Please !!!, make sure you are in the office 2 -3 days a week. If not your remote access will be removed from VPN and will be force to come to office to work. Just a heads up for people who don’t know. SLT is not happy with numbers so far for Return-To-Office so reports are going to manager for impacting people. Just stay consistent if 2 days or 3.

I know there is reporting from the badge scans, they will also turn off all door access except the main access and primary office (inside door) access ahead of them laying you off. The day they hit me, I knew something was off when my wing access didn’t work from the outside. That could have been just our cowardly director keeping the victims from walking by his office ahead of him calling us into an empty meeting room to do the deed, while he stayed in his office.
My manager confirmed that they were checking who came to the office and how often.
And you guys put so much stock in Legere, but he sold everyone out for huge payoffs. He is no better than Sievert, who’s also a self serving douche.
The severance was pretty good, can’t complain about that. It wasn’t Nextel good, but it was better than the SoftBank influenced Sprint layoff. I would have had a full year of pay in the Nextel days with the amount of time I had with the company.
Frisco office is getting the turnstiles installed.

Forks, please continue working from home until further notice.

Lol people think badge scans aren't recorded or reports aren't being sent out.
They are.
IT doesn't control security and has no access to badge scans.
IT does likely monitor VPN login, though.
Silly, it will be a German majority-owned company after the Softbank shares are transferred.
T-Mobile will be an Indian company eventually. mark my work here.
So ridiculous, they will hold it against an employee that works remote, but not against the game playing dishonest performative employees that come in, swipe badge and LEAVE. Yes, leave. You know who you are. Doesn't bother me, you do you. What bothers me is good/bad list is distorted.
Then again, who cares. They are going to do what they are going to do.
agreed, remote is the trend. T-Mobile is going to close most of small office building.
I still don't think they can do this and get away with it.
Get back to work and stop whining.
Fully remote workers are being laid off. TMO culture is gone. It walked out the door when John left.
Yeah, you will be fine, all they check is the beep sound when you getting in. Cause they spend so much money remodeling the office. They need ppl to sit in the building even by doing nothing or just eating on the desk.
So if we're going to the office every day and scanning our Badge every day, do meetings where I say and do nothing then go to get a free lunch and then take a nap in the afternoon does that keep us from getting laid off?
Asking for a friend.
I heard this was happening. However, not effectively. In some cases, the managers are covering for their employees saying they are coming into the office 3 times a week. I agree with some comments here in that the IT is too incompetent to make a meaningful report on badging. Think of the $500 million T-MOBILE lost due to data breaches.
lol, exactly, I know people here. high school diploma for most of the job requirement. what do you expect here as Top 1 in US ?
Email working ? You forget that lots of the people working at T-Mobile are not technical at all so we have to have useless "pretty" things with easy buttons like Microsoft Office.
We can hardly get converged core working and IT can barley keep e-mail alive. I doubt they can monitor anything.
While I wouldn't put something like this past them, I think you are a ringer. Did they ask you to do this and you used choppy enough wording to seem less "them"?
It doesn't make sense. So they would not allow any remote access, on any day? No evenings, weekends, emergency etc.? Or would they pick certain days for the employee to come in? Will the employee be told to come in more or access just removed without them saying anything (cowardly)? The reports will go to the manager...and the manager blocks access?
I do think they are likely to make some type of push just in time for flu season, so people can object, it be noted and held against them when it benefits "THEM". They are tallying for sure. Always have been. Probably just waiting on economy leverage to swing in their favor. Peace.
Lies. Complete lies.
Stop spreading rumors. This is absolutely false.
the point here is get a another job. regardless how T-Mobile is doing.
That's a violation of my human rights. No way they can do this and get away with it.
For those nay-sayers, believe it. Those living the "remote-worker" fantasy should wake up and see that the company can hire a more qualified individual from another country as a contractor for less than they pay you that works just as well remotely.
T-Mobile leader like people around them, totally BS stuff. easy to get a remote job in Seattle , short term will work, long term not working.
Not true. More BS.
How about the fully remote workers?
This is a strange statement since people that have VPN access are typically 24x7 salaried employees. Without access to VPN they cannot support the business at 2AM when the need calls for it. If the SLT does what you are saying then that is a serious problem and I would question their intelligence, as a shareholder.
So many remote jobs, who cares ???
