Hilarious that everyone that’s been laid off by t mobile, the very first thing they do is make a big post thanking T mobile lmao. The fakest sh-t I ever seen in my life. Just be real for a moment and post that way you actually feel. This is why Linkedin is so trash is because of how fake everyone is on there.

Yeah I’m with the majority here, it’s not brown-nosing or kissing the ring of TMO, it’s showing up professionally and resilient for the next job, surely, all these people are furious and mad and scared and i would be too (or will be? If i get ousted!) but i already know i’d post on LinkedIn something about “it’s been a great ride” and highlight all the stuff i did while there so it’s clear ammo for the next job or opportunity. - it’s just the game for LinkedIn is all it is
@c9 or they could just refrain from licking the magenta boot and just refresh their profile and give clear understanding they are re-entering the job market.
Saw a linkedin post yesterday from the Technology team. Looked like the picture they had taken was from a Director/Sr MTS meeting. Everyone in the photo was happy, slapping each other on the back with Ankur in the center. Can't wait to see 50% of those weasels get cut.
As many said earlier, LinkedIn is a network of people from different companies with all type of roles. Your professional image and potential exposure on LinkedIn goes a long way. It’s not brown nosing, it’s not being fake. It’s making sure that you uphold your image for the next potential employer. If you see it differently, in your next interview trash your previous employer to the panel and tell me if you get the job. There are plenty of other apps for you to cry and say what you feel (Reddit, X, Facebook, etc)
So you're just going to crash out in 4K and then get black-balled in any serious industry? Enjoy Wal-Mart as your new job.
@OP LOL. There is certainly no shortage of brown nosing and self esteem on LinkedIn. LOL
They only remember how one left? Not what they did, their education, skill, performance - none of those? Just how they left? I am not asking them to throw tantrum on their way out. In fact please do not throw anything at all, just do not thank for the opportunity.
The big wigs are already telling us performance does not matter. Think about it. The only thing an average employee can control, their performance on the job, that one thing does not matter. What matters then? What can we control? Be forever toxic positive and Thank someone else for our living?
We done it to ourselves. Peace.
People only remember how you leave, and if you want to stay with T-Mobile, you need to ensure that people remember how you handled being impacted.
Do not post anything negative, agreed. However, there is still room for an opinion, if they intend to. But the "Thank you for the opportunity" cr-p does not bode well, even if they are moving at their own will. Sounds more like they had an opportunity beyond their capability, IMHO.
Use the pay as long as it lasts, and start looking for next one. If they were foot soldiers and were networking with foot soldiers, the network will not get you far anyway - IMHO.
I agree, my initial instinct would be brutally honest but if you’re looking for another gig something like that can bite you down the road.
I mean why would you post how you really feel? You still need a job right? I assume most people still have bills, a mortgage, car payments, ext….
They’re not saying that because it’s a “yay I love the company”, it’s because you’re more likely to find a job from the people you know, your network. Burning the bridge on the way out does nothing but make you feel better mentally but absolutely shuts doors for you career wise. You would be labeled as “do not re-hire” which means if a position opens up, you’re not getting it. And your LinkedIn network sees your lack of maturity and thinks, do they want to vouch or extend an olive branch to someone who doesn’t think of the consequences.
All this is to say…you’re seeing people professionally notify their network that they’re open for opportunities
