4Q24 Report
As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 70,000 full-time and part-time employees, including network, retail, administrative and customer support functions.
4Q25 Report
As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 75,000 full-time and part-time employees, including network, retail, administrative and customer support functions.

So an increase of 5K employees YOY, even though they spent $390 million in 4Q25 to "...streamline operations by centralizing leaders and teams, reducing organizational layers, and eliminating duplicative roles..." and plan on "...remaining costs of approximately $150 million expected to be substantially incurred by the end of the first quarter of 2026. "

So I guess we have to wait until 4Q2026 report to understand how many employees are affected by a net cost $540 Million?

@bv, good observation. I would also add the new H-1B hires (excluding the continuation LCA’s). Finally, more importantly, although T-Mobile may be conducting layoffs, or having a “hiring freeze” in effect, they may be hiring for specific, high priority roles.

@ea
I could win the lottery with those odds.

Why are you trying to figure out corporate math? Even if you were able to match the of the kaleidoscope of what would it matter? You would all have a better chance of picking up sticks with your cheeks than solving any of this.

US Cellular employees were added in. A couple other small companies too I believe. I also think they have started rolling Metro and all the other sub-divisions under one organization headcount.

@aj Most of frontline telephone care isn't in the US anymore. They're part of a outsourced contract (I highly doubt they're NTW).

Most of the cuts were done in January 2026 so we will not know the real numbers until February 2027.possibly the next 10-Q.

@OP Obviously you dont get numbers. The total number of employees is greater, not how they are distributed in the company. Fewer back office employees obviously, more customer contacting employees.

They want to get back to pre merger headcount. Have a hard time believing they added 5k new jobs, even after layoffs and attrition.
