Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

That should have been the statement they read before Congress and the FCC. Still can't believe there were no repercussions for lying.

Thanks for explaining the obvious. No one thinks layoffs aren’t part of a merger. Everyone assumes layoffs are going to happen EXCEPT when the execs go on record time and time and time again promising under oath at congressional hearings and before the DOJ and in press releases that “no jobs will be cut as a result of this merger” and it will be “jobs positive from day one”.
What we didn’t expect were the bold blatant lies, for the execs that claim they value their employees above all, to turn out to be hypocrites on a level that puts “carrier” execs to shame.
At least AT&T and VZW don’t go to extremes to pretend to be something they’re not.

Except, the promise was that this merger would be job positive!

No call centers were closed. Don’t lie.

At least now everyone knows what TOTAL FRAUDS these people are!! Mike Sievert and his entire "leadership" team should face criminal charges.

I saw the interview where Seivert said this was the first layoff after the merger. There has been layoffs at T-Mobile almost every 6 months since the merger. There was a large one in Engineering last year. In June of this year, they closed down a bunch of call centers. They will continue to do layoffs. If this were the first one I could see the posters viewpoint, but it is not

Everyone laid off in our group was not redundant. Sprint had no in house FOPs team.

Agree with the anti-remote comment above. I get it if they want everyone back in the office but there were a LOT of us that were legacy remote with exceptions, special circumstances WAY before COVID but there was no consideration taken to that. They just used a broad brush stroke and wiped us off the TMO map.

lol did you not get enough attention in the other thread?

I think most people are aware of what happens in mergers. The problems most people have are the false promises made by Legere to get the merger to go through (and the fact that T-Mobile will not be held responsible for the lies), the vaccine mandate, the anti-remote work sentiment that the SLT has (even for people that were remote before Covid), the fact that it has not been just redundant or unneeded positions that were eliminated (just pile the extra work on those left-another recent promise that was broken), the fact that there really was no methodology to who they laid off (very inconsistent) and the fact that most if not all of the current SLT are just plain fake and unlikeable. Oh, and lets not forget all this fake, virtue signaling DE&I BS.

Well said. What’s made this merger so painful is that former CEOs made pretty bold jobs claims, in clear terms, and that didn’t come true. They got the deal done, got paid, and got out.
