Just got notification that all impacted team members have been notified.
Churn baby Churn
Leave em!!!
We are all family at T-Mobile, until we are not
It strikes me odd that the CEO, who just received a 5-year employment contract extension, is the same person announcing a 7% or nearly 5000 person layoff. I understand the C-suite operates by very different rules. But it still rings hallow given that... — read more
Follow the money
"This strong financial performance also supported our share buybacks as we repurchased 25.2 million shares for $3.5 billion in Q2 with a cumulative total of 83.5 million shares repurchased for $11.8 billion as of July 21." Peter Osvaldik, CFO, July... — read more
Employee Appreciation Night Tomorrow…haha
Anyone else to it is hilarious tomorrow is employee appreciation night at T-Mobile park tomorrow? I can’t decide if that will be hilarious or depressing. Guessing it will more likely just be drunk.
Break up with your carrier
Have you ever been in a relationship in your 20s where you know its over, but you have a birthday coming up so you stick it out just a bit longer cause they got those VIP concert tickets you've been wanting? That's kind of how I feel now. I used to... — read more
CVS Health colleague here to apologize...
I just read an NPR story about the T-Mobile layoffs and it's all eerily similar to what just happened to us at CVS Health. So similar, in fact, that I feel the need to apologize to T-Mobile employees on behalf of my company's CEO. You see, it's... — read more
Serious question, though
Are they going to keep giving out the free lunches?
When you start talking, I stop listening

Parsippany closures?
Anyone out there have some timelines?
60 Day Transition
For everyone that does get let go, congratulations. Best thing to happen to my group, months ago. 20+ years and I didn’t realize my worth, until I was forced to. We all found much better paying positions and a better culture. I no longer worry about... — read more
Layoff package?
Can anyone who has been impacted in this round of layoffs confirm exactly what is included in the exit package?
If You are under Jon Freier
Layoff is inevitable. The Sievert management style, manage them out. How pathetic. Can’t use the people to innovate so Eliminate. Hope they laid off a diverse group.
I warned everyone 2 months ago about these layoffs. The downvote crew flamed me and said I was making it up.
I warned everyone right here - https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1o287bUG 5,000 people are now getting canned, 3,900 more by the end of the year. If you are in engineering, T-Force or Tech, get the he-l out. This company doesn't care, as recent as today... — read more

Dept/org/location layoff check in. (Be serious)
Alright, folks, The layoff of 5K employees will impact many organizations and locations. Being in a vacuum su-ks. If you/your group gets impacted, would you mind sharing your org and location?
There it is people
5k people gone by end of September.
When will the Kool aid chuggers get it??
The magenta culture is bull. Especially for lower levels. Just a way to keep you engaged and 'obsessed'. Freier and his lackeys (Dara, Sandoval, Eli, etc) will run this company into the ground. Freier has full reign and everyone seems to be afraid... — read more
The party starts soon
Expect and email from ole Mike. Then Ops, Training, and AP will all be given a package and encouraged to reapply for their position. However, the titles they once held will be different and the pay will be lower.
Layoff Criteria?
Could you guys provide insights into the specific criteria that were employed for the recent layoffs? I'm curious to understand the methods by which individuals were chosen for termination. Was there a particular set of qualifications... — read more
Over 50% impacted?!
Rumor alert! - Is anyone hearing this could impact more than 50% of back-office/support roles across consumer?
No coverage in Elysburg Pa
Small town rural coverage is a farce. I’m at Knoebels in Elysburg Pa and I’m using public Wi-Fi to type this because I’m pi---d I have no service. It is still summer, when I get back I’m switching. T mobile should be laid off, 99 percent coverage... — read more
Is there anything good about T-Mobile?
Layoffs, cuts in benefits, managers who only know how to manage through bullying (meaning, they have no idea how to manage), complete lack of transparency, and so many other things immediately come to mind when I think about this place. When it comes... — read more

TFB Layoffs?
I work in TFB. The amount of money being tossed around for minimal performance seems unsustainable. Especially when everyone up the chain from the bottom gets paid for the same activations when they are referred from retail. Will remote TFB folks be... — read more
Are Layoffs happening this week?
Is this the week for mass layoffs? Will remote workers be targeted?
August 30th - Magenta Layoffversary?
In 2022, our BU (RNEO) had layoffs on August 30th. This year too it seems we will have it on the same day. I guess it’ll be this way for few more years. Anyone remember which was the first Business Unit to be impacted last year?
T-Mobile extends Sievert’s contract by 5 years
Let’s not forget that Mike Seivert renewed his contract until 2028 this year! #UltimateGrifter https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/t-mobile-extends-sieverts-contract-5-years
Have any MEs received their schedule past the week of August 26?
I checked my entire store in UKG, and found out none of the employees have received their schedule past August 26. To me, that seems like a strong sign something is going to happen like everyone here has speculated.
So what, if layoff happens to you
Here are the facts- People get new jobs everyday. People get fired from jobs everyday. You will have 60 days to find a new job. If you get a new job, you have extra cash from the packages. So relax
