So after I was laid off last year, I grew a deep seated hatred for my director and manager for my departure. My resentment knew no bounds. I cursed them everyday for sticking me in this godforsaken job market. I imagined them laughing at me and my... — read more

I'm petrified of being laid off
I dipped my toes into the job search pool and things are not just bad, but awful. I'm genuinely worried that if I'm cut, I'll either have to accept half the pay I'm getting now or just stay unemployed for who knows how long. Neither option will work... — read more
If you were laid off would you take severance or apply to another internal role?
I want to take the severance and go to another company and double dip on income
Tmo vs oracle method
Would you rather a mass email letting you know you’re laid off, or a scripted meeting from your manager or director? I honestly rather have an email at this point. Cold blooded either way, but much less awkward IMO.

The Board has decided to remove Srini as CEO!!!
April Fools!!!
T- Life has been a mess forever….
Absolutely no governance, no scope control, constantly swapping quality of releases for quantity of how much they can squeeze in. Senthil finally got a guy on his team who knew how to fix things. He documented all of the processes, identified break... — read more

The real number of layoffs in Jeff Simon's org just on 3/24 is roughly 600, not 400 as reported in other threads. But don't worry, the India build out is full steam ahead. Shamelessly, they even got rid of people who went to India to help stand up... — read more
Selection of people to be laid off is actually fascinating
They've been getting rid of the people who knew what they were doing, and consistently holding on to average performers. The remaining competent people are forced to take on most of the leftover workload, while slackers have the time of their lives... — read more

And how would I join this lucky group?
When does this stop?
The constant fear of layoffs has ruined my weekends. I'm not even happy it's Friday, since I spend the whole time dreading Monday morning. I need to know if we'll ever get back to a normal work environment without this constant stress hanging over... — read more
H1B visas
Didn't trump implement a $100,000 visa fee for existing H1B visa cousins of srini? If so, why aren't they all whacked.
Is there any hiring going on at T-Mobile right now?
I’ve been job hunting for the last 6 months and nothing solid has materialized. Even contracts are scarce in Atlanta for the dev market. I’m looking for a job and I know there’s been cuts and more work on the employees but I don’t care because I’m... — read more

entire IT department for the business side has been cut
Srini Ask me anything
I'm surprised and honestly impressed Srini is going to be taking questions from employees like that. There's some hard questions people have thumbed up and I don't think this is anything Mike S would have done and I don't think it's anything Freier... — read more

How did Data&AI fare in yesterday's layoffs?
I know Jeff was swinging the axe yesterday and some poor 400 souls got hit sadly. The real question on my mind is did he completely obliterate the Data&AI group or are they still around. I know a director was let go in January/February. I'm just... — read more
I "survived" the cuts
I'm one of the unlucky ones who's still employed by this trash company. I'm now going to have to do the work of 4 people, and I'm already DROWNING. In our dept meeting they kept saying we'll still meet our deadlines and learn how to "do more with... — read more
