So we have meetings where Simple Simon tells us we need more cyber resources. And then he cuts cyber resources. Brilliant.

Anything in queue to vest they'll usually make it vest. Obviously the next round one would have received they won't get.

"All stocks paid out"

Does that mean ESPP or RSU? I know you get your ESPP money back but are they vesting all RSUs?

"14 weeks? T-Nation says 8 weeks plus 2 weeks for every year. Would you mind clarifying if it had changed to 14 weeks?"

It's 8 weeks plus 2 weeks for every year. Capped at 26 weeks. The poster either doesn't know what they are talking about or they are referring to what the specific individual got which would be for a 3 year employee (8 weeks + 6 weeks for 3 years of service=14 weeks

Your direct manager will only know after you are let go. The meeting will come from your director.
All stocks paid out
You get paid till November 2 plus 14 weeks

5 weeks to sit and wait around is the sh-t part of the equation... To make people just wait in hopes they leave so you don't have to pay out the severance package is actually insane very New T-Mobile.

Financial tricks related to the merger end this year so it is no surprise of big cuts now. TMO always strives to max the financial benefit.

Read my lips: No more layoffs.

But all you people do is complain, so quit! Or STFU.

Mike Sievert sent that email. Don't forget he's nothing more than a salesman trying to sell you some comfort. He's liar. Believe nothing he says until it materializes. Only then can parts of what he says can be true and watch how he says things... They don't envision making additional large-scale reductions. What that means is that there will be more "smaller" reductions and could be more large-scale reductions because things change. So he basically said nothing different than what we already know... He's a con man.

A quick Google search indicates Bellevue HQ has a little over 6k employees and OP has about 5k. This layoff is the equivalent of getting rid of one of the HQs. That's very significant.

Yea but also in the next paragraph it states "at the same time we'll also be decreasing out reliance and spend on external workers and resources"

This means contactors/consultants. So the overall will be more than 5k.
