T-Mobile has been laying off American workers while increasing its reliance on engineers who are outsourced from other countries, despite the fact that its most recent financial reports show record profits. This business is able to increase its bottom line by reducing the number of jobs held by American engineers.

Agreed. But how to control the vendor are major operated by Indian team, only indian know how to work with Indians.
Funny how the US people white or not were the ones that turned the company around in 2012. Running to cheap foreign talent is ki----g the company. I am tired of woke mentality. Let the best do the job regardless of who it may be.
Do not say that, just leave and you will be out of this.
TMO is sort of racist. I remember Sievert saying in an email and all hands that they would “retain people of color” a couple of years ago. That in and of itself is racist. As far as keeping foreigners on work visas, it’s true! And they promote them first too, creating fake senior positions for people who really deserve them to only apply and get no place. If you are a citizen of this country and are characterized as “white” and work for TMO, leaving and working someplace that only hires US citizens is a wise choice.
East European, Filipino and Indian workers are way hungrier to get ahead than American ones even though they get paid much less. Independent dealers and private contractors too. They don't see their jobs as entitlements, they've got to hustle just to run in place. It's a global world, and you need to match your expectations to what the rest of the world expects, and consumers expect more service at lower prices, never mind the same even though the costs of everything are going up.
From a humanitarian perspective, if you can feed four families in Manila or Pune for a single entitled dude working in their PJs you're doing good. And it's not if TM is trying to cut out the human element entirely, if you've ever tried some of the supercheap MVNOs, you've got to talk to a chatbot for 15 minutes before you get to an Indian guy named Jennifer Smith who only reads a script and can't help you.
Others are right about the H1-Bs engineers too. These guys HAVE to keep their job, or they're on the next ticket home after probably 10 years of desperate effort. If they show up back at home disappointing their families who probably drained their retirement savings to get them here. They work themselves to the bone 12 hours a day, and scoff at the idea of people who have a notion of work-life balance. There's mouths to feed, and they send half their paychecks home to the mamas and papas who raised em.
Look at the tmus stock price today
Sure! Not increasing prices but is including more fees! What is the differences? Propaganda lies!!!
Dont confuse profits and employment. Most companies are facing the same inflation on goods and services that the average consumers are, however T-Mobile isnt raising its prices to its own customers. that money has to come from somewhere... can't be like a drunken sailor on payday.
As long as leadership feels happy, who cares. Looks at LinkedIn posts from them, feel sucks.
Better to have 4 overseas engineers for the price one American one. Seriously. And the one American one probably immigrated from China or India. If they didn't they probably call AAA because they can't figure out how to jumpstart their car. Mexican engineers >>> American ones. Sad but true.
Yes they really did that.
Did they really do that ?
