#discussion

Heard from a buddy in M&A that this is being discussed.

I have knowledge that in the midst of 200 stores being converted you will see the r2b space dissolved. I was in discussion that split compensation is a waste of money and that with the stores going indirect the biz customers who come in store will be directly called from a inside sales rep when they sign in, and converted with in store pickup. B2B space is safe and CE. Wish you R2B REPS LUCK!

Wish I could do a legit poll but I'll just ask. Are you worried/nervous because?

A. The company doesn't care and is just cutting anyone.
B. Im just not that busy so I can see why it would be me.
C. Leadership isnt communicating clearly on this RIF
D. Other

Is it time for T-Mobile to unionize? The leaders of the company clearly don’t care about the employees.

Unionizing could slow down and complicate the process of mass tech company layoffs by introducing legal and financial barriers through collective bargaining agreements.

CWA & IBEW both have telecom representation.

With Cali layoffs of 175/2300 (7.5%) , what percentage of layoffs are done? Give the anecdotal numbers and let's estimate

I see that there are planned layoffs in March and June, although I wonder if the source is one post on blind which might or might not be true. Either way it would help to evaluate what % is laid off? Cali laid of 175/2300 which is close to 10% budget as Cali is expensive? Post your % numbers based on anecdotal evidence

Will Repsol decision to merge with an unreputable company like APA Apache be a good or bad decision? Will it create or destroy jobs?

I know RIF casualties are supposed to get a few weeks of medical coverage after we depart, but assuming you don’t quickly find another job, what’s your plan for medical coverage? ACA? COBRA? Private plan?

Sampath or Stratton? Who do you think makes more sense and why?

I was hired about two years ago so I only know the cultural under this CEO and CEO leadership. Honest question for those who have been here for a decade or so - how does this culture compare to prior CEOs and leadership team? Better? worse? If different, then how?

Anyone have any idea what's going to happen in GNT, specifically in the RF, System Performance, Equipment Engineering, Construction Engineering, Real Estate and Network Assurance groups? Dan says we must continue to have a good network but these teams are already stretched to the max.

As chairman of Frontier.. does John Stratton come back?

Maybe Mike Lanman and George Fischer weren’t also so bad; compared to what we had the last decade?

Remember when the 10 points of the Credo were stuck on every wall, printed and stuck on every desk.

If you were told you “can” WFM…. Is that a good or bad thing??!!

Dishonesty and corporate greed?

Seems Alaska wasn’t hit as hard as other places.

Are they going to layoff first then re-org at a later time? Or is everything happening simultaneously?

It really could have been worse when you think about the numbers people were throwing around earlier, because there were plenty of conversations where folks talked about 20,000 cuts or even 29,000. I guess that makes 15,000 feel almost like the least awful version of the situation. Still bad, though.

Hi, Verizon employee here. I have heard that many former Verizon employees went to T-Mo. If you are one of them, can you provide some insight into the similarities and differences? Not asking for specifics, just generalizations. Curious about how different we all are. I am former ATT and found both ATT and VZ to be pretty similar

Very vague/confusing meeting name said (Option 3 at the end), so I'm guessing it's not good news.

This page intentionally left blank

I have a hard time to believe that.

I’ve heard that conversations are happening to reinstate a return to office for the entire work-week as opposed to the current 3-day requirement. Does anybody have any additional intel to confirm or deny this is on the table?

I feel like the open seating setup is not ideal due to noise, lack of routine, etc and having everybody in the office is going to make it that much more difficult to be productive. At least give us a cube so teams can sit together and you know where to find someone as opposed to walking around aimlessly.

Bottom line though - so many of us would still be on zoom sessions for most meetings so a full return to office just isn’t needed to increase productivity and relationships. Leave it where it is and allow us to be adults - if we need the face time, we go in. If not, then we don’t.

Go check it out. They are talking about us. And not in a bad way.

What in tarnations is this company doing using Rootin and tootin as a title for anything? - Yosemite Sam

What is Xerox even doing with CareAR at this point? I thought I heard rumor of an acquisition that never happened?

Has anyone from France been affected by the layoffs?

Joke that Cisco will excel based on current quarter. The bubble will come down in no time

Hi, I work almost 100% from home now. So, very little interaction with folks in the QP office.

Does any one know anyone who was let go since the big announcement? I haven’t heard of anyone getting fired or quitting in my close circle YET

What a waste already. Still no concrete details because they are still trying to figure it all out.

Wasn't able to join, but saw the slack thread and didn't see much on there about what actually happened

Synopsis: “Mark, how can I drink water like you do on CNBC?”

Do I even need to say it

Let’s guess what STI will be. I’m guessing 70%

WTF was that? Ridiculous

With the new Optum image on all Uhc emails and the active engagement of the Optum board, it’s clear that we’re aligning as one cohesive unit. It makes sense for us to follow the guidance of the Optum board moving forward? Just questions?

Let’s start this thread for further discussions, cheers

Only he could bring back the glory…
