Are we still at war with each other? Every where I look it’s people saying “this never happened until the merger” or “sprint was/is better and we’re changing this company”

@1gb on what planet lol. Almost every Sprint employee that came over in TFB in the northeast has been let go because they performed poorly. Sprint had better systems we never adopted for some reason, but their employees where bottom feeders
@20h which departments were affected this time around?
@OP More layoffs yesterday and people being given the "choice" to move to Overland Park or lose their jobs. This place has become pretty toxic.
I hate what T-Mobile has become. It all started at the merger.
So much bureaucracy now. Horrible leadership (the yellow ones) that only know how to look at PowerPoints and not run their shop.
You are correct. The Sprint people are some of the d-mbest people I have ever worked with in my entire career.
@1x9
I agree that it is sad the leadership won’t take a paycuts for more employees to stay employed. I hated it when Sprint did it and I hate it when Tmobile does it now. T-Mobile is no longer an uncarrier, it is the same as the rest of the other companies.
@1vf This is absolutely true. Layoffs for a badly performing business like sprint is much more palatable for employees to accept. Reoccurring layoffs to boost stock and make leadership look good is terrible for morale.
Have any leadership members taken pay-cuts or bonus or stock reductions? This was the norm before implementing any layoffs not long ago.
Sadly, this is all too common in corporate America now more than ever.
As someone that was laid off in January, former Sprint and in HR, the problem is leadership. It’s not a sprint vs t-mo thing. I can tell you at sprint, while we had layoffs all the time…it didn’t feel like this. The culture is a thing of the past and they do not care about it. All that matters is shareholders and leadership. I love seeing all of the hate they are getting on LInkedin for their customer service. And the customer service failure is on leadership again, they won’t hold them accountable.
We’re all just employees. I don’t even remember who amongst us came from Legacy TMO or Legacy Sprint. I wouldn’t care if T-Mobile was renamed to U-Mobile after the US Cellular merger. It’s just a job that pays my bills.
@1gb hahaha.i pardon your ignorance
Sprint saved Magenta. Admit yellow employees are better
This is sprint 2. We are waiting for sprint 3 to emerge. Then it will take all the customers from this company. All the in Dia will loose jobs all over again. This is the sprint cycle my friends
18 years at Sprint, was outsourced to Ericsson via Sprint so let me put it this way... anything Sprint touches crumbles over a few years time. Nextel, XOHM, Clearwire just to name a few all burned down to the ground by Sprint. When I was working at T-mobile and heard that Sprint was looking to buy T-Mob that was it for me, I got out... got out of the business and went into medical because Sprint would have just burned t-mob down too! Fast forward a little bit and look how low Sprint went to where t-mob ended up buying Sprint instead! As long as anything Sprint exist within t-mob the company will fail in time, mark my words! Sprint is rotten to the core with its people and culture. Look out for the massive outsourcing too as it was Sprint that turned over it's entire engineering and operations to a 3rd party maintenance company - Ericsson! T-Mob best future is to embrace ridding Sprint for its body so to speak!
The merger was completed over 5 years ago. Get over it.
The Sprint individual contributors are great, the leadership not so much.
@cq Stop talking. You are proving the point in spades.
Yeah, the Sprint glaze by some is wild. They were making bad decision after bad decision. The only compliment I can give is they were better than Dish. Dish could fumble a football covered in super glue.
pretend you are in sprint. Lets say there was a company called sprint. Then there was a new company called sprint 2. Sprint 2 had america customer service. Spring 1 had in dia customer service. Therefore everybody left sprnt 1 for sprint 2. We are in the good game now. People leave when we have bad customer service. Even in the store nobody came inside sprint 1. We are always sprint here. kiss kiss mr and ms cutie
I don’t know anyone who says Sprint was/is better. They failed as a company for a reason
@OP I warmly welcomed sprint when the merger first happened. Hoping for better processes and seasoned leaders especially in HR. Boy was I wrong.
Yes there is Pink/Yellow civil war. The Yellow folks ran the company into the ground with id--tic ideas like
- Let's merge IS-41 and IDEN. Sort of like Merging a banana and a steak.
- Let's focus on WiMAX. They were the only ones who did...
- Let's buy backend gear from Motorola (IDEN) Hwawei, and Samsung. Gear that nobody else buys. And the manufacturers don't support well.
All these technology failures were brought to Sprint by John Saw. But they let go all the
smart Pink folks and replaced them with Saw's id--t brigade. Then operationally, all the failed rollout plans of Sprint came to the fo-e. But then Saw is considered some sort of brilliant by the execs. Unbelievable.
Saw's still just enabling the plan by Neville and Abdul from 5 years ago in the rollout of 5G, Home Internet, etc.
@OP y’all need some Jesus
@OP I mean things definitely got worse. The culture was much better or more palatable at least. Constant layoffs being the new norm destroys morale. This was largely the result of the merger.
