Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

Big Cuts Coming August

Surgical layoffs coming in August after secret post-op analysis is completed of current AI and offshoring initiative. Not mass cuts but not small either. Please make sure you have 6 months of pay (gross) in a savings or money market account for your emergency fund. You have been 'WARN'ed.

@10p Correct. T-Mobile has been doing this for years including when they laid off multiple T-Mobile workers to make room for metro before going public. Layoffs are nothing new here. They used to circumvent WARN all the time. As long as they stay under a certain limit for each batch it doesn’t need to be made public.

@t9 TMO has been using the loopholes to avoid WARN reporting laws. This is basically done by providing 60 day+ of "garden leave" meaning you are "laid-off" but still on the payroll for 60+ days after the day your are laid-off. It's an as s-hat way to get around WARN reporting but 100% legal.

Post your source! There has been no WARN posted. I get all of them and nothing has shown for T-Mobile America's Best Network.

@ex T-Mobile does NOT use DS0’s and copper wires; landline “boomers” have to go!

How do you think the signal gets from the radio tower to the central office? Carrier Pigeon? There may not be copper/coax anymore from the tower to the switch, but there is fiber which still requires care and feeding. And is responsible for the high speeds on TMUS network. TMUS was replacing coax with fiber close to ten years ago with 3rd party suppliers when 4G went into place and getting data speeds that VZ, ATT and PCS could only imagine.

@ca you can always volunteer to leave. You can request a VSP with your leadership. It can potentially help save someone else's job.

The layoffs will continue until AI improves, then we’ll lay off some more.

@aw Read the severance package document. It's in there. Basically you accept their terms, & you get the money. Do anything prohibited by the terms (like sue for wrongful termination) and they'll come after you for the severance.

Thanks for the warning! Anyone know if you have to accept the severance package to get the pay out? If you do accept, can you still sue for wrongful termination if they backfill your position? Appreciate any advice.
