Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

First news I’ve seen of the layoffs

This was online this morning. It says layoffs to continue through March.

T-Mobile is undergoing significant layoffs across multiple departments, with recent cuts confirmed as of January 2026. Employees in sales, business units, call centers, and engineering have been affected, particularly supervisory staff—reports indicate 75% of supervisory roles are being eliminated. The Dedicated Experts team experienced a wave of layoffs from Monday to Friday, with leadership and hourly employees impacted.

These changes are part of a broader digital transformation strategy driven by new CEO Srini Gopalan. T-Mobile is aggressively pushing its T-Life app, which now has over 90 million downloads, and integrating AI-powered customer service via a partnership with OpenAI. As a result, roles tied to in-person or phone-based support are being reduced.

T-Mobile has not disclosed the exact number of layoffs but confirmed "some changes" while continuing to hire. The company is also restructuring retail operations, with rumors of new "Consumer Account Executives" in stores for small businesses and increased pressure on staff to use T-Life for upgrades and sales.

Layoffs are expected to continue through the end of Q1 2026, with no official hiring freeze confirmed despite earlier rumors. Employees in Washington state, including Bellevue, Bothell, and Snoqualmie, were impacted in a prior round affecting 121 workers starting October 2025.

For real-time updates, employees and the public are monitoring Reddit (r/tmobile) and TheLayoff.com

222 in my dept yesterday, including me! (Not sure if that # is the total for those under the director or VP). Over 20 years of giving them my all! I don't even know what to do with myself! It was so weird turning my alarms off last night! I enjoyed my first day of not worrying, though. I think my health may get better. I will miss the bonus and stocks, though.

@ar Most likely they'll give a number at the next shareholder meeting, if the layoffs are as large as they seem to be. This is relevant information and rises to the point of being material, but they're not going to announce it before the shareholder meetings if they dont have to. Maybe they'll issue a statement the first week of Feb when the WARN notice is updated, but most likely they'll wait for the shareholder call on the 11th.

@am For the ones done in August, employees were told on August 12 with an effective separation date of October 13. August 12 was a Tuesday and it didn’t appear on the warn site until August 15. They always get them all done and then it usually shows up on Warn at the end of the week.

In a different thread, @OP+1kf1mdysw reported ”10,000 getting cut” and he knows his ”ex-wife is part of this.”

Not a surprise that this has not hit the media. T Mobile has done this quietly. The extent of the layoffs is newsworthy, but the leadership cowards are not giving out layoff information. They are hiding behind statements like 'T-Mobile has not disclosed the exact number of layoffs but confirmed "some changes" while continuing to hire'. "Some changes"?? Big time liars.

@a1 you sound stressed. Take a breath and relax. No matter what happens life goes on and you will be ok. T-Mobile is not your identity. If you are concerned about your job , be proactive and start looking now. Don’t wait for the hammer to fall.

Advice

  • never ever click anonymous links, especially on a board where you don’t know who your dealing with. Anyone can post here, including “bad actors “
  • to validate this or anything you read, copy the text and paste it into any AI search engine (Chat GPT, Gemini, Groc, Perplexity, etc) with the prompt to “validate the accuracy of this post and provide sources “

Within seconds you will have everything you are looking for, you did it yourself and can do what you want with the information.

Don’t sit around waiting to be spoon fed, that’s a big problem with today’s world. People just want to be told and take everything at face value.

All of this is small stuff in the big picture, everything is going to be ok
