Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

Engineering Layoffs 2022 (Friday July 15)

Engineering layoffs are coming to Ulf’s organization ( National, Regional and Markets!!!! 10% is the initial target.

Friday July 15th, right after the vaccine exemption expectation!!!

Who should be worried? Unvaccinated employees with non medical exemption, Sprint employees with teams consisting of 6+ team members, and if you have some beef with your Boss.

I will check back in two weeks, my last day with T-Mobile was 06-17, I found a much better company that allows remote work and pays 25% more than T-Mobile was paying me.

Cheers and good luck, get out while you can.

This is not the T-Mobile I once knew under John’s leadership.

If you have a covid M/E accommodation, you are basically no better than a contractor. It's revokable at any time, at which time you either get the jab, or hit the road. [The kicker is, the questionnaire they sent employees to complete for the M/E accommodation acknowledges several different side effects, heart issues among them. (Heart damage isn't a big deal, right?)]
Yet, T-Mobile isn't liable if you get jacked up from the world's worst-ever vaccine. Nice, huh? Great "values in action." That's called doing things the right way, to the Branch Covidians running the company.
The CEO is a clever man but ultimately untrustworthy. The Senior Leadership Team is spineless, obviously, since no one speaks up regarding mandating a vaccine that neither prevents infection, or spread, or even death. Even when it was obvious to all of planet earth in January 2022 that the jabs were useless, they stuck with the mandate.
Clearly, it's nothing more than an excuse to get rid of people. (That, and the CEO couldn't handle the SCOTUS vaccine mandate ruling.)
Regarding the CEO and Senior Leaders and various VPs around the country, it is to their everlasting shame that they chose to govern the company via fear on the one hand, and spinelessness on the other. These people totally deserve their atrocious reputations.

Unvaccinated employees will be the first to go. TMO says they'll honor medical exemptions but then say you're required to go into the office or you'll be let go. The catch? You have to be vaccinated for an in office position. So yes, they will honor a medical exemption but only if you're a 100% remote worker. For the small percent of us who have conditions preventing us from being vaccinated, this is not only unfair, it puts our heads on the chopping block for lay offs first.
For a company that spews lectures about how loyal they are, they sure don't show it.

To the author of this post, I cannot believe you invoked John’s leadership as the corporate culture of paradigm. John is the one who received a 9-figure golden umbrella after selling all of you down the river.

Do you not remember John and Marcello telling you how wonderful it was going to be? Where are both of those gentlemen right now? They are on a beach laughing their rear ends off at you.

John played you and here you are hero worshiping him. Yes, he was a good motivator and good sales person. At the end of the day, look at where he ended up post acquisition and look at where everyone else is.

John was the p!mp in this relationship. The shareholders were the “John’s” What does that make you and the rest of the employees left behind in this mess?

So is T-Mobile not honoring religious accommodations anymore even in protected states?

Freedom of Religion anyone? Title 7 of Civil Rights Act of 1964.

More cell sites with less field techs to go between them. We already work crazy enough hours.

The last customer services on non retained cell sites will be gone by 1 July so the 15th sounds reasonable. Contractors can decommission sites with no traffic.

Just got out of a meeting. The layoffs are not limited to sprint side. Engineering on T-Mobile’s side is also on the chopping block though I only heard about 7% is getting cut.

CDMA is shut down. You don't need the completely separate technical support org that was in Sprint for it. This was inevitable

I left in 2021. 10% seems a bit too much but you guys know better than I.

This is not good.

Good luck all.
