Surgical layoffs coming in August after secret post-op analysis is completed of current AI and offshoring initiative. Not mass cuts but not small either. Please make sure you have 6 months of pay (gross) in a savings or money market account for your emergency fund. You have been 'WARN'ed.

@ex T-Mobile does NOT use DS0’s and copper wires; landline “boomers” have to go!
How do you think the signal gets from the radio tower to the central office? Carrier Pigeon? There may not be copper/coax anymore from the tower to the switch, but there is fiber which still requires care and feeding. And is responsible for the high speeds on TMUS network. TMUS was replacing coax with fiber close to ten years ago with 3rd party suppliers when 4G went into place and getting data speeds that VZ, ATT and PCS could only imagine.
@ar ask for a VSP
@ca you can always volunteer to leave. You can request a VSP with your leadership. It can potentially help save someone else's job.
”Big Cuts”? In my opinion, ”huge cuts” are necessary! There are rumors in the news that SpaceX may be seeking a Mobile Wireless provider. T-Mobile would be an awesome acquisition, if the books are cleaned up. Perhaps a layoff in the 15,000 to 20,000 range would be a good start. Remember, T-Mobile does NOT use DS0’s and copper wires; landline “boomers” have to go! 🚫☎️==✂️==☎️🚫✅📱📡🚀⚡🛰️🌕👽📱

The layoffs will continue until AI improves, then we’ll lay off some more.
Lori Ames needs to go!
Please let the layoffs hit Micro hard. I hate it here
@aw Read the severance package document. It's in there. Basically you accept their terms, & you get the money. Do anything prohibited by the terms (like sue for wrongful termination) and they'll come after you for the severance.
for the love of god, please be me...
Thanks for the warning! Anyone know if you have to accept the severance package to get the pay out? If you do accept, can you still sue for wrongful termination if they backfill your position? Appreciate any advice.
Thanks for the warning. All groups?
Puck me pick me. Pretty please
