I know the goal is 1,200, do we know yet how close we are to that number?
Common Cause
The only common cause identified in this Thanos finger snap round of layoffs is proximity to management. If you weren’t seeing your direct manager in an office setting, you were affected. It seems that TMO and MS not only want you in an office, but... — read more
There'll be more before the week is done
Don't think you're safe just yet.
They don't care about employees OR customers
The more employees T-Mobile outsources, the worse customer service becomes. Just go and read the usual customer sites and see what's the most common complaint and what's costing us the most subscribers. The ELT doesn't give a damn, though. As long as... — read more
MS is a weasel
He was totally dismissive about a layoff question at the town hall a few days ago knowing full well what was to go down this week. What a horrible human being. Sociopath narcissist 100%
After the dust settles......
All TMUS employees will be walking on eggshells, wondering if they will be next. That is a very toxic environment to work in.
You do not have a career at T-Mobile
It's a short-term, transactional relationship. Message received, loud and clear.
This year's massive numbers reduction is likely the new norm for a while.
Do not be surprised if this year's layoffs and the way they are laying people off continues for the next couple of years. T-Mo is going to make massive reductions in US-based workforces, especially with the Starlink "Zero-G" nonsense they're starting... — read more
Please, those who were laid off - re-apply for employment at TMUS immediately
Yes, you have recall rights. You may even get hired back on before your last day on payroll!
For once, they laid off people who deserved it
I know this is probably not the case company-wide, but it is for us. Two people were cut from my team so far, and I'll be honest with you, they needed to go. The rest of us were pulling more than our fair share of work to make up for their laziness... — read more
While layoffs are happening...
... the HR Chief is sending celebratory employee work anniversary tweets. She is doing this TODAY, and earlier this week. See for yourself before she deletes them. https://twitter.com/deeanneking Integrity 365. Doing things the right way- always... — read more
What's getting hit today?
I'm betting it started already in some areas. Please share if your team is among those being hit so we can know what's going on. Since we can expect no official word, this is the only way for us to stay fully informed on what's happening throughout... — read more
Here’s the deal RNE&O…
This is what I heard from a friend who is close with a VP as well as others. We’ve all seen it happening at this point but here’s the bullets: 5-12% of all of RNE&O will be laid off Mainly at the RVPs discretion Sprint, NOC, and National are... — read more
This is the coldest layoff I've ever seen
Trust me, I was with Nortel during the 10 long hellish years between 2000-2010 when they averaged laying off 100 people per month. This layoff was colder than anything I've ever witnessed, and this, coming from a company who frames themselves as... — read more
Field Tech of 5 years laid off
I was called in to our main office for a "skip level meeting" on 8/30 only to find out it was me meeting with management to be laid off. Our market just hired 8 new field techs less than a year ago, half with little to no experience plus a contractor... — read more
NTAC Engineers
has anyone heard if impact on NTAC teams ?
Solutions engineer here, I just got laid off before I clocked out!
Solutions Engineer here, I worked the full day and before I was leaving today I was invited to meet with my manager, they let me know that I was being laid off. I asked why they would do this to me as I recently got promoted and had been performing... — read more
Severance package? Someone?
I've heard rumors that 2 weeks for every year service up to 3 mos total. Anyone confirm?
Nationwide Field and Switch Operations
Field and Switch operations will be hit this week; Thursday and Friday. They will be facing at least 25% cuts across the board. TMO will continue to phase out these positions with the addition of contractors and overseas workers.
Super Bummed I was not laid off
I've asked at least a half dozen times this year to be laid off if there was lay offs and I got passed over again. The reason I didn't just leave is I would receive over $100K in a layoff package (incentive to stick it out through the... — read more
T-Mobile : Software Engineer of 6 years laid off today
I was just laid off and the director did not give any reasons why. The whole meeting lasted for 8 minutes and he was explicit in telling me that this had nothing to do with performance. If you’re an engineer, now is the best time to start making... — read more
The criteria for layoffs
I hear that some excellent employees have lost their jobs, who have subordinated their private lives to this company. Shame! Cutting the best people will inevitably have a negative impact on customers, but ultimately on the company as well. I still... — read more
Why do we always have layoffs in August?
Why not March? Or Feb? Honestly, they (sr execs) can be a bit more original. This is sad and sick, people are anxious and they do it every year. It's OK for them, go buy that extra Aston Martin and another lake house. Disgusting!

Sprint & Metro + Grant's QA
Ops mid level managers got cut left and right . Many impacted from Sprint and even Metro. ICs are let go today. Grant’s QA is also impacted today.
Any specifics as to work groups let go?
Looking for info for family members who may have been affected by today's mass layoff. Any specific groups entirely laid off? Are they focusing on Former Sprint staff or is it across the board?
T-Mobile is making the cuts we were all expecting after Sprint merger
Yep, we are all ICs and 1st level managers cut from ATS. Mostly former Sprint folks are gone!
Massive cuts today! Were you hit?
I’m seeing a lot of coworkers saying they were cut today. It’s horrible and sad! My boss is 14 years is packing up his stuff crying, why do the good ones get let go? Were you hit?
Where is the press on this?
With all the cuts nationwide why aren't we seeing more press coverage on this? I know T-Mo is doing this strategically to avoid WARN notifications, but this is still far more than just a few redundancies here.
Any other orgs planned for future cut?
I see TSDO and ATS got affected. Any plans for other orgs getting major cut?
How does Tuesday look on layoffs?
Should we be worried about more unexpected cuts?
Any tips on what to do and expect as someone who is laid off? Severance, etc.
Any tips on what to do and how to prepare and make sure that we get the benefits and guarantees as promised? Anything that we should NOT do? Any input is welcome, thanks!
Notifications
How are folks being notified if they're being let go? Asking for a friend 🙄
Laid off today, TSDO
Cuts happening in TSDO right now. Seeming no method or reason to who is being let go.
Cut...
I got the axe on 08/25/2022. How much do you think data breach settlement have to do with this. Either way, I got it as well as my immediate manager from ETS. Looks like if you worked from home that was really frowned upon. The requirements for... — read more
Is Monday the 29th the day?
Mucho rumors Friday about managers getting their RIF lists Monday. I’m tired of all the uncertainty. Just layoff everyone you need at one time and get it over with. It’s not the end of the world bout I need some stability so I can plan for my family... — read more
