Topics regarding layoffs at T-Mobile

Lesson Learned

Layoffs have been a constant in Telecom since 2000. We thought the Uncarrier would keep their word and retrain people so they could keep the talent. We started to get comfortable. We let our guard down. They definitely don't see employees as... — read more

Dish???

Dish is hiring. Heck half of the Ericsson employees that engineered and maintained Sprints network ended up with Dish. Allot smaller company with no one preaching political policies. You get hired because of your knowledge and abilities.

What is the end game!?!

Is this just so they can do stock buybacks? Keeping contractors and dumping employees is not an uncarrier move. Laying off Magenta FT and switch techs during a build seems odd. The timing just doesn't make sense. Another quarter or two and most... — read more

Just the beginning

Bellevue wants more control. Watch for the vendors like Nokia and Ericsson to take over maintenance, monitoring and deployment of their equipment in the network. Regions will basically be eliminated. Everything will be planned and controlled from... — read more

Sprint Network Still Has Traffic

I wonder if the leadership team realizes the Sprint Network still has traffic. Field techs were trying to learn and keep the Sprint sites up and running after the Ericsson contract ended in July. Then employee Field Techs get laid off this week!?! ... — read more

We all lost

Even those who survived the latest culling are not the winners in this situation. Yes, we still have a job but at what price? Most of us have lost people from our teams, which means that our workload is about to increase significantly. I was already... — read more

Over 40 and terminated at T-Mobile?

All employees over the age of 40 are a protected class under the Age Discrimination Act. If you feel like you were terminated because of your age, sue the f*ck out of the company! 10 years wages at least. There are plenty of good attorneys out there... — read more

Is this true or just more of the company bull?

“Our priority is to ensure employees impacted during this transition are supported. Many of them will be offered different positions.” How many people were offered other positions within the company? Do you know of any? This seems more like damage... — read more 

Almost Over

I work for T-Mobile and it has been a shot show since Lehrer left. It wasn’t just FOPS, it was management, upper management with gosh only knows what is to come. I and most likely all of my co-workers are here to notify when something goes down or... — read more

Age discrimination

The majority of laid-off employees are in their fifties. Yes, some younger employees were cut as well but from what I can see, older ones have been affected disproportionately. Is there any way to address this, considering that age discrimination is... — read more

NTAC and Noc Transport

They released everyone who was part of the legacy sprint transport team. I’m hearing the Atlanta office was wiped off the map. Definitely the most cold hearted cut I have witnessed. Meanwhile leadership is all about Space-X and the lack of... — read more

If you are still looking for jobs: stay strong

Stay Strong. I have been there. Felt like giving up on everything. I must've interviewed at 10+ companies in a span of 3 months. No interviews for the next month due to holiday season. I used to choke up when recruiters/HMs asked me why I wanted... — read more

Care/Tech?

Any news about cuts to TEX? All these other layoffs have grunts on the phone feeling nervous. They wrecked the community model and canned loads of coaches and TMs. We keep wondering how long we have.

Came in today to notice that me and 8 other people on my team were being let go due to "organization shifts".. What now? I saw someone recommending to re-apply for my job? Should I just take the cr---y severance package and not fight it? I never... — read more 

This is going to be a rotten place to work now.

Just a horiible place to work. Telecommuters will be tripping over one another trying to return to the office. Employees will be looking over their shoulders at all times. Not looking forward to this.

Common Cause

The only common cause identified in this Thanos finger snap round of layoffs is proximity to management. If you weren’t seeing your direct manager in an office setting, you were affected. It seems that TMO and MS not only want you in an office, but... — read more 

They don't care about employees OR customers

The more employees T-Mobile outsources, the worse customer service becomes. Just go and read the usual customer sites and see what's the most common complaint and what's costing us the most subscribers. The ELT doesn't give a damn, though. As long as... — read more

MS is a weasel

He was totally dismissive about a layoff question at the town hall a few days ago knowing full well what was to go down this week. What a horrible human being. Sociopath narcissist 100%

After the dust settles......

All TMUS employees will be walking on eggshells, wondering if they will be next. That is a very toxic environment to work in.

For once, they laid off people who deserved it

I know this is probably not the case company-wide, but it is for us. Two people were cut from my team so far, and I'll be honest with you, they needed to go. The rest of us were pulling more than our fair share of work to make up for their laziness... — read more
