Today is really going to su-k on this site. It will be sad to hear if so many being let go. Also, the whiniest and loudest groups are being impacted. Buckle up readers - it's gonna get loud on here!
Once again, many high performers were let go
I can't even say I'm surprised anymore.
Another round in November? For Director level and above?
I was talking to a colleague (or say ex-colleague, we were both let go on 08/24) and he mentioned that there will be another major round in November when Director layer and above will be trimmed. This was the first time I heard of this. Anyone else... — read more
When will it finally be over??
I feel it's inhumane to put us through this again and again instead of getting it over within a single week, if not a day.
Massive customer care layoff wave coming.
No one is safe this time.
H1B jobs always get saved, why? Cause they don't want to be seen as bad by media
H1B jobs will always get saved. Why? Cause if you layoff H1B workers and the media get a hold of the news, the company will look bad because H1Bs will have to either find another job that will support H1B visa within 90 days or have to sell... — read more
Ever wonder how much H1Bs make in salary?
https://www.myvisajobs.com/H1B-Visa/SearchLCA.aspx?E=T-Mobile%20Usa Just put your company name. These are the actual salaries that they actually make. Many are perhaps more then what you make (especially if you're an old timer).
They're here!
So, our fearless leader said 7% a couple weeks ago. So far in our market today alone, 20% of FOPS and 35% of SWOPS is gone. What a joke! Directed at Mike Seivert, you uneducated, inexperienced tw-twaffle! One of two things happened since you said... — read more
Blindsided
I knew this was coming and I still feel blindsided. I guess you can never prepare for something like this.
Severance Legal Advice
Anyone actually get legal advice that was helpful to share?
If you didn't think call center closures were real, you probably believe the rumors now.
I am assuming that a lot of you got some news today. This seems really bad. Time to get the he-l out of here.
H1B vs Qualified Citizen
Sorry I need to preface this with - I am not xenophobic. This post is meant for productive discussion, not devolvement into bigotry. As a condition of employment for H1B visa holders, tmo needs to prove in each case that a suitable US citizen is not... — read more
Received meeting invite from Director for tomorrow
RNEO Director and Sr. Manager in the invite Good luck everyone
Remote Field Tech
I am a remote Field Tech that is over 4 hours from the office, I cover close to 3000 sq miles. Hopefully this makes me safe but who knows anymore. Part of me wants to be let go but another part wants to keep the job a few more years until I can leave... — read more
Let me help the impacted folks, I went through it in January and it su-ks!
1- Normal insurance covers through the end of the month in which your last day falls on. Cobra kicks in the next 2 FULL months, paid by TMO and you use the same medical cards with the same coverage even on cobra. You can elect to pay Cobra for the... — read more
Sad journey from "Un-Carrier" to "Un-Employed"...irreparable damage to T-Mobile brand
T-Mobile won't raise prices in theses inflationary times like the competition, it's just easier to take it out on 5000+ employees and cut costs instead. Just a quick note to all of those being impacted to stay positive! This move by T-Mobile will... — read more
AZ Points
Do we get cash value or should I just buy gift cards with them now?
Patiently Waiting
Patiently waiting for heads to roll. So far it's been pretty quiet. *pokes SLT with a stick "Come on do something"
How is TMO informing us?
What is the method of layoff communication? Are they doing mass conf calls, is your direct management contacting you directly, or are they just emailing you with separation information? Just trying to be prepared. For what to expect.
What criteria did they use to evaluate engineers performance
I have confirmed with multiple sources that they didn't receive any feedback from your direct manager or even the senior manager. So, how can they assess our performance if they don't even know our names?
What about orgs that were affected in previous rounds?
Somebody said their org was hit again, is that even possible? I thought every org that was affected was already told it was now safe. Did I misunderstand?
What questions to ask on the Layoff call?
Just preparing myself for the dreaded call. What questions should you ask?
You are laid off... Now what
Ok, so I am impacted (deep breath) Now what? Where do I sign that severance and turn it in? Is this done electronically? Or is this something I need to hand in a paper copy?
Top 100 and SMRA joint call today!!! 8/5/23
All Senior Managers from both channels, Directors and Terry Hayes only! Wonder what that’s about ???
Who’s Next?
Curious what group everyone is thinking cuts are happening in this week.
Is there a lump sum payment?
Is there a lump sum payment this time around? I heard not.
What/who is global care?
What group is that (director, VP)? What do they do?
Layoff Notifications on 9/5
Starting post for all notified today. Please post department/Org
The worst part is waiting to hear about your org
The most messed up part about the layoffs besides the layoffs themselves is torturing people for weeks and weeks while they wait to hear their fate. It’s just cruel and the worst possible way to conduct business.
When were layoff decisions made?
Anyone know when the leaders deciding the company would need to eliminate 25-30% of corporate/back office positions? Was this in the works for awhile?
Data science job market
Got laid off as a data scientist. worried about the job market outside. should i get any internal roles?
New Training
Just received an email to complete: Integrity 365 Season 4 Episode 3 Yeah I’ll get right on that.
Does ScamShield block “the call”?
Asking for a friend. I also have my phone set to ignore unknown numbers. Stay of execution?
Enjoy while you can
We all know what's coming tomorrow.
Integrity line
Since the company has no integrity. Is this team going to be cut?
Finding out coworkers status
I know T-Mobile doesn’t advertise lists of those laid off, but is there another forum or way to find out who was let go vs who was retained?
Just back from PTO/LOA
Had to take a few weeks personal time. What departments and how bad were cuts?
Risk and Compliance Impacts?
Does anyone know if there are or will be impacts?
