Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

Just want to vent a little bit.

Just want to vent a little bit so hear me out...

It’s a rough day today work-vise and all of this waiting on layoffs is making things exponentially worse. The situation within my team is so bad, some people already left on their own and pretty much everyone else is looking for work outside and moving on. The good thing is that the job market is still good but things are not as good as they were last year.

The morale cannot be lower, pretty much all people I work with have no respect for the executive mgmt at all – we’ve been lied to, deceived, moved in wrong direction and now we’ll get discarded. Looking at last four weeks, the overall experience cannot be worse. I think most people do not to work at all - but things are piling up and there is more pressure work-vise.

I feel that it’d be good if they were to pull the plug ASAP so we can all move on, it’d be liberating. I know that there are many that have kids, families, mortgage payments (I have none of it) and they may not agree with me but honestly given how much pain everyone has right now I’d think this is a silent torture.

Finally, just looking at the arrogance, incompetence, vanity and sheer stupidity at the executive level makes me want to pu-e.

I guess that’s all what I had to say, downvote if you do not like it, I know it’s not superuseful for this community, but I had to share it…

I joined post merger and never got to experience Legere. To me, it always felt like Sievert was trying way too hard to be liakable during the all hands meetings. Now it's clear he was just playing a character and the trust in him is at an all time low...

A lot of people say T-Mobile “used to be a great place to work.”

T-Mobile was always a chaotic place, but that chaos had a positive energy to it. It was a vibrant place loaded with enthusiasm. John Legere certainly had a role in that, he has that charisma. He will get on the stage and energy levels will go off the charts. What this all did was - a good number of the employees (if not all) were putting their 100% in - what's the right thing to do for T-Mobile. Was it only a persona of Legere or not, that's a separated debate, but how it uplifted the morale of an underdog company fighting for its survival against two goliaths - that's undisputed, it was there for everyone to see!

That is when "Magenta used to be a great place to work.”

“A lot of people say T-Mobile “used to be a great place to work.” When was that, exactly? Because what I’ve seen is a chaotic organization that can’t follow a single train of thought for more than six months and seems to blunder into its successes as much as anything.”

Before Freier was promoted in 2019.

"Blessed". Lol

Who actually won here? Those that got a great package, or those that have to stay and pick up the pieces?

Betrayal at its finest. What were those core values again?

All this angst and stress is so unecessary.

Some will “survive” the cut and will be blessed with much even heavier workloads.

It used to be a good place to work, but that's not the case today... Things changed forever...

Start looking and you'll see that things are good outside.
