"Marketing barely had any changes while other groups had to make lots of changes. Marketing didn’t really play here. Shocker. What else is new."

25% is barely any changes? Someone needs to go back to math class.

I would say that Mark Roettgering and Bill Galicia on their way out is hardly “barely any changes”. Plus 25% of the org.

...Is TMO offering to purchase someone's existing home and provide financing / assistance for forced moves to a high-cost area like Bellevue?....

Of course, Mike will also assist in allowing you to use the company's private jet for the move, and Callie will offer her personal designer to help design your new home. If you don't wish to relocate, simply let us know.

I’m so confused why some awesome people were laid off entirely, some could stay where is, and others were given relocation. What was your experience?

Who was the senior leader impacted?

Sadly no Senior leadership impacted but one. Interesting. You know, I stumbled into TMobile’s net margin… I think the company is operating without ready cash and now has some risky debt… might be good to go now…

Does your severance pay start now or upon the separation date (which for me is Dec 4th)? It’s a bit confusing in the severance agreement which we’re told to not sign until Your separation date.

You might not get an e-mail invite. Some our our meeting/1:1 invites are coming directly through Slack.

Yep, got laid off. I feel numb right now, but I know this will lead to better days. And I'm honestly just glad it's over! The anticipation was ki-ling me. Now, time to regroup and figure out what's next up for me.

This means you may be offered a relocation option

if your director is your direct manager, then i’m sorry. if they are not, there’s a chance your direct manager is cut and you’re switching managers.

I am sorry to hear you are impacted.
MIX is a big org. Would you mind specifying what department you’re in?

Thanks

"Should we expect another wave of MIX cuts later today (i.e., invitations for tomorrow..."

I definitely think it's coming in waves or at least it feels that way. MIX is a HUGE org. It might get chaotic if everything happened all at once.

Personally I would stick to the WebEx, but you will need to give them your laptop etc. I’m sorry :(

Do I go to the meeting in person or attend via webex, which was in the invite. What would you do? I really don’t want to drive in for this humiliation and joke of a meeting.

You guys are hearing things from your VPs? They haven't told us in CCO/T-Studios jack. Radio silence for WEEKS!
