Per the 10K report from 12/31/2024, there is the statement of:
As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 70,000 full-time and part-time employees, including network, retail, administrative and customer support functions.
So they went from 67000 at the end of 2023 to 70,000 in 2024? Hmm...
You all need to get yourself a new job and move on. Quit crying about losing your job.
NOBODY CARES!!!
T-Mobile also took on employees with any acquisitions i.e. US Cellular etc...eventually it'll level back down again.
Y'all forget that its an evolving company where technologies and entire business lines are regularly being replaced. That means if you are only working on legacy stuff , when it goes, you go.
Hopefully, the numbers will make sense when you read the T-Mobile 2024 10-K AND the Deutsche Telekom 2024 Interim Quarterly reports. Employee Headcount/Human Capital is mandated, public information. T-Mobile reports full and part time employees, annually. Deutsche Telekom reports full-time employee ”equivalents” quarterly, with an explanation for the change. DT will report 2024 Q4 numbers on February 26, 2025.
“As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 70,000 full-time and part-time employees, including network, retail, administrative and customer support functions.”[1]
“The total number of full-time equivalent employees in the United States operating segment increased by 2.2 % compared with the end of 2023, primarily due to an increase in retail employees to support T‑Mobile US’ growing customer base.”[2]
“The total number of full-time equivalent employees in the United States operating segment increased by 3.5 % compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in retail employees to support T Mobile US’ growing customer base, and the Ka’ena Acquisition in the second quarter of 2024.”[3]
“The total number of full-time equivalent employees in the United States operating segment increased by 4.8 % compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in retail employees to support T‑Mobile US’ growing customer base, and the Ka’ena Acquisition in the second quarter of 2024.”[4]

It all makes sense if you use corporate math.....LOL
When I was laid off, the REQ numbers were 51k less than whats currently listed. Assume most of those are CEC high turnover related, but still that's a damn hefty chunk of job reqs that have been posted. It's all smoke and mirrors to investors so Mikey can short the stock.
And I'll assume engineering down a lot as they continue to outsource engineers.
Consumer Group down. Marketing flat. Business Group way up — hires those who can’t make it in Consumer.
Now add the employees from the companies they acquired…
