I don’t know why many say they would like to be laid off. Many have lost the motivation to work here and I can understand that but still... I would prefer to leave when I'm ready and I am a little anxious about who will be the target group.
Does anyone know who the target groups will be this time?
The target group they are going after? WIRELINE! Senior Management Team does not understand selling in the enterprise space, and they don't understand how enterprise customers can be "anchored down" to a carrier by having a Wireline network with them. With number portability nowadays, I can be on a T-Mobile SIM in my phone today, and a competitor's SIM tomorrow. In wireline networks, that anchor now allows the Wireline account team to intorduce follow-on sales of other products by basing the discounts on the new products on the the existing business revenue. Customer then sees that they are getting a great deal on their mobile because they are a long-term customer. The SMT here does not see the benefit of a Wireline network that their competitors (who Mike S arrogantly and shortsightedly always refers to as "D-mb and D-mber") see, because Verison and ATT are both heavily invested in the Wireline space. With the layoff of the Wireline division, T-Mobile is going to be giving away BIG data networks like UPS to their competition. Extremely shortsighted, but of course, this is coming from a company that is only used to selling 2 phones at a time, not 2,000 phones to a medium enterprise account. Oh, and the security breaches on the T-Mobile management network has caused the enterprise accounts to say that T-Mobile mobile service is a risk to corporate security. Mike S, maybe you should have kept the highly successful internal security people and products that were on the Sprint network, used on the corporate network some of the security products Sprint was selling to customers, and the BIG accounts might not turn up their noses at T-Mobile cell service.
They’re not coming after you. There’s common sense changes that need to be made. If that impacts you, you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think the changes are getting better after a tough two years.
An entire company besieged by Stockholm Syndrome. My Master Plan is working!
Please don't be afraid and paranoid but they are coming after you.
Hostage.
