Has Sprint tried to cheat anyone else out of their 2015 STI?
Discover
We all know they will not be making a commercial like Discover saying all calls are handled in the US - Sprint is going to sink I am sorry to say
Denver, Rio Rancho, Hampton, Temple, Overland Park and Blountville (Call Centers)
Call centers in Denver, Rio Rancho, Hampton, Temple, Overland Park and Blountville all announced closures for internal care centers.
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... — read more
I've been outsourced then rebadged.
18 years at Sprint and I've seen a lot. From the failed WorldCom merger to the failed ION product to the outsourcing nightmare with IBM to the Nextel deal and pretty much takeover. I've been outsourced then rebadged. I've been given salary increases... — read more
I think Nextel deal did this mess. Sprint was doing well till then. but competing with Verizon and ATT is not fun.
Does anyone know how many IT ppl affected in Overland Park ?
Good Luck Today
Here's to hoping all you old timers get laid off today and full severance - you if anyone deserve your full year of pay - the others your time will come but will lesser benefits - sorry about that
I got my "pound of flesh" from Sprint
More than 30 years with Sprint Business; joined back in the GTE-Sprint days AND got a pension (two actually; one with GTE and one with Sprint). Read that again: I GOT A PENSION from Sprint! Yeah. And they contributed dollar:dollar much of the time... — read more
Sprint to Cut 2,500 Jobs or 7% of Staff
Sprint dropped 12 percent at the close in New York, to eliminate up to $2.5 billion of costs from their business.
Stock prices
Still not worth the paper they are printed on - I for one would sure like to dump what i have left. I would also like whatever drug Claure takes - if it were the truth all these layoffs would not be in the works. I also add customer service has taken... — read more
Sprint Channel Support
Layoffs took place two weeks ago, nobody reported it - over 20 people were let go (that's all what I know, may be more than 20, my girlfriend was laid off)
Management: Good luck with Retention without our Call Center Folks
Management: Good luck with Retention without our Call Center Folks - Let's see how well you handle that MetroPCS attack and how T-Mobile handles that huge attack on our customer base - how smart, how smart - bro go back to Brazil and sell f---ing... — read more

Anyone can confirm?
Massive Spring Layoffs 2016 - Six Call Centers, 2000 layoffs
Six call centers, 2000 employees. But it was OK for the higher ups to spend $600k on one special office for "snacks" (it wasn't snacks). More @FzFfPSr
Shit just hit the fan
I'm a sprint call center employee and was just given word that my call center's being closed.
Anyone
Just curious if anyone has heard anything in regards to their groups and layoffs? I have not heard anything in my group - just rumors - you can get the tension with a knive some days
Bristol's Babies
We are praying Bristol! We only have rumors and management claim they don't know anything. Only few in the building can even approve a credit. Some can't even submit one. Unsure if it's a part of propaganda scare tactics or a sign of the beginning of... — read more
Sprint Town Hall - Questions you really want to ask!
Let's post questions for Marcelo here
Who Knows? When are the Sprint layoffs coming?
Claure 'clearly' said he planned to announce the job cuts before Jan 30 2016. WHEN?
Cleanup Needed
Sprint is the network for losers by losers. Sprint is deal last in all that is does since it's conception back in 1987. Sprints MGT and corporate sales force all work from home goofing off all day all day and have no idea what work is. Sprint's... — read more
Sprint Executive Cleans Up on Stock. 10 Million Shares of Stock for $0 purchase price. How many employees got stock for free?
Go to Yahoo and click on Finance. Put in the ticker symbol for Sprint - 'S'. When the page loads, on the left hand side, click on INSIDER TRANSACTIONS. Then scroll down to see what the executives are doing with their stock.... like the 10million... — read more
Executives and Directors pull in the cash and bonuses. Employees get screwed over.
It started when Sprint bought Nextel. Directors and executives pulled in special payments and bonuses. The merger threw the stock in the toilet and the cash outlay to make the Nextel network actually work started the downturn of a once proud and... — read more
Had over 30 years of service and got the boot last layoff round.
If you can find another job do it now before they put you out to the curb. The company will be totally outsourced at one point expect Marcelo and his chosen team will continue to rack in millions. They had the nerve to send out retirement information... — read more

Job
I work for Sprint and I am trying to do an outstanding job. Every day. This paycheck supports my son and I. There are a lot of people that do a great job and take care of their families with this company. I hope I get to keep my job.
Failed IT Projects
New Sprint mantra, spending on customized information technology projects is “unsustainable" - OK, the CIO is untouchable
I've been here since the 1990s and I'm looking at getting the boot.
This management in particular doesn't give a damn about the rank and file employee. Lot cheaper to kick me to the curb now and either move people around, outsource, or hire some amateur off the street. Marcelo is just the latest in a long line of... — read more
FYI - Marcelo did not provide specific numbers or locations
Atlanta was on Thur Nov 11/4 . I don't know what will happen, if anything, in Bristol. Marcelo gave no specific numbers or locations.
Sprint chairman says layoffs will be ‘in the thousands’ - Masayoshi Son, Sprint chairman (leads Tokyo-based SoftBank Group Corp.)
http://www.kansascity.com/news/business/technology/article42939879.html
This is accurate information. I saw Marcelo's Town Hall yesterday.
He openly acknowledged layoffs in the thousands and specifically referenced Care and Sales. He wants to digitization and simplify the company.
Retail and Call Centers are still hiring.
Been here since the Nextel days. I survived the Sprint merger. I have survived several layoffs. In 2009, I got outsourced and am now a contractor working the Sprint account. I will 'assume' I am safe since there are only 2 of us at my work site. So... — read more
