Having worked for multiple operators and vendors during my career I found T-mobile the place where management favorite dogs are promoted the most and intelligence is generally disregarded. Is this prevalent across organization?
Common Operating Model
Engineering, ops and development reorg rolling out this week to "align" every market to the common Operating Model. As far as I can tell it's the same as the area model, just shuffled around.
I am pleased to announce...
there is a freeze on layoffs (RIF) until January 1, 2027. I repeat. there is a freeze on layoffs (RIF) until January 1, 2027. I hope this verified announcement will bring comfort to those worried about job security. Cheers for now!
Kevin Lau’s org
If you are on a legacy team under Kevin Lau, don’t be surprised if you are out of work in Q1. He will be scaling back on those teams significantly, its being discussed. Over 50 and white will be at the top of the list.
T-mobile culture going down by the year
Management promotes or prefers folks who kiss their buttocks pretty much all teams I have seen, not sure if such culture is prevalent but it has definitely detonated with time. Hope Trump can revive the job market so we can get the he-l outta this... — read more

Will you go eat another one of their bullsh-t sandwiches, where they lie and pretend that they care about you?

be ok as it will be close to the end of the best times
Yes we are near the good old end of the time. Nobody is going to buy a new phone or change a plan. As they loose their jobs lines will be cut. One line and another line will get cut. The old school land line will be back for like 25 dollars. ... — read more
super good. always fun....the teleco going to end
he have limited customers. Also people are dying from old age. this means less phone lines. We don't even use the internet often anymore. we go outside and go to work. So we will have so much fun to come. The beginning of the end.
T-Life App bypass
https://www.tmonews.com/2025/09/t-mobiles-app-policy-backfires-as-workers-fight-back-with-penny-trick/ I guess all those Indian contractors that wrote the t-life app will get a bonus. While those who work in the stores get sc--wed.
Cowboys Win = No Layoffs, Eagles Win = Layoffs
America’s Team will win!
Here we go…
Just walked out of a meeting with my manager. Huge layoff coming tomorrow. Will hit Layer 3 TV hard.
Is there anyway to learn if you're 'black balled' by the company?
I was laid off in 2023, and despite applying to several jobs I'm qualified at T-Mo, I'm not getting called back. I've written the HR rep (that I previously connected with while employed) and she is not responding. Is there anyway to learn what your... — read more
Managers
Part of being a good manager is knowing when to call it quits. Lots of these managers are just riding their time out and the problem with this is they aren't taking care of their people or making a positive impact on anything or anyone. Time to move... — read more
Prepare For September
Final rounds of layoffs and store closures will be in September. This will hit retail.
If the majority of impacted engineers are U.S. citizens and permanent residents, while H1B employees are retained and even promoted
If the majority of impacted engineers are U.S. citizens and permanent residents, while H1B employees are retained and even promoted, doesn’t that look like discrimination? the kind of story that would catch the attention of the news and even the... — read more
Frier & Katz must be starting to sweat…….
Who will be voted off the magenta island next?! Rumor mill is saying Frier announcement coming before retail season kicks off. I’m guessing Sievert is gone in January. New year and whole new senior leadership team.
Is TFB struggling?
Were they impacted by the layoffs? I thought they were doing well according to the quarterly update.
Field Operations
Plans to move Field Operations to a contracted work force by the end of 3rd quarter is in the works. Will be hard to accomplish by then so it may delayed by a few months. This may be partially the reason we seen the shift in senior leadership and no... — read more
Being laid off would be a blessing in disguise
T-Mobile is not the same company it once was and I'd be happy to be shown the door as long as they paid me in the process.
MS's Big Org Change Email
Surprise there's no post on this. Discuss.
MEGA THREAD: Upcoming layoffs
Who’s gone? What’s the package like? What news have you heard? Dates? What groups?
Layoff income 8/26
This is the big one! Be Best! Be Prepared!
Remote workers let go
Sounds like last layoff hit any fully remote worker? Did anyone survive or did they wipe that slate clean in the impacted departments? Were those affected given a relocation offer or just let go? Worried about my future with the company.
Why didn’t they offer a company-wide VSP?
Some people here mentioned that it was offered to their specific group, but I haven’t seen or heard anything beyond that. Why not sort out the numbers with a voluntary option first, and then look at cuts if needed? Wouldn’t that make things easier... — read more

How many impacted in Atlanta?
Hopefully all done by now.
VSP
Are they asking for any VSP?
‘Technology’ this week
Heard a couple of Sr. Managers gone today. Ulf’s org is the flavor of the week.
Layoffs
Not sure how deep these are, but just heard a Mgr & couple of regional guys got axed yesterday & today. Yet again slt saying "not for the foreseeable future" is more bs.
All These Layoffs and No “Whisteblower”?
Where’s “the whisteblower”? He has no comments on these IT layoffs? Not going to the local city council meetings to expose T-Mobile?
So it was only IT?
Sorry to those impacted. I hope they find good jobs soon. And for all our sakes, I really hope they don’t offshore us into oblivion.
Tmobile layoffs
It is done, or still continue next few weeks? How many impacted in Atlanta? I left T-Mobile just 2 months ago.
It's impossible to keep cutting indefinitely
It feels like almost everyone who actually does their job has already been let go. Meanwhile, the ones who barely do anything seem untouchable. It’s frustrating and makes you wonder who’s even left to cut next.
It’s About The Employees
T-Mobile has always been known as the company that shook the industry, the brand that turned customers into fans and broke the mold of what wireless could be. But when a company begins to fall, it doesn’t happen all at once—it’s in the small cracks... — read more
