Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

You people sure do a lot of crying when you have seen the writing on the wall for the past four years. How do you still complain about the work environment and still work there? My belief is, if you still work there, you must be the bottom of the barrel talent that no one else will hire.

Lets say it like 10 ways so you understand fully. la fin, Owari, el fin, das Ende, het einde, o fim, krayat, to telos, la fine, slutet. No shifting... no st..up...id......s...h...i.....t. You entiendo?? We will not go over this anymore.

I get what you’re saying. Some industries, like healthcare, are definitely moving toward their own setups and relying less on public cloud. But that doesn’t mean telco is dead. It's just shifting gears.

There’s actually a lot of growth happening in Advanced Network Services (ANS) and private 5G networks. Businesses in manufacturing, logistics, and even healthcare still need super-reliable, low-latency connections for things like IoT, real-time data, and secure communication across sites.

Yeah, public cloud growth might be slowing, but hybrid setups (mixing cloud, edge, and on-prem solutions) are becoming the new normal. Telcos are right in the middle of that shift, offering the infrastructure and managed services businesses need to stay connected.

It’s not the end of telecom; it’s just moving in a new direction most people aren’t seeing yet.

It is the end. IT had no impact on any sales what so ever. The other industries don't use any product of the telco at all. I work for the healthcare side now and we have our own setup to work with internet. In fact all the revenue for cloud at microsoft, google, and amazon is in decline. they did huge layoffs recently too. We have data centers again and don't use cloud much anymore. It is the end, no doubt about that.

@sc+1jmgsjk2c

I get your point. Yeah, traditional wireless telecom on the consumer side isn’t the growth machine it used to be. People are holding onto their phones longer, and telcos are feeling the squeeze with rising costs and debt.

But calling it the "end" feels off. It’s more like an evolution.

The real action now is in business services, especially with the rise of edge computing, IoT, and cloud integration. Companies need faster, more reliable connections with lower latency, and telecoms are stepping up to fill that gap.

While consumer growth might be slow, industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics are driving demand for next-gen networks. The game is shifting from just selling phone plans to powering the tech that keeps businesses connected and competitive.

It’s not the end of telecom; t’s just changing lanes.

this is the end of telco in slow motion. looks like all the telcos going into high long term debt. can't pay to maintain the towers and keep up with the electric bill. Barrowing like crazy is going to stop. The customer base will not increase hardly. Also people don't buy phones execpt after many years. The slow motion thing is sell offs, layoffs, sell offs, layoffs... future was yesterday

Oh, bless your heart. Let’s address this masterpiece of misplaced confidence point by point, shall we?

1. “Horrifically Informed"

You say I’m “horrifically informed,” yet you’re the one dismissing decades of scientific research and pretending vaccines are some untested, rogue experiment. Meanwhile, I’m over here citing actual science, not Facebook memes. But sure, let’s pretend your cherry-picked studies outweigh the consensus of experts. Totally convincing.

2. "The I.Y.I. 'Insult'"

Ah, yes, the “intellectual-yet-id--t” label. How original. Meanwhile, you’re out here acting like not taking life-saving measures against disease is some kind of galaxy-brain move. Spoiler: It’s not. It’s just reckless. But hey, if feeling superior helps you sleep at night, go for it.

3. “No Vaccine, No Side Effects”

True, the unvaccinated don’t have to worry about rare side effects. They just have to worry about actual disease, which has ki-led millions and left countless others with long-term health issues. But we can pretend natural infection is somehow safer than a vaccine designed to minimize risk. Brilliant logic.

4. “Smarter Than You - Deal With It”**

Ah, the ultimate flex: “I didn’t get vaccinated, so I’m smarter than you.” Never mind that the unvaccinated are impacted at higher rates, overwhelming hospitals, and prolonging outbreaks. As long as you feel superior, right? Priorities.

5. “All-Knowing Sage Act”

It’s not an act. It’s called trusting science, data, and experts. I get it’s a lot harder than clinging to conspiracy theories and pretending you’ve outsmarted the entire medical establishment.

So, by all means, keep patting yourself on the back for “being smarter.”

@nf+1jmgsjk2c
You write well and are well educated, but you are horrifically informed.
You typify, to a T, the I.Y.I. phenomenon that Nassim Taleb described.
The people who never took the mRNA never need worry about PVS.
They were, and still are, smarter than you- deal with it.
Your all-knowing sage act, and it is an act, has run its course.

@my+1jmgsjk2c

Ah, yes, the classic “mandates are evil, and Big Tech is silencing us” narrative. Once again, let’s break this down, shall we?

