Can the company even afford to lay people off anymore. It seems we're consistently losing high performing employees through attrition, and we're not getting backfill for the positions. I can't imagine my department running any "leaner".

Next round of layoffs need to hit the director level+ especially hard. There are still faaaaaaaarrrr too many VP, SVP, EVPs getting paid millions of dollars to fly around the country and do nothing!

In the following 4 weeks we are going to see a 37% cut of IT staffing. This is not region specific, sites seeing the cuts should expect more broad layoffs as the year progresses.

Don't take my word for it, take the "you can demote or be let go" meeting as fact.

DFS (dealer financial services) was cut yesterday, moving all the Bellevue team members to Overland park (like anyone would move). More and more finance positions are getting drawn into the new Magenta services center. Nobody in finance is safe... — read more 

or does Mike remind you of Kermit the frog with his fake open mouth smiles at the all team meetings?

Anyone having any damage control meetings about the employee survey yet?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/29/tech/fcc-fines-att-verizon-200-million/index.html T-Mobile fined $80M Sprint fined $12M Of course, pending appeal. Mikey needs to speak to the Biden Administration on what to do.

Sievert thins out or ranks by laying off thousands, then turns around and spends $950M on a futile effort and double down on his home internet play? Why are we silent about this?

I was on vacation this week and just saw John Saw’s email where CTO promoted 75 people. Are these promotions company wide? Did the see the survey results and panic? Layoffs to come to compensate?

Why do we sometimes do earning before market opens or after it closes? Will the earning be impacted by all the layoffs short term, because of all the severance?

...eventually...Bellevue will be downsized to a regional RBO like AT&T did with Redmond and official HQ will be Kansas. Not like tomorrow...but soon...very soon.

We made it another day, NO LAYOFFS REPORTED TODAY.... Prepare to wake up tomorrow and give T-Mobile 100% effort. Thanks in advance!!

Protect them. Keep them far away from T-Mobile.

Hello. Take or leave, it believe or not but T-Force is getting offshored. Don't say I didn't try to warn you.

Our consumer side is winning the race vs the competition. How about TFB? Is there growing success here as well? Numbers attainable, etc?

Walking away from the labor force with $615K in cash for my 18 years of service. T-Mobile seems like a dream to me now after 6 months. Sad, I started with Voicestream where everybody and even the country and company seemed happy, and now its a dour... — read more

Thanks a bunch for today’s voice and data outage that left me isolated from calls and gig jobs. I’m surprised this didn’t make the news. Who else was impacted? https://downdetector.com/status/t-mobile/

As of this morning, the remaining 3 switch techs, which includes me have been laid off, SWOPS is no more. I would like to wish FOPS and the security guard good luck, please do not call me for questions.

Imagine where we could be if the C-suite members were effective and not only focused on their own bottom lines.

So it begins. CEC rep here in Central Region. Received a meeting maker for 3/18 for “business updates”. Mixture of experts all the way up to TMs listed in the required field.

T-Mobile is purposely making dramatic structural changes with its so-called Area model to drive people to quitting so they don’t have to perform more layoffs. Great way to reduce headcount, but the good employees are the ones who are leaving! The... — read more
