One team together!
@c5 "John Leger‘s head has got to be exploding."
Are you forgetting that John lied to Congress about "jobs positive from day one"?
@dz so an Indian is Proud if an Indian origin is becoming a C-Level executive? How is that even work to feel proud?
@e1 does the Labor Law state to work or 13-14hrs and get a green card? Abide the laws or DO NOT stay here!
@dk so why are you working here still?
@e1 May be not most but many. I would say they should not hire h1's as employees period. Many companies do that. Also they should retrain employees for major tech refreshes, send them to trainings, conferences.
@dy Really? Most of the Indians I knew were spending 13-14 years trying to get their green card. And about 2 hours per week hounding HR about it.
@dj I believe they pay the same for H1b FTE's as US citizens and for contractors they pay same as any US citizen, ofcourse the H1b worker ultimately doesn't get paid that, that doesn't mean the company is paying less for that contractor to the midllemans.
@dt next ceo is a an indian deutcsh telecom board memeber
@d7 Most of the Indian FTEs are now US citizens, so they are impacted by this offshore moment as well.
@dj Is it really H1b workers or the offshore workers from what T-Mobile is setting up?
@d3 It’s a shame that they are owned by a German company.
@dg 1600 means there are 1600 US workers who could do the exact same job who aren't because T-Mobile would rather pay an H1B 75% of what a US tech worker costs.
So they've now completed the Sprintification of T-Mobile. Firing/laying off FTE's, outsourcing almost everything to contractors, moving all development offshore.
Just wait until the next security breach....as soon as they open these remote orifices.
@df there are only 1,600 h1b visa holders in Tmo US. It's public record.
too many Indians here. way too many especially in tech. Managers hiring too many Indians h1b contractors here. building the office in India with and have FTE is interesting considering this company is flooded with them. Indians are cheap labor in tech. Move to India and work there, and save the jobs here
Write the Governor and senators of Washington and Texas, and tweet the president asking why moving all this work to India is allowed when T-Mobile is an American service provider and has government contracts
@cy Its a shame on the US Telecom Provider to offload US Employees and hire somewhere where they could pay 60% less in a foreign place and still get work done. Its a SHAME! Fire all the Indian employees!!!
@cy I dont see my team has such thing, but still impacted!
If five day RTO happens, I'll take extra Splenda and tazo teabag from the break room and i womt even feel bad about it.
@cm IT VPs are all aware. They are all being required to visit the centers. Location in Hyderabad is open and hiring. They will all be TMO FTE. Bulk of software development will happen in India once the locations are fully staffed. Jeff’s view of IT is 60% development 40% support. Ask your VP or director about it. It’s common knowledge at this point.
@c5 Could you point to the source of "T-Mobile is opening two engineering centers in India" ?
@ab This isn’t misinformation. Today, five members of my team—including myself—were laid off, along with employees across many IT teams. This comes just a week after management announced that T-Mobile is opening two engineering centers in India, to be staffed with local full-time employees. Based on my research, FTEs in India with the same job title earn roughly 78% less than their U.S.-based counterparts. It was a sla-ghter today that came in the form of a 15 minute meeting with your director entitled “sync”. Nothing but class. John Leger‘s head has got to be exploding.
@aw When I got mine in 2023, the insurance lasted until like the end of the year.
@aw Read the severance package it tells you in there. Unless you have to have AI read it for you.
I was affected by today’s reorg as well. It’s interesting how teams are full of contractors, yet it's the full-time employees who are being cut.
Anyway, my main question is about health benefits: Do they continue through the severance period, or do they end immediately and I need to enroll in COBRA right away?
@ab you are lost! Believe me its real, i was cut today!
Yes I was hit too. Its happpening. I offer no proof. Its in the pudding.
@a2 I also got fired today by mo-o shalanfeh.
@a1 you now have the proof ya dopey ba----d.
@a8 I am so very sorry. Looking over my shoulder for the swinging pendulum...
This is the fake news! This is the verified. There is no the layoffs until is 2027
@a9 I hope you find a better position elsewhere.
@a1 im proof. I was part of this layoff haah
@OP i was one! After almost 20 years.. crazy. I guess they no longer need my history with the company.
@OP Looks like a lot of people in IT getting hit. I noticed that they are retiring a lot of our systems like C2, the hub, t-nation and magenta U and one more and moving it all into one website “magenta pulse” that manages all those applications instead. It’s kind of how they took digits and sync up apps and moved all of that into the T-Life app. There’s no longer two separate apps for those services, you manage them all in the T-Life app. So it makes sense that they’re downsizing. I wonder who they’re paying to launch the new magenta pulse web-based system, where we will go for all the services instead. Wondering If they hired an outsource team specifically for that, to then let go of the US based ones that managed the old systems.
