T-Mobile USA Chief Executive Philipp Humm warned employees a few months ago that more layoffs would happen by the end of May. It's happening right on schedule.
Today, the company is informing employees of "a series of organizational changes," a spokeswoman said.
A net loss of about 900 jobs will result. But even more jobs are likely affected by the changes, which include layoffs and shifts to outsource more work.
(Update: The day after the layoff announcement, the company said hiring planned through the rest of the year will offset some of the cuts.)
These layoffs are a major blow to the largest remaining wireless company in the Seattle area after a series of mergers over the last two decades.
