We're already handling too much work, and now we're to lose more people next week? Are you kidding me? What's wrong with people running this place? Can we get them to do our jobs just for a week, just so they can see how bad things already are? We can't afford for it to get even worse.

As our fearless leader said, do less with less. Focus on the things that matter most.
@ds at the rate it's going, it will hit $150 first
You think the C-Suite cares if you have more work on your plate? They're beholden to the share price and making it rise, and cutting jobs helps that. Remember that most of their compensation is stock dependent, so get to work, buckaroo! We've got to hit $300 a share!
You're spot on - and it's honestly a late stage company issue. The guy/gal that built it, the next person who inherits it, and the last one to entomb it.
As employee % of ownership dwindles - Shareholders outside of employees can choose somebody who will maximize their returns vs. maximize corporate employee governance. Hence why Huawei is a co-op. They studied the best structures. The best was a co-op.
Lets be honest. We don’t anyone in retail stores. They never have inventory and direct you to T-Life, which is the new way of gaining and managing customer accounts. We don’t need the massive influx of more worthless people like those that came over from Sprint; i.e.: US Cellular. Both sets of people were overpaid at their prior companies and kept their high wages when they slid in at T-Mobile, only to cause the company to reduce the workforce because of high OPEX costs. So, here we are again, and the REAL contributors will be adversely affected, while the slugs will continue to benefit. Nothing has changed, and this will continue to happen
cant you cognate well enough to see that what you are doing the company doesnt want done ?
@a5+1keczacr9 - I wouldn't say it's a "Sprint mentality". It's a late-stage CAPITALIST mentality. Any new executive is paid very well to join a company to maximize profit and shareholder value (like you said). If a company can't make more revenue, the company will cut costs (including layoffs) to add shareholder value. If the workload cannot be reduced, then you can hire employees in India to replace expensive American employees. Executives absolutely do not care about long-term effects on the American economy or employees. After the exec accomplishes maximizing shareholder value (through cuts), they jump ship on their golden parachutes.
What's happening at Toxic-Mobile is what Cory Doctorow wrote of in "The Enshittification Life Cycle".

They don't gaf... They only care about shareholder value. Heard it's a sprint mentality and we all know how that ended.
The happiest people seem like the ones who have found something outside the company.
You can't change the company but you can change whether you work for a better company
It’s all on purpose. The more overloaded we become, quality decreases and dates get missed. More reason to dump American employees and ramp up cheap India labor and automate more with AI.
