Maverick The AI Trojan Horse

A standardized platform across CSG first will help work out the bugs in Maverick. This will pave the way for the training of the AI replacement for financial and Logistics teams, and to some respects Support.
Any bugs will be at first blamed on the users so management will spend a month threatening those is sees as saboteurs. ISG will be next to see if it scales up to the needs of those products.
A year or so of training will give the AI enough info to become full-fledged replacement. I will be leaving the day my bonus hits my account. I have a new job lined up starting April 6.


Non layoff INFORMATION for those caring about info that may or may not correlate directly or indirectly to layoffs??!!&@$

Really too much more to list but will make another thread for, “Bottomless Word Salad via Leader Beanery.”


Congressional Hearing Big 5

Today Steve will announce he plans to return profits to Obama care in 2026. Flood your congressman with your thoughts as they should ask him where he obtained all that money. Makes sense why no one getting a descent raise, a bonus or why he decreased the 401 k match and the uptick in layoffs. He got to impress some congressman and throw them a bone.


First news I’ve seen of the layoffs

This was online this morning. It says layoffs to continue through March.

T-Mobile is undergoing significant layoffs across multiple departments, with recent cuts confirmed as of January 2026. Employees in sales, business units, call centers, and engineering have been affected, particularly supervisory staff—reports indicate 75% of supervisory roles are being eliminated. The Dedicated Experts team experienced a wave of layoffs from Monday to Friday, with leadership and hourly employees impacted.

These changes are part of a broader digital transformation strategy driven by new CEO Srini Gopalan. T-Mobile is aggressively pushing its T-Life app, which now has over 90 million downloads, and integrating AI-powered customer service via a partnership with OpenAI. As a result, roles tied to in-person or phone-based support are being reduced.

T-Mobile has not disclosed the exact number of layoffs but confirmed "some changes" while continuing to hire. The company is also restructuring retail operations, with rumors of new "Consumer Account Executives" in stores for small businesses and increased pressure on staff to use T-Life for upgrades and sales.

Layoffs are expected to continue through the end of Q1 2026, with no official hiring freeze confirmed despite earlier rumors. Employees in Washington state, including Bellevue, Bothell, and Snoqualmie, were impacted in a prior round affecting 121 workers starting October 2025.

For real-time updates, employees and the public are monitoring Reddit (r/tmobile) and TheLayoff.com


Strategy or Fatter Payoff for DC

Train wreck in every org coming. We struggle to manage operations with current staffing, and no way in he!! will HIH provide % of 1% support to keep lights on, nevermind manage strategy. All those on the 20 to 25% cut list, remember you followed their lead, they created the mess...I hope they bought stock in the mops they will need to clean up the slop on the floors.


Lost cause

Once was a time I was proud to work at VZ. In the matter of two short years It turned into a sh-tshow I blame my director for hiring supervisors without a clue in the world how the world works or how to turn a wrench. GET THESE GUYS OUT! p.s. I would bring my concerns up to my supervisor but the retaliation at this company is real. RIP VERIZON ON TO THE NEXT


The Real Housewives of FIS/Franklin Templeton Investments

In this week's episode, legacy FT staff are still applying for their old jobs at FT. Making it to an interview is impressive enough since no one knows what criteria is being used. If one actually does interview, it is with colleagues fresh off the FIS boat, well known to them. Awkward interview ensues. One is then treated to radio silence. It is essential to keep legacy FT staff on the phones at FIS to answer Retirement calls through the end of Peak Season. It would further appear that FT believes that putting interviewees in a holding pattern until the end without advising them of same is just fine. The bitter end is close enough for the remaining staff to be able to smell the severance. All the while FIS is furiously sending out emails pleading for volunteers for overtime. Imagine the fights Andy Cohen will have to navigate while filming the Reunion?


Laid off 9/2, Job offer 1/15

I was laid off 9/2 in MA. Developer, Database org, over 50 with 25+ years of service. The job search absolutely su-ked. Coding tests, ghosting, false promises, impossible interview questions; just brutal.

I finally did get an offer for about the same $$ as I was making at O.

The biggest obstacle was the lack of cloud based buzzwords on my cv e.g. snowflake, kubernetes, lambda, etc. Oracle development is composed of all proprietary cr-p of absolutely zero market value in the real world.

I am sharing this info as a data point for others who may be in the same situation in case someone finds it helpful to know the search is not easy but not hopeless either. I was close to giving up but glad I didn’t.


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 numbers. Usually people do things quietly and with lack of transparency when they are not doing the right thing.


Nemacolin confirms layoffs

Nemacolin confirmed Wednesday it has laid off an undisclosed number of employees.

A statement from the Fayette County resort said the workforce reduction followed changes in available room inventory that have impacted guest volume and operational demand.

What is being asked of leaders?

Can someone please share the directives coming down right now? Every leader seems even more in a scramble this week than the last 8 combined.
Yes it’s clear layoffs happened this week, but it’s something more. I had vaguely overheard, I was trying not to be obvious, about a directive that was given from HR about a RTO mandate. As in some directive about a larger mandate to ensure employees are in hubs and not remote. What is going on? All of us see and sense something.


They don’t have enough people to make the calls!

To notify all impacted employees they have been rifed on Friday. Some leaders are being asked to do it for employees who don’t even report to them. Truly bonkers situation that shows:
1) rif number going to be huge
2) hr is useless if they can’t help out in such a scenario
3) they might as well do one large teams meeting and notify everyone in there they have Been rif


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?

Blue Cross of Idaho announces layoffs for 90 employees amid organizational changes

Blue Cross of Idaho has implemented organizational changes aimed at improving efficiency and reducing costs for its customers.

The company, which has been committed to Idaho for over 80 years, stated that these changes will help it focus on serving nearly 600,000 members and continue transforming the healthcare experience in the communities it serves.

Blue Cross confirms that fewer than 90 employees were affected by the changes.

The Blue Cross previously announced layoffs effecting approximately 135 employees during April of 2025, following the early termination of a decade-long dual eligible contract with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) in June 2025.

The company said it has built a dedicated team over the past ten years to serve the dual population, providing personalized care coordination for Idahoans with complex and costly medical needs. The loss of the contract led to the closure of that exclusive operating unit.

01/28 next RIF

My manager told me today that I need to let someone on my team go as part of a cost-cutting effort, and that I’m expected to notify them next Wednesday. I don’t agree with this decision. My team is already working excessive hours dealing with production issues we can’t keep up with, and the expectation is that my other team will just have to absorb the additional workload. According to my manager, the directive is to cut one person from each team.
