Contrary to popular belief, the layoffs did not start with the Sprint Merger, Covid, or change in leadership from John Leger to Mike Sievert. Instead, the demise of T-Mobile and subsequent layoffs started with the exedous of one employee. That employee was so regarded by Legere, Sievert, and the fellow C-Suite, that when DT came to town, they deferred to "them". All of the UC ideas, "them". Home Internet, "them". T-Mobile Tuesdays, "them" - the list is so long, say it with me, "them". That person is long gone - but the shell of "their" company - survives today. It is because of "them",
not Legere, not Sievert, not any of the active leadership, why any of us even have a job still - as without "them", we would have been bought my Marcelo in 2021, not vice-versa. To think we laid this MF off instead of promoting them to CEO....

It's gone down like a 3 cent trollop since Neville left.
So Slim, did you quit? Or get laid off with a severance?
@en Matt Staneff is the best to ever do it at T Mobile because his quiet genius made the competition inside curl like bi--hes every time he moved out. He floated like Ali and hit just as hard as a "Kr--t"! GOAT...layoffs started when he left in 2021. Everyone knows he was the brains and when he left the UC died.

The "brains" and the "brawn"....
Is it Matt...?
Come on, guys. Jesus Christ. It’s Jim Alling.
@eg No id--t...read the thread..he was # 2 on his own team.
I think you’re referring to Mark Roettgering.
@ed Come on...of course it was him...who could her have been..not Janice, not Susan, not Callie, not Tim...so think harder...tHEm was a man.
@ec Jeff B wasn't even in the top 10-K...try again...Matty Ice!
When you say we should have promoted them to CEO, is that they/them?
With those added comments, I submit to you ladies and gentlemen: Jeff Binder
Hello Mr Dotson. It’s been a while.
New challenge...3k views by 12am PT....I will tell you who it is...
If anyone guesses...extra credit

@ct good guess, but no this is like guess Dave Carrey
@bj no
Andrew Sherrard (thank you ChatGPT)
@a5
I will reveal it, if this thread gets to 10-K views - "they" would find that amusing 🤣
Braxton Carter?
@b6 your pain is due to the merger terms saying no immediate layoffs of duplicate job functions.
One thing you can be sure of: it wasn't the Sprint people "Who Built T-Mobile".
Well, I've only been with T-Mobile for ten years; but that's when I started seeing layoffs (two years after the merger with Sprint). I also noticed at that time no more opportunities for advancement. Navigating a career never was nor should it be this difficult.
@a5 Well, I heard that this person is also responsible for free lunches. So they must be relatively heavy-set.
I agree with you. We owe Marcus East a debt of gratitude.
Who?
@OP The Satoshi Nakamoto of T-Mobile. Few people know the real Slim Shady.
