Thread regarding Sprint layoffs

It wasn't so much getting laid off, it was the way it was DONE.

After over 20 years of dedication, blood, sweat and tears, I put Sprint before everything in my life (big mistake), bad health from stress over my job, overworked, anxiety attacks, depression. I was actually relieved to get my layoff notice this week for the 2 week’s severance, plus the $1,000. A leap of faith. I receive health benefits as well which I need desperately. It wasn't so much getting laid off, it was the way it was DONE.

Very cold, impersonal, reading from a script as if I was a robot. They laid off the best of the best because of our salaries (old timers) and kept the dead beats. The bureaucratic BS is over with, no more dealing with the favoritism, giving high profile work and then taking it away only to give to the favorite ones.

The disrespect, incompetent management who have no clue what talent they have on their teams. Incompetent supv's and managers who have no idea what they are doing harming this company. It is not going to get any better this year for Sprint. Marcelo needs a reality check. Angry? Oh heck yes! I've given many years to this company only to be treated like crap at the end. Didn’t expect roses or anything, but sure didn’t expect to be treated like I was hired yesterday. I was notified one hour before my log in was deactivated, didn't even get a chance to say good-bye to those I've worked with for a long time. I feel bad for those who did not get laid off, get your resumes brushed off and start looking now!

You WILL be impacted in a few months anyway. Sprint will not be a company next year at this rate. Executive salaries are absolutely ridiculous. How about giving up some of that cheddar yourself Marcelo if you really care about Sprint!! Looking forward to that next open door and doing great things! If not, heck, living in my car is better than dealing with the corporate BS I’ve had to deal with for many years.

If you are still there, they really do not care about you at all. Good bye Sprint! Hope you go down in flames for what you’ve done to us!

Although oyou may not see it, you are the lucky one for no longer working there. Also lucky that they provided you the 2 weeks instead of 1 as they changed the package deal. I voluntary left after 8 years and I have been beyond happy about my decision. I also am receiving the 2 weeks servence deal. It is the least they could do for employees. Sprint will never succeed because they do not value the most important element to their company : the employees. Hold your head high and be thankful they let you go. It is a huge blessing.

You will look back at this and thank your lucky stars you are not one of the fools left - you also did get the 2 week package which I thought they did away with. Marcello does not have a clue - he keeps hire exec and everyone knows they do not do any work. Outsourcing information that should not be outsourced is happening. Best day of my life is when they let me go in 2015. Been gone a year now and wow what a difference in my life.

I have seen so many people posting in this thread about this. I am so glad I got out of corporate America when I did. I'm offering an opportunity to anyone who is interested for part-time positions with the firm I work with. Send me an email and we can talk more: mconsunji.php@gmail.com

At least you're getting severance. Some of us were forced to work obscene hours, harassed, abused, job mobbed, bad politics and left from burn-out and stress. Funny, I use to think the remaining people were the dead-beats and do-nothings. Yes, Sprint is crap. Now you know.
