The company could save so much more money if it streamlined the majority of processes and started listening to those of us who do the real work (as opposed to the PowerPoint posse). Layoffs save some money but we also lose too much knowledge and experience, which always comes back to bite us in the a-s. There are easier ways to save money, but I guess the results are not instantaneous, and that's what they want, even if it's only temporary.

100% - Though, newly corrupted leaders need to stay corrupt. That means getting rid of the tenured employees that have influence on the organization. Sit down and shut up is the new model for t-mobile.
I hear word that they're thinking about cranking up fees too, all for that sweet sweet bottom line.
This makes too much sense. Of course they’re going to lay off the best.
And even if you want to stay in Seattle, Amazon is hiring anyone with a pulse, in order to fill the new office space they're consuming like the blob they are.
Theres no reason to remain in Seattle. I imagine that everyone not in the C level suite would be happier to actually afford a good place to live on the wages they are paid.
You all talkabout buildings and location...
Just fire Mike. Fire him with shame, so the next ceo will be knowing better what not to do.
- Preylock of Los Angles paid $467.5 million for the T-mobile Factoria location in 2019 from Ivanhoe Cambridge, a Canadian company. They should leave the Seattle metro for a lower-cost city with better universities.
- Don't know what group you're talking about, the infrastructure teams are solid.
- Now that the networks are one, its time for facilities look into selling those soon-to-be-empty Ddata centers (including the T-Vision one)
- AAA doesn't own Factoria.
- For some unknown reason, T-Mobile decided that the best thing to do was to was to take on the failed processes from Sprint rather than keep the processes that are working that are working with T-Mobile.
- With legacy CDMA and Sprint LTE Sprint now shut down, the layoffs can continue in earnest of all of the support people who supported these 2 Legacy Sprint solutions.
If they really wanted to save money, they should move out of the Factoria office buildings they rent from AAA.
What people aren’t realizing or not wanting to accept is that these layoffs are NOT just about the money. A lot of this has been part of the plan to eliminate the tenured leaders who knew the company (and to an extent sprint as well) in its prime and eventually replace with new employees who can’t reminisce about the good old days. what’s worse is its not close to being over. expect layoffs to continue into summer 2023
T mobile passed the point of needing to cut cost. It is now desperately needing to find its worth. And no money can buy it.
