lowly folks? Any idea which teams are at risk? If you’ve heard anything, please share.
