Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

T- Life has been a mess forever….

Absolutely no governance, no scope control, constantly swapping quality of releases for quantity of how much they can squeeze in.

Senthil finally got a guy on his team who knew how to fix things. He documented all of the processes, identified break points and had built a coalition between product, engineering and test who agreed on the plan and were starting to fix things.

Gues what happened next (drum roll) Senthil decided to RIF the guy who was fixing the problems, the guy who could lower Salish’s blood pressure, the guy who could restore work life balance to engineers and testers.

No one is picking up the work. Hope is diminishing that T-Life will ever be a healthy team.

Don’t believe leadership when they say they care.

Probably not OK to name anyone under VP on this board...

Sailesh and senthil both have no empathy towards employees and have had constant bias towards people they care or rather who say yes sir. No one who tries to course correct will be shown the door.

Lots of non-US folk are that way. They don't know what to do, rely on someone to show them step by step how to do it and then fire them. When it becomes a problem is when the software either breaks or needs an upgrade because the Marketing team believes you can compile one of their PowerPoint presentations.

Things will be much better going forward. I'm told he learned about a foreign concept called "leadership" while on a recent vacation to Deutschland.

I think Senthil was embarrassed that a guy who had been on his team for just a few months was accomplishing what he couldn’t do in a couple of years. Senthil is a super vindictive guy. Don’t ever upstage him.
