Do we really need to continue spending money on CEC? Outsourcing will save a lot. No person is gonna be a customer just because we have a US based call center. Nobody thinks of it before moving to TMO.
2023 foreshadowing?
I read (can’t confirm) in looking at some Sept. 2023 threads, that Day 1 was some Dirs/mgrs, Day 2 was ICs, and Day 3 was a mix of those in different orgs (namely MIX) so wondering if Thursday, MIX will have impacts…
“Read the room”
…something i wanted to say about 50 times today in meetings ads happened and assigning more work on projects that don’t even matter and likely are to be put on hold but can’t because no leaders are actually saying anything about the flattened... — read more
Another enormous layoff wave coming in the next month.
It's not looking good. I feel so bad.
Too many damn threads
Scroll a lil. Someone might have posted the thing you were just about to.
Step by step…
I’m thinking like a 3 year process here… starting from yesterday… 1 - RIF+Restructure Care Leadership 2 - Scale voice AI 3 - Remove “centers of excellence” (every rep is trained on everything; true “gen” care again) 4 - Scale voice AI higher 5 - RIF... — read more
I have yet to see these layoffs make sense
Some teams have been literally butchered, but kept in place. I lost three people you could always rely on. What's the deal? Destroy institutional knowledge? Make sure to get rid of the most valuable and competent people? Save thousands to lose... — read more
Why is T-Mobile not releasing layoff numbers?
T-Mobile has refused to release the exact number or even a ballpark number of positions eliminated. One has to wonder why? What is the leadership hiding? Srini Gopalan and Deeanne King must be cowards if they dont have the guts to share the layoff... — read more
This round is less than 5k
Feels definitely less than last round of 5k in 2023.
Still nothing in the news?!
Where is the media on this?
Virtual Retail
Lot of massive cuts across the whole call centers on west and in the east coast. Managers and coaches being let go in VR. Are the Virtual Retail Reps next? Should I be worried?
Gates up or down?
Are the gates at the FSC up or down today?
Anyone from FOPS yet?
Aside from managers, any FOPS techs get hit yet?
Layoff Count?
Wondering how many folks have lost their jobs. OPKS HQ hit pretty hard.
Just got word! Friday for retail!
Just heard through the grapevine, Friday retail will be hit! Can anyone confirm? May God Bless anyone and everyone affected!
Has anyone contacted a Lawyer?
There’s a clause in the severance that states “you can not work for any competitor with in 12 months of accepting”. This seems highly unfair after a whole career in wireless. What an I supposed to do? Finds a completely different field and forget my... — read more
Let T-Life be its own demise!
From now on, any customer that walks into a store should be told to do everything on T-Life the way it’s supposed to be. Give them ZERO help on figuring anything they need out until they get the same frustration as us and just walk out. T-Life is for... — read more
Today is the day for me…
I thought yesterday was it but I think today is ICs turn. Have a 10 min call with my director titled “org changes”.
WA state layoffs
Salary workers…. Did you get your post increase in January 1st? WA state minimum wage went up meaning the minimum a salary worker can make in WA state as of Jan 1 2026 raised to $80,168.40 annually. It’s weird the focus was on layoffs and we didn’t... — read more
Everybody but your dog you can all eff off (Deutsche Telekom/ Srini Gopalan)
Welcome to corporate America. They call it ‘restructuring’ when profits are protected and people are discarded.
Nothing makes sense anymore
The strategy, who they chose to lay off, demotions...unless the goal is to ki-l morale and destroy the company. Then, things make perfect sense.
Customers will suffer when they call and Reps will become more stressed out.
So they basically got rid of a support layer because tmobile is fu--ing stupid. We didnt have enough support to begin with and the support we did have was also fu--ing stupid cause they dont read half the sh-t you put in the chat. Now we have the... — read more
When is It Jeff’s turn
When will Jeff Simon’s team have layoffs? If he’s not doing any in January and garden leave ends on April 2, doesn’t that mean they need to be done on just Feb 1 or Feb 2?
Regional and Area done Today
Today is a really sad day. Losing such talented and hardworking colleagues hurts deeply. You all made a real impact and this doesn’t define your worth. Wishing you strength and success as you begin the next chapter of your life
Relying on cx adoption of t-life AI Bu******
The next time I walk a customer through a Docusign I will ask if they have the T-Mobile app if not I’ll remind them that we are all getting canned so they better start figuring sh-t out.
The “un-carrier” is dead.
The "Un-carrier" is dead. You have successfully metamorphosed into the exact corporate utility you built a brand on mocking. Your recent pivot isn't innovation; it’s a liquidation of your own values. Ladies and gentlemen. Let’s look at the... — read more
RF - Area Structure
Did any Regional Director share how the structure gonna be moving forward? We got no info today
On a T-Mobile Tuesday?!
Guess they gotta pay for the celebs in the commercials somehow.. sorry guys, this su-ks. Company has gone downhill ever since legere left.
Site Closures?
I heard Kingsburg and Salem were being impacted. Can anyone confirm site closures?
They didn't have a choice
Look, micro moving to consumer put a majority of the revenue in a place that was and is to be driven through automation. TMUS Global Services will then drive costs of operations and IT to 50% of its current cost structure (see MTUS India... — read more
Srini Gopalan will sink T-Mobile
He is showing his inexperience as a rookie CEO. If he thinks that he can grow this company by doing the large layoff he did today, he is just a fool.
In the news!

Multiple coaches and managers let go
Already lost 1 confirmed manager and many coaches walked out by security. At least 15+ Care Coaches let go. Security coming up to individual, tapping shoulder & off they go. In front of all the other coworkers. Cutthroat practice. Tough to see people... — read more
OH! Cruel Fate!
I’m still here
People receiving invites for tomorrow
I thought this would be done today?
Are affected teams done?
We already lost a few people on my team a few hours ago and it's been quiet since. Should I take that as a good sign for the rest of us?
Please post the age of laid off folks
Let's see once again who their main target is.
That's it for me
It wasn’t all bad, and I won’t pretend it was. The early days had their moments, but those have been few and far between for a long time now, which makes this easier to accept than I ever thought it would be. I wish the job market was stronger, but... — read more
TMO HQ ICs impacted
Seen the posts about call centers and managers. But confirming here that senior ICs from Engineering are getting the emails too. Good luck out there.
Is it the same severance?
Nothing has been reduced, right?
