Can someone tell me how T-Mobile can survive on so few employees compared to their rivals?
AT&T - 160,700 employees
VZ - 117,100 employees
T-Mobile - 66,000 employees
(After 5k reduction)

From Ulf's perspective, given that Sprint had one operational team for CDMA, a separate ops team for LTE/5G and T-Mobile had a SINGLE ops team for 2G/3G/LTE/5G, there's plenty of reason/room to cut 2/3 of the operational teams and have a single operational team to focus on the combined network.
This company is so thin! They did away with their operations team, and hand the retail staff more responsibility. With no ops team this will cause massive chaos in regards to promos, credits, c2 questions etc. the customer will ultimately suffer and go elsewhere. They need a senior leadership change out if they expect to survive. Sell the your stock, and be prepared it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
You will work three times as hard for the same pay and like it, boy. That is how.
AT&T and Verizon have fiber businesses, copper businesses, are ILECs in certain markets, have B2B businesses centered around their wireline assets, have linear video, etc.
It’s not apples to apples to compare their total employees to T-Mobile’s.
Logical conclusion is they are going the way of Sprint. Contractors. Contractors everywhere.
I seriously doubt Deutsche Telekom is going to sell to anyone unless they get a ridiculous amount for it.
TMO will be sold to Comcast.
Those that are left now have 3 jobs with same pay.
Verizon and AT&T have other businesses they staff.
