T-Mobile has become everything they said they weren’t, yet continue to say they are… the past 10 years of cheerleading and creating the T-Mobile cult has only set up leaders as royalty… laying people and teams off in waves and Mister Sieverts disingenuous “email / press release” of we feel bad but…is just plain cruel. How is it that the leaders are left intact, more than a few bad actors from product to engineering to marketing to strategy? It has been their bad decisions and huge lack of vision that have resulted in T-Mobile being in this awful situation. That is where the “cleaning” needs to happen, not at the levels where the work gets done. Good riddance, there are better places to be….

Idk, I've made it through the trenches of many Sprint layoffs. This is not shocking to me. I have also saved and prepared for years. I used to be a respected, valued employee on the Sprint side, until the merger stripped me of my network and my unique responsibilities and made me a cog in thy system. I know I have nothing as essential that I'm responsible for and it is truly likely my time.
The hardest part to swallow is the idea of culture they blow up our a$$es. We are "one team" when the kool-aid has only tasted very berry for years.
I'm grateful for having a job through the pandemic, and hope that I find a new job and team that finds my talents useful and respects me again.
Magenta leaders, you tapped danced and put on a happy family show...but we knew we were the blond headed stepchildren that weren't welcomed here.
Yea 5 weeks of uncertainty is ki-ler. The mood at the offices are gloomy and somber. Trying to get stuff done as BAU is a joke. Why would anyone work when you could potentially be on the chopping block? In the meantime I’m just trying to keep distracted and focus on family, friends, and working out. It’s gonna be a long season of survivor, and September is still a few days away :(
This week by week BS is torture. What kind of monster thought this sh-t up? "Hey guys, over the next 5 weeks you may have to go home and tell your loved ones that you've lost your job and your lives are going to drastically change for the foreseeable future....But then again, you might not. We'll just have to wait and see....Tune in next week".
You have to lay off the peasants before you can dethrone the royalty.
Many leaders will be let go. Just not at the EVP or C levels, beyond the few who have already left to "retire".
STFU and get back to work.
It's deciding what work really needs to be done that matters. People constantly improve processes and functions that shouldn't have been made in the first place,
