Anything about BVS (consumer) being affected today or any time soon? Coaches are walking around whispering, apparently they all have 15 mins meetings today. I do not have any calendar invites myself.
I wanted to drop this message for you all today.
Hope this helps. “ We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Don’t let an email take away your never ending hope and promise for a greater tomorrow!

Multiple Orgs getting Emails
It’s happening as many people projected tomorrow AM and probably Wednesday also. Stop asking what organization and for all the details. People are sharing what they can without exposing themselves. Bottom line is a lot of us are receiving emails for... — read more

Our 2025 annual review was never done. Manager, Director were laid off in December
Is there other team who did not have annual reviews for 2025
I feel like I'm waiting for a slab of concrete to fall on my head
I'm in one of those bad stretches in life when problems just pile up - family issues, aging parents, health stuff. Everything's breaking down all at once, and the bills keep piling up. I'd probably handle the job uncertainty better if everything else... — read more
January 20th
How many have spent the weekend checking email for a meeting maker. Side tracking life while foreign interests and foreign nationals pervert data to show a better story then may be the truth. Leaders get to take the money and run. You should too... — read more
The real burden falls on the survivors
After they let people go, it's always the same story. Management brings in new, cheaper folks, but they're basically in training for a solid year before they can pull real weight - if they ever do. So who picks up the slack? The people who are... — read more
Tomorrow is the day…
Good luck! This is the verified!
TMUS Global Solutions
Just saw it in my linkedin feed. Incorporated on 12/5/25 and beginning operations in 1/2026! Curious timing!
Regional and Market Selection criteria
I’m a former manager in the market and this is usually how ICs are selected. It’s mainly based on bonus and performance review on Workday. Top performers with a 120% bonus or above are generally safe, while those below 80% are usually in... — read more
How many? And from what orgs?
The whispers of worst case scenario are getting old.
Only stupid people are racist
Be mad at executives. don’t be mad at your Indian coworker or your white coworker for that matter. Just look at the facts: america’s money is getting hoovered up by billionaires. it’s not getting hoovered up by H1Bs. if you crave control over the... — read more
Metro RDMs
How many are being cut
Good luck next week
I expect it to be worse than what we've already been through. Being under this much stress for so long doesn't help with what's coming. I truly hope that whatever happens, things work out in the end for each and every one of us. And don't forget that... — read more
eliminate all of the satellite offices
Why don't they eliminate all of the satellite offices and remote employees first? There are some directors, senior directors and VPs that hide at home all the time, some that wear the same clothes days on end that are never in the office. They hide... — read more
Negotiate severance?
So hearing the severance situation is at least 2 months garden pay, possibly another 8 weeks on top of that and 2x weeks for each year of service; at least from two other threads on here. Has anyone heard of the ability to negotiate for more pay... — read more
Questions to be asked on the layoff call
I feel it is what it is. The severence rules are laid out. Is there anything specific you should ask?
What about Contractors??
Are they even laying off contractors ??talking about technology ( networking )
Severance
Severance is 8 weeks + 2 weeks/year worked, upto max of 26 weeks. Is the garden leave considered as the initial 8 weeks? If not, max severance is 8 weeks of garden leave + 26 weeks of severance, right?
Job security - What a joke.
Telecom used to be the kind of industry where you could build a career and retire from it, especially for engineers in RF, Systems and Networking. When many of us started out years ago, we accepted that trade-off: other fields might pay more, but... — read more
Not much empathy for tenured who get laid off
I’m probably just a complete d-mb a$$ but I dont feel much empathy for laid off employees who have tenure assuming the severance packages match what is on magenta pulse. 2+ months garden leave 2 weeks additional severance per year of service on... — read more
Details…
When are the 15 min meeting notices put on your calendar? Morning of layoff day? Night before? Also, do they tell you when to go in the office to pack up your personal stuff? Do you have to give back home monitors? Would like some additional insights... — read more

For those of us who are lucky to stick around after layoffs…
of course, my heart goes out to those who lost their jobs and will lose their jobs, and heck I may also lose my job next week, but i have feeling based on what I do and our tiny team, I’ll probably stick around and get more responsibility or rather... — read more
If you haven’t figured it out yet……
TMO does not give a sh-t about anyone. The we are a people first company mantra they constantly push is complete BS. TMO is a profit and growth first company, we the people are nothing more than a means to that end. If you have not been impacted by... — read more
