Today it was announced that no changes will come to T100 Sr. Managers, SMRA Market Managers, Express Retail Development Managers, and Sr. Managers. However, other frontline positions will be impacted as soon as this month! T-Mobile will move away from constant change to frontline organizational changes after these changes. We will see if this is true or yet another lie from T-Mobile. They have lied in the past!

Some of you people are really terrible human beings for saying what you’re saying. Fu-k you.
Jon is a sociopathic narcissist who recently went on insane tirades about his immense marital problems and other things in Org-level calls. He does not understand the organization he leads, neither do his lackeys…
Freier the liar
SMRA layoffs is a complete lie. Whoever your authority is wrong. And I would know.
No “layoffs” for frontline. Being driven to quit by micromanaging leaders who ARE under threat of layoffs, absolutely.
My Operations Manager in the East never provides much support yet gives me unnecessary work to do. I don’t know what these people do.
Liar!!!!! I have it on good authority that there will be SMRA layoffs
I was on the call. Jon didn’t announce layoffs. He was asked a question about morale from a longtime employee that was related to looming layoffs.
He said there would be no changes to frontline roles and management positions in the field. He did say there would be adjustments in field and headquarters support roles. That probably means layoffs, but he never said layoffs or reductions. He got the question and took it head on. I give him credit for that.
The support that we’re receiving in the field is the worst it’s been in years. Reporting is the worst it’s ever been. Systems flake out every other day. While I’m not sure what they are, I think I welcome these “adjustments” whatever they may be. How things are going today isn’t sustainable.
At least folks get a head up from Jon about a potential headcount reduction, not people under Ulf.. By the time people under Ulf hear something, it is straight to the exit door.
TPR dealers to purchase express metro doors? Are you sure?? Maybe to covert those locations into TPR doors but not to operate both Metro and TPR. Then again, Directors from Express, Core, and TPR all were in a large in person meeting this week… Jon, wouldn’t have mentioned select roles are safe unless it was guaranteed. Could you imagine the lawsuit if that happened.
Welcome to the new T_Sprint. This was the life at Sprint with layoffs every year. Support including reporting, training, HR, IT and others will be cut deep. If not in a support role, at first you will be thankful that you were not cut. Soon you will realize that your workload has doubled since all the support you did not realize you had is gone and now you are on your own.
Meanwhile, any positive culture you enjoyed will slowly fade away. Benefits you thought were cool. Gone. Free incentives you enjoyed. Gone. Opportunity for growth and advancement. Gone. Only the top leaders will continue to win.
How to thrive in this future?
Key is to recognize that you have a choice. No one is forcing you to work here. If the job feels terrible go get a new one somewhere else. Do not make the choice to keep doing something that destroys you. Do not be a victim.
Believe you are better than anything negative around you. You work for you and not your manager, Jon or Mike. You
I thrived through 12 years of Sprint su-katude by taking control of my life and attitude. You can do the same if you stay.
One lie after another. There has been constant change since T-Mobile combined with Sprint and the only thing that is consistent is the SLT of the Consumer Group. JF, CS, DS, AW, MS, TH, DC all are at the top of the consumer team and despite the poor revenue results all of these people are still in their roles and continue to reorganize as a way to justify their positions. One word to T-Mobile employees - Unionize -before it’s too late. You have to have a bigger voice because the leaders are just looking out for themselves. How many times have you been told your role is safe and how many additional reorganization layoffs have you been through. At some point this is bad for your mental health and I’m hearing about anxiety, depression, and other mental issues due to the constant feeling that you aren’t going to have job. This is mental abuse and it’s time we bind together and demand change. The lack of sales and revenues coming in have to be made up somewhere and sadly it’s not coming from the Consumer Group leadership’s salary; it’s coming from laying off employees and reduction in headcount. Jon isn’t “kept up at night worrying about having to layoff good employees” but rather focused on how he can be self serving and thinking that he is some celebrity within an organization where he pays the employees and buys their attention with the underlying threat of losing their job.
Where’s that paid Bot preaching no layoffs are coming lol.
He specified that “we have to rethink how we do support”, and said “HQ support” was the area they were looking into The SVP team was on the call confirming who or who wasn’t “safe”. The frontline is not at risk. The support teams are the ones at risk… AGAIN. This is the second workforce reduction to hit the support teams in 2 years. The craziest part was he stated all these while answering a question about morale being low on the frontline.
He says he keeps it real, and candid, but this “announcement” was so “matter of fact” that it came off as a slap in the face to anyone who works a support role. It’s like they didn’t care at all.
More unsubstantiated speculation. Please wait until announcements are made at the upcoming AHM.
Cheers for now 👺
No clue what this means
He has said that before.
As far as SLT he is the biggest liar.
Express (metro)doors are closing or being forced to sell to TPR dealers.
I’m high density areas door will close, jobs will be cut.