1. TMO and the Mandates
   Companies set policies to protect their business, workforce and customers. If TMO (or any company) let go of employees who refused to comply with a vaccine mandate, that’s their prerogative. Private companies have the right to set health and safety standards just like they can require you to wear pants to work. But sure, let’s pretend this is some grand injustice instead of basic risk management.

2. Layoffs After Mandates
   Layoffs happen for a million reasons: market conditions, restructuring, cost-cutting. Blaming it on the vaccine mandate is like blaming your flat tire on the moon. Correlation ≠ causation. If it helps you sleep at night, go for it.

3. “Yale U is Revealing a Catastrophe”
   Here we go again. The Yale study you’re referencing is about rare cases of post-vaccination syndrome (PVS). It’s not proof of some grand conspiracy. It’s science doing its job: investigating, understanding, and addressing anomalies. But sure, let’s pretend this is the smoking g-n that justifies your anti-vax crusade.

4. “Ad Revenue is All They Care About”
   Oh, the irony. You’re posting on a platform that relies on ad revenue, yet you’re mad when they enforce rules to keep that platform running. If you want unfiltered truth, start your own site. But don’t be shocked when it turns out running a business is harder than it looks.

5. “Truth is Like Voldemort”
   The truth isn’t being silenced—it’s being drowned out by misinformation, half-truths, and conspiracy theories. If you want to talk about truth, let’s start with the fact that vaccines have saved millions of lives. But I get it, that doesn’t fit the narrative, so it’s easier to cry censorship.

So, by all means, keep pretending you’re the victim of some grand conspiracy.

@j7+1jmgsjk2c
TMO got rid of people due to their mandate. That's inappropriate on a layoff site? Of course it isn't.
And then TMO laid off people a few months after they forced them to take the vaccines.
The problem is that what's taken place, and continues to take place, as Yale U is revealing, is a catastrophe.
Whoever runs this site can delete whatever they want, and they do it all of the time. But they should just be honest and declare that ad revenue is all that they care about. Truth is way down the list of priorities here. The truth is like Voldemort, it can't be said.

Not one single reply, before or now, are about layoffs. That’s why they are deleted.

Y’all think this is your personal f-kkin soapbox on a street corner. Thelayoff.com doesn’t owe you sh-t, nor does anyone else. You are not victims.

@hb+1jmgsjk2c

But hey, don’t worry. The mods are just protecting you from "dangerous ideas". Because nothing says “healthy discourse” like silencing dissent, right?

Here’s the thing: If the truth is so solid, why are they so afraid of people talking about it? Why delete entire threads instead of engaging with the facts? Could it be that the truth doesn’t need censorship to survive but lies do?

The dam is breaking. People are waking up. And no amount of deletions, bans, or gaslighting will stop that.

So, to the mods: Keep deleting. Keep silencing. Keep proving that you’re more afraid of the conversation than the truth.

And to everyone else: Stay curious. Stay skeptical. And most importantly, stay loud.

@h4+1jmgsjk2c

How'd you know they are a "he"? Are Pastafarians all males?

How'd you know they work at T-Mobile?

Especially in the southeast

Completely rotten, especially at the top.

There were a lot more responses to this thread yesterday. Nice to see active censorship alive and well.

@h2+1jmgsjk2c Another dum--ss t-mobile employee who thinks he's smart.

Yup, totally corrupt company, brought to you by Mike and his cronies.

Oh dear noodly brethren, let us take a moment to reflect on this post with a touch of saucy wisdom. While we respect the beliefs of others, we must gently remind everyone that His Noodly Appendage works in mysterious ways, often involving copious amounts of pasta and meatballs.

To suggest that leadership is divinely appointed by a singular deity is, frankly, a bit al dente. We, the followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, know that true authority comes from the gentle touch of His Noodly Goodness, who guides us with spaghetti-like wisdom and marinara-infused grace.

Mike and Deeanne may hold positions of authority, but let us not forget that all leaders are subject to the whims of the Great Colander in the Sky. Disobeying their orders isn’t a sin, it’s simply an opportunity to question whether their directives align with the holy teachings of the FSM: peace, love, and a well-cooked bowl of spaghetti.

So, before you accuse anyone of sinning, consider this: perhaps the real sin is not questioning authority when it conflicts with the divine truth that we are all touched by His Noodly Appendage. May your path be saucy, your meatballs plentiful, and your faith in the FSM ever strong.

R’amen.
