Sprint is ripping people bank accounts. If you have had them and owe them money- they are debited your cards and accounts. You might have laughed first, but they are laughing last.
Voluntary Layoffs
I hope they offer to let employees opt for voluntary layoffs.

Gearing up for the potential merger in the next coming weeks
Looks like it’s all systems go for the merger on this side with field teams changing directions for a final push this week. Still lots of uncertainty for job losses in the wake of the announcement. Still feeling pretty left in the dark about the fate... — read more
Take the layoff package! Best decision ever
For those of you still hanging on at Sprint...if you were offered and did not take the GREAT layoff package offered to folks with years of Seniority in early 2016....that was a mistake. Bad news is apparently coming. Sprint is running out of money. I... — read more
damned if we do, damned if we don't
Now that the merger is about to be canned and that Sprint has been saying it can't compete I cant help but feel there will be immediate layoffs after the merger is declined. Sprint's way of saying "I told you so" to the DoJ. In the event the merger... — read more
Get over it
If your a Sprint employee and worried about layoffs ( which has been happening since early-mid 2000) take the package and leave. I was there 12 years, took a package in January 2016. I barely looked for a job and started in March 2016. Not only was I... — read more

Will we have jobs?
The merger talks are all about tmo and how we're going to do things their way. That's normal as they're buying us, but we're moving down to just a handful of buildings in Overland Park, which means less seats - and this is just the beginning. Oh... — read more

Who else wishes we knew already?
I'd just rather know if I'm being cut right now and plan accordingly than have to stay in this limbo for months on end just stressing over what "might" happen sometime in the future. I know there are people who can just shrug it off until it actually... — read more
I hope the merger fails
Honestly, do you have any idea how bad layoffs will be when/if it goes through? Just thinking about it increases my anxiety tenfold. I can't understand how anybody - from Sprint OR T-Mobile - could be in favor of this - unless they are upper... — read more
