Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

Layoffs were not always a thing

Remember when major layoffs were not something we had to fear all the time? I do. I remember the time before the merger when layoffs were rare and usually small in scope. I remember when one of the things I would boast about working here was job security. It's sad to realize how much we've lost.

Only in a fantasy world will a company be that transparent about layoffs. Like it or not, that's the capitalist way that so many of you love.

@9ejb+1mDK9Eye... You are right. There is no avoiding it. However, for a company that pretends to care about their employees, and for a company that claims that they are different, they went about the layoffs in a cr-ppy way. They should have been open and honest. They should have asked for volunteers. They were sneaky and deceptive.

Anytime two companies come together to make one there are layoffs. Two companies + one network = redundancy. There is no avoiding it.

T-Mobile infected itself with the Sprint virus. John Legere and Marcelo got paid. You all are now holding the bag of póò. Haha

Yes, they influence it, but blaming a company's performance on a president's policies while ignoring many other factors is just willful ignorance.

For you to think that a president doesn’t have control over the economy, you’re crazy. Secondly if you’ve stayed on top of the new tax increases it penalizes big businesses. If you aren’t familiar with it, then read up on it.

The new tax laws have penalized tons of big businesses including Amazon, Apple just to name a few.

Is this a joke? You're forgetting one minor detail - a worldwide pandemic. Presidents never have that immediate an impact on the economy and it certainly is t the reason for T-Mobile's performance.

Please let’s not forget, when the merger had been approved and things were bright we had Trump in office who’s a business man. He’s good for big business. As soon as we get Biden in office, we are in major debt, companies are laying people off left and right AND he is punishing big companies with tax increase. Let’s not blame this on Senior Leadership. Stop and just thing for a minute.

@2dsc+1mDK9Eye You can thank JL for this ... and the toxicity is continued by MS. Blame Sprint all you want because you don't want to lay responsibility where it belongs. The SLT is to blame for all the sh-t that is going down at T-Mobile.... but go ahead and keep drinking that Magenta kool aide.

Times have changed over the past 10 years and the merge didn't help. The sad thing is that the uncarrier gimmick was only to trick america to allow it to merge with another carrier. Remember that tmobile only found success through failure. Failing to compete then subsequently failing to merge with at&t. The money tmobile received from failing to merge with at&t was used to fund the uncarrier gimmick. The actual successful thing they did was fooling everyone. Then the merger. Then the reality.

Historically T-Mobile was never a good company amd by the looks of it, never will be.
