Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

Bump

Sprint people are worthless. Only good for making carbon dioxide.

Let's prove which network was more reliable and customer focused... Yep Sprint

OP obviously doesn't know what he speaks of as Sprint had some excellent people.

Remember T-Mobile was "on the ropes" with massive layoffs for a good number of years before John Legere took over. T-Mobile came within a whisper in 2011 of AT&T buying them and gobbling them up permanently.

Get a clue, there is no more Sprint company, just legacy contracts and facilities that have yet to be shut down and sold off. One day they'll get smart and quit renting offices in Factoria.

If Sprint was a person, I'd pi-s in their a$$.

Thank you for the lies of keeping us, T-Mobile. Showing your true Magenta colors.

sorry but OP is correct. Legacy TMO are firing worthless sprinters at the first opportunity. Unfortunately it can take a year to complete a PIP to show the worthless mo-o' the doh' yo'

I would disagree with the comment “Sprint is Toxic” I have been with T-Mobile for 20 years now and our T-Mobile culture is beyond toxic and cancerous! Let me explain, T-Mobile has given the ability to all employees to simply fabricate lies , and cause massive amounts of H.R investigations in order to press their own agenda and stir away any issues they may be facing by creating new issues in house. We speak about values, but don’t follow them! Senior Leadership direction along with H.R is to simply avoid conflict and let’s try to de-escalate the issues to avoid a potential bigger problem, and as a result the employees who fabricate issues end up winning and all goes back to normal LMAO. We should all look in the mirror before saying other employees are toxic just because they came from another company!

T-Mobile sales teams coasted under Legere because all they had to do was farm angry Sprint customers. This lead to a "culture" that could never survive once they had to actually compete, and is why Legere and Marcelo both left, their charade was over.
After the merger there was no longer a Sprint to take customers from, so SMRA came into being so we could attack Verizon and US Cellular's stronghold in rural America. Once again there was easy farmable customers to steal, and now T-Mo is taking over Us Cellular.
Growth is still needed, oh we can re-use excess tower space to fight against home cable. Now that product is saturated. I think it was really telling when Cramer mentioned how being able to move HINT from place to place was a huge win, and good ole Mikey had to make sure to correct him. HINT was sold unethically, and against the rules, and it's a house of cards that is crashing, and the street is starting to wake up.
T-mobiles vaunted "culture" doesn't work when you have to actually fight on equal footing, all of the low hanging fruit is gone. That is why the stock is on the way back down.

The hyper-political survivors from Sprint (after years of its own death spiraling prior to the merger) often don't know what "good work" actually is, or even what it ought to look like. This includes awareness of what type of environment is even conducive to good work in the first place.

It becomes obvious after a while, because what they try to pantomime (i.e. "fake it till you make it" BS) isn't even particularly awe-inspiring. YES, THAT'S RIGHT- even the typical Office Space political BS itself is immensely half-assed.

Of course, it isn't all Sprint. "Get it done" types (the kind that hold everything together and keep the lights on) exist at Sprint, too. They're quite numerous.

But so is the degree of late-stage cancerous dead-weight, which is the problem.

Admittedly, it was all semi-horrifying at first. But now it's just funny. There's actually quite a bit of day-to-day entertainment value in all of this.

Just gotta look on the bright side.
