Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

T-Mobile reported massive profits at the recent earings call. Yet, they are laying off thousands.

Talk about an unethical company. Laying off hundreds if not thousands each quarter all while the executive rake in enormours bonuses. If T-Mobile is making this much money it makes you wonder why they keep laying us off?

They are laying you off because you are a disposable human resource to them. Nothing more. I am always amazed that people expect love and loyalty from a non-person entity, a corporation. A corporation is a separate entity with its own lawyers and interests.

To a corporation, you are the same as a HVAC unit, a break room toaster, or a network switch site. When you reach the end of your useful shelf life, you are discarded and/or replaced.

Take their money and look after yourself. Corporations are the enemy of the the modern workforce. When they show signs of betrayal, act first.

Not a fan of that Carrier Callout bs. It’s a bit juvenile and put us in a box.

We are also cutting back opex spend on suppliers for gear and support. Going to make it a lot harder to support our planned growth. Going to be a slave ship in engineering.

They're backed into a corner. The brilliant marketing team decided to pillory ATT/VZ for raising prices. Now that we need to raise prices to cover cost, we can't. We'd look like a bunch of liars. So, rather than raise prices, you lower cost. Easiest way to do that (other than "Synergies" taking 3+ years) is to reduce your biggest top line cost. Payroll.

And so we're reducing payroll by Covid Firings and weekly layoffs.

I agree. Layoff is nice way to say GTFO when they would really like to fire you.

Probably because they don’t need you. Just a guess.
