I mean, I'm being sarcastic. But not really. And these are coming after considerable reductions. I was hoping, naively, that we might get some respite. Foolish.
We can't lose anybody
We're already handling too much work, and now we're to lose more people next week? Are you kidding me? What's wrong with people running this place? Can we get them to do our jobs just for a week, just so they can see how bad things already are? We... — read more

Director+ severance
The internal severance document only applies to Sr. Manager and below. What’s the severance package for Directors and above?
Did just EUS get hit today?
Any other orgs?
Layoffs today
Has anybody heard about layoffs earlier today?
Happy T-Mobile Tuesday everybody!
Former TMO here who wanted to leave this tip: Check your Workday Documents to see if you still have a future with big Pink. Happy New Year!
It’s Tuesday tomorrow… aka RIF Day
Layoffs are often announced on Tuesdays. Let’s see which org is up.
It's been a year since my layoff
I was laid off from TMUS a year ago. I was there a long time, since before Sprint. The company changed, it no longer supports the needs of the many, only the few. If you are on this board and still employed by T-Mobile, you are stressed about losing... — read more
Can you not scare people for no reason?
Please? Yes, more layoffs are coming. No, layoffs have not started today. They probably won't for weeks. What do you get from scaring people for no reason?
RIF’s/Layoffs starting today
“HAPPY” New Year… or not, we will see. With the holidays wrapping up, it seems inevitable that all of the layoffs and reductions will start ramping up now seeing that all of the decision makers are back at work after the holiday. Any ideas what... — read more
Promotions happening now?
Seeing multiple Sr. Director promotions on LinkedIn. They just let go a bunch on them recently. What’s happening?! Getting rid of high-salary positions and promoting at lower salaries?
Manager, Director, VP laid off. Who will decide which ICs to get rid off?
I guess the Directors usually decide who is to be cut from the team. But in my case, my manager, director and VP were all let go recently. There is no one to vouch for my performance. We keep saying that layoffs are not performance-related, but the... — read more
Happy New Year to Everyone!
Except for Sheety, Jon Freier, Mike Katz, Jeff Simon, and Deanne.
Big companies aren’t making plans to hire in 2026: ‘Everybody’s afraid for their jobs’

Burned out and stuck
I’m exhausted and nowhere near retirement. Leaving feels impossible after investing this much time, but staying isn’t easy either. Sometimes I wish the decision would just be made for me.
Ranker & using a system as a metric
Timo was the only company that I know that put using a system as a metric. Like the new T-life system, employees are expected to use T-life with every customers upgrades. There was an instant recently, where ann Employee went to a store to do an... — read more

TMOBILE Layoffs 2026
Do you predict that there will be TMOBILE layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
I intend to enjoy the holidays
For once, I’ll treat myself to complete detachment from work. I’m not going to think about it, I’m not going to get anxious about what might happen next, and I’m definitely not going to get wrapped up in the idea of possibly losing my job. I’ll spend... — read more
Metro on thin ice....
Yesterday, leadership stated that individual contributors will remain the primary model moving forward, and the entire organizational hierarchy is under review. There's talk from the C-suite about increasing the number of doors per RDM to between 20... — read more
Call Center (Customer Experience Center) Impacts?
Hi gang - question for those who may know or who may have heard anything…. What are the impacts looking like for internal US base call centers? I have heard they want to close or consolidate OFFSHORE/GLOBAL CENTERS, but have not heard anything here... — read more
Rumor of two rounds of cuts in January, 2026
A round focused on middle management and across the organization. Srini/CEO did imply things would settle down by March, 2026.
RF/RNEO - What’s next?
What’s next for us? Already down to two huge regions. Will it trickle down to ICs?
Sr mgrs next?
Anyone hear that senior managers are targeted for January? What orgs and what criteria?
Fake news
Notice how @OP starts most these threads?
The Sprint doom-loop
I have said it before and I will say it again, anything that Sprint touches fails in the end. Look out T-Mobile legacy employees... I give you 5 more years before Sprint pulls T-Mobile USA into bankruptcy. Sprint and everything Sprint was and is... — read more
Liars typically fail up!
Srini?
Don't take on more work
Don't do them any favors. Please. Don't do the work left behind by those who were kicked out. The leadership wants you to do it. They want to see all the work getting done with fewer people so they can say, see, we were right to cut those employees... — read more
The day Jennifer retired, the building felt staged
Friday afternoon brought the usual choreography. A polite email chain. A cake that looked like it came from the same vendor everyone uses when they want to appear thoughtful without actually being thoughtful. Handshakes, laughter that arrived a half... — read more
No peace of mind till the second half of January, then?
God knows how many jobs will be wiped out by the coming major reorg. This holiday season will be miserable for everyone, both those already laid off, and the rest of us stuck in a limbo. The economy is terrible, inflation keeps eating away at... — read more
Severance
So this is just classic. They laid a ton of people off and the system that we are all supposed to log into to review our severance and search for jobs isn’t working. I personally know over 35 people that aren’t able to login. We all just keep getting... — read more
Any new details in Freier Q&A in OP?
They had a 30 minute extra Q&A after the AEM about the future of the OP campus. Anyone hear anything new about that?
Everyone should start looking for a job right now
Srini made it clear that a massive layoff is coming in Q1. There is no respect for any of us. I’d be willing to bet that the layoff will happen before the end of February to avoid a bonus or stock payout. Update your resumes start looking now and go... — read more
Layoff notification method
Can someone explain how the notifications were handled? I’m hearing all kinds of different stories. Was it individual calls, a group meeting, or something else entirely? My team was spared and I'm still new here, so I don't know from experience how... — read more
