Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

On many failed - or about to fail - IT projects. Executives just wasting peoples’ time and money.

18 months? Where you been for the past few years? This caos has been going on longer than 18 months.

@pw I curse his snowbunnied existence everytime I open JIRA.

@pt
While I'm more familiar with Paul L (I'm referring to him as LISTERIA) than Ronke, to me the ultimate failure was not growing the actual teams under him with experience and know how, but instead with outsourcing to Accenture and Atacamma (garbage software BTW), and that's almost 100% on LISTERIA because he had no clue on what he was doing and pushed away those that could achieve. I honestly hope he wakes up and doesn't find his job anymore.

@pr Sounds like another ill-informed IT minion playing yet more ineffective political games while producing nothing but more overhead. BK tried to fix IT, but when he retired, they went back to playing the same games they have ever since the days of Kaiser.

@pt Don't forget Marcus East and the outsourcing he did to his buddies. They keep doing the same thing.

@pf @pf I’m not a fan of Infosys, but I don’t believe they are responsible for the situation we’re in. The larger accountability sits with IDS leadership — specifically Ronke and Paul — whose decisions created instability and execution gaps across the organization.

During the Nebula migration, T-Mobile spent significant money with CTS and the project did not deliver. Infosys stepped in later and successfully delivered the migration at a much lower cost.

We also need transparency around vendor strategy. Travis B’s close alignment with Avanade resulted in substantial spend without clear measurable outcomes. Similarly, Ellen’s strong support of EY raises questions about how vendor decisions are being evaluated.

This isn’t personal. It’s about governance, accountability, and responsible stewardship of company funds.

Hey d ip s hi t... it is Enricson and another company that does the network
The tech doesn't do the network for phones at all. It is what Cody siad...just put the sim card in the phone. Wake up..jack jack... the I d I. An

Who's ever heard of Data Marketplace?
That is by far the biggest waste of resources in the history of TMO ran by InfoSys.

Network engineers should be grateful for all of the hard work IT has done to make the network usable. T-Life is the reason this company is successful.

@j7 @j7 Telecom went into the toilet the day the IT people took over. Just because Blackberrys carried data didn't suddenly mean that IT were telecom engineers. Since that day telecom went from methodically building a stable, reliable network for the long term to an endless, frantic and volatile rip-and-replace operation.

When Cody was around he said it all. We only put the sim. Chip in the phone... Thre telcom company does nothimg for gaining customers...cody was smarter than sivert... or was he at all....

IT should just give up attempting to go through the motions and let Engineering's working systems carry the load.

There is no ai people. It is only Google printing some slow text. Stop feeding the in Dia ans. It is not possible to employ all that..

@cy Wipe that brown stain from Katz's backside from your upper lip.

This is not true. We're a Deeply Data-Informed, AI-Enabled, Digital-First company.

I felt the same way before getting laid off from this group. I had no idea of what the he-l the end game was. It's a literal money black hole or laundering scam.
