This is the coldest layoff I've ever seen
Trust me, I was with Nortel during the 10 long hellish years between 2000-2010 when they averaged laying off 100 people per month. This layoff was colder than anything I've ever witnessed, and this, coming from a company who frames themselves as... — read more

Nationwide Field and Switch Operations
Field and Switch operations will be hit this week; Thursday and Friday. They will be facing at least 25% cuts across the board. TMO will continue to phase out these positions with the addition of contractors and overseas workers.
Super Bummed I was not laid off
I've asked at least a half dozen times this year to be laid off if there was lay offs and I got passed over again. The reason I didn't just leave is I would receive over $100K in a layoff package (incentive to stick it out through the... — read more
T-Mobile : Software Engineer of 6 years laid off today
I was just laid off and the director did not give any reasons why. The whole meeting lasted for 8 minutes and he was explicit in telling me that this had nothing to do with performance. If you’re an engineer, now is the best time to start making... — read more
The criteria for layoffs
I hear that some excellent employees have lost their jobs, who have subordinated their private lives to this company. Shame! Cutting the best people will inevitably have a negative impact on customers, but ultimately on the company as well. I still... — read more
Why do we always have layoffs in August?
Why not March? Or Feb? Honestly, they (sr execs) can be a bit more original. This is sad and sick, people are anxious and they do it every year. It's OK for them, go buy that extra Aston Martin and another lake house. Disgusting!

Sprint & Metro + Grant's QA
Ops mid level managers got cut left and right . Many impacted from Sprint and even Metro. ICs are let go today. Grant’s QA is also impacted today.
Any specifics as to work groups let go?
Looking for info for family members who may have been affected by today's mass layoff. Any specific groups entirely laid off? Are they focusing on Former Sprint staff or is it across the board?
T-Mobile is making the cuts we were all expecting after Sprint merger
Yep, we are all ICs and 1st level managers cut from ATS. Mostly former Sprint folks are gone!
Massive cuts today! Were you hit?
I’m seeing a lot of coworkers saying they were cut today. It’s horrible and sad! My boss is 14 years is packing up his stuff crying, why do the good ones get let go? Were you hit?
Where is the press on this?
With all the cuts nationwide why aren't we seeing more press coverage on this? I know T-Mo is doing this strategically to avoid WARN notifications, but this is still far more than just a few redundancies here.
Any other orgs planned for future cut?
I see TSDO and ATS got affected. Any plans for other orgs getting major cut?
How does Tuesday look on layoffs?
Should we be worried about more unexpected cuts?
Any tips on what to do and expect as someone who is laid off? Severance, etc.
Any tips on what to do and how to prepare and make sure that we get the benefits and guarantees as promised? Anything that we should NOT do? Any input is welcome, thanks!
Notifications
How are folks being notified if they're being let go? Asking for a friend 🙄
Laid off today, TSDO
Cuts happening in TSDO right now. Seeming no method or reason to who is being let go.
Cut...
I got the axe on 08/25/2022. How much do you think data breach settlement have to do with this. Either way, I got it as well as my immediate manager from ETS. Looks like if you worked from home that was really frowned upon. The requirements for... — read more
Is Monday the 29th the day?

T-Mobile has always been one of the most corporate and toxic companies
I find it comical that anyone thinks this company was ever "uncarrier". "Uncarrier" is and always has been just a marketing plot. T-Mobile has always been one of the most corporate and toxic companies out there. Sprint wasn't much difference. I can... — read more
Pay cut
I hear that some were offered significant pay cuts, huge annual decreases. Has anyone accepted a pay cut? I doubt that many people accepted to continue working under such conditions. I would never accept that, unless I was in a desperate situation... — read more

Meanwhile they are trying to get rid off more people without packages
I guess I'm not the only one who is suddenly overwhelmed with so much work and such unrealistic expectations. My only conclusion is that they are trying to get rid me without a package? Neither can I meet those expectations, nor do I want to leave... — read more
