There are rumblings that Katz org will be hit bigger next week but trying to see what others have heard for sure - there were some light impacts already to consumer insights and media allegedly so it’s not as if his org is one big hit at once …what do you all know?

If the marketing team is working nights and weekends all of the time with little to no results to show for it, it sounds like the decision makers over there are impulsive and undisciplined.

@q2 The marketing team is a bunch of whiny, entitled, clueless, vain, id--ts that wouldn't generate a sale of a cemetary plot during a pandemic. They should all be terminated, every single one of them.

@nh correct. Someone earlier also bashed the team, we work bizarre hours, and many folks working this entire weekend, i know someone in marketing and they’re just miserable

@n2 you’d be surprise how many late nights and weekends people in marketing work because of ridiculous changes and spin from leaderships. Katz org does more work than half the other orgs in this company.

@kv correction: leadership in marketing would take that titles.. the people on the director and below rung are forced to do stupid things and bring good ideas to the table that get shunned in favor of … the Backstreet Boys? Like how is that even relevant?

The marketing team at T-Mobile is literally the biggest collection of du^&a$$e$ around. They have no clue what they are doing, only rely on vendors to come up with the ideas and do the work. The marketing team couldn't sell ice cold lemonade on a summer day in death valley.

@bd yes we will, but remember TMO is a branding machine we will stop spending millions on Superbowl when it stops being a net positive for the bottom line.... Personally the rosey view of our financials amdist cuts is more irksome than the marketing spending (we have a commodity product so our only advantage is our branding).

@ds interesting comment and not without merit. The last thing we need is a canned disgruntled marketing FTE sabotaging the SB campaign. And aligns with the later than normal results announcement on 2/11.
