Chart of Revenue (Quarterly YoY growth) https://www.zacks.com/stock/chart/TMUS/fundamental/revenue-quarterly-yoy-growth Budget cuts and layoffs will continue. Anticipate it.
Around the Farm
Ulf is like a farmer who is blaming his plow horse because his product isn't profitable. Everyone out here working and he is just shooting them. Which is the bigger problem promises to keep prices low/competitive lawsuit or promises to create MORE... — read more
Bring it on
Whatever is going to happen with the changes, bring it on! Starting to get old and is keeping the company and individuals from moving on. We all know TMO-US is not the same company and employees are dissatisfied.
alumni discount or port out after laid off?
Alumni discount denied for my lines after being laid off. They make you wait a few months before the discount is said to be effective, then the errors start, "maybe next month", then eventually, "plan isn't compatible with alumni discount". Dealing... — read more
Enjoy your weekend
Enjoy the weekend while you're still employed. After the SVP change, reorg talks are ongoing. They will be shared amongst leadership Monday, and implemented Tuesday. May the odds be forever in your favor.
Any News for Care?
Has there been talks or concerns with consumer care? Or CEC potential impacts?
Naming Orgs
When posting, can we clarify what orgs we are talking about? The company has so many different layers and when someone says “ops” this can refer to retail ops, care ops, engineering, marketing, etc. Thanks!
Leadership change
Lots of people are happy about the leadership change, not sure it will help. Remember Jennifer is from the Central region. This is the same leadership team she selected that let the train go off the track. Not much is going to change, cuts are on... — read more
Just going to leave this here.
https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/delivering-on-promises-metropcs# I am one of the last remaining metropcs employees left in magenta. Sad really.
Where is my SVP??
Announcement coming on Ulf's org later today... is the axe coming around big time again?
Hometown experts
Hello, I wanted to ask who used to head the hometown experts that were rural business reps? I heard that division was ended and they went to AE's. Was it Jon Frier and Matt Haven?
Ridiculous customer service
I've tried for days to get a US representative and all I keep getting is people in other countries that I can't understand! Let alone them understand the problem
Can they even lay anymore off?
Can the company even afford to lay people off anymore. It seems we're consistently losing high performing employees through attrition, and we're not getting backfill for the positions. I can't imagine my department running any "leaner".
Next Round of Layoffs
Next round of layoffs need to hit the director level+ especially hard. There are still faaaaaaaarrrr too many VP, SVP, EVPs getting paid millions of dollars to fly around the country and do nothing!
IT Layoffs
In the following 4 weeks we are going to see a 37% cut of IT staffing. This is not region specific, sites seeing the cuts should expect more broad layoffs as the year progresses.
Toot Toot -- all aboard the layoff train. Next stop is IT and Tech.
Don't take my word for it, take the "you can demote or be let go" meeting as fact.
More finance layoffs with Project Elevate
DFS (dealer financial services) was cut yesterday, moving all the Bellevue team members to Overland park (like anyone would move). More and more finance positions are getting drawn into the new Magenta services center. Nobody in finance is safe... — read more
Is it just me...
or does Mike remind you of Kermit the frog with his fake open mouth smiles at the all team meetings?
Our Voice?
Anyone having any damage control meetings about the employee survey yet?
Fines again?
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/29/tech/fcc-fines-att-verizon-200-million/index.html T-Mobile fined $80M Sprint fined $12M Of course, pending appeal. Mikey needs to speak to the Biden Administration on what to do.
$950M to buy Lumos fiber
Sievert thins out or ranks by laying off thousands, then turns around and spends $950M on a futile effort and double down on his home internet play? Why are we silent about this?
CTO Promotions
I was on vacation this week and just saw John Saw’s email where CTO promoted 75 people. Are these promotions company wide? Did the see the survey results and panic? Layoffs to come to compensate?
Not a finance person
Why do we sometimes do earning before market opens or after it closes? Will the earning be impacted by all the layoffs short term, because of all the severance?
HQ is moving to OP....
...eventually...Bellevue will be downsized to a regional RBO like AT&T did with Redmond and official HQ will be Kansas. Not like tomorrow...but soon...very soon.
No layoffs today
We made it another day, NO LAYOFFS REPORTED TODAY.... Prepare to wake up tomorrow and give T-Mobile 100% effort. Thanks in advance!!
DEI and Age a Layoff Concern
Why does the moderator keep pulling commentary on DEI, Age and Layoffs? Pressure from the HR team at T-Mobile? Mikey doesn't like info and putting pressure on the website? T-Mobile Legal threatening action? T-Mobile uses DEI as a filter for... — read more
Earth Day Perks...LOL!
This is how awesome T-Mobile's "Perks" are. For Earth Day, they have a drawing for an electric vehicle (perhaps the most earth unfriendly item out there) from Fisker (who is being delisted from the NYSE on 4/22/24 due to... — read more
Don't take your kids to work next week
Protect them. Keep them far away from T-Mobile.
Layoffs are coming soon
Immediately after the survey results are announced and managers create plans to address concerns, the layoffs will begin. This time, people will be asked to leave on a voluntary basis. If there are not enough volunteers, then it will transition to... — read more
T-Force restructuring.
Hello. Take or leave, it believe or not but T-Force is getting offshored. Don't say I didn't try to warn you.
Are we unionizing?
Will it be CWA or IBEW ? Rumors are starting to Fly I’m definitely getting union vibes..
Switch moving to contractors?
I spoke with a vendor tonight that has been performing work in various T-Mobile Switches across the country. He stated a switch in Kansas has moved all of their Switch Techs to contractors. Is there any truth to this, and can we expect it everywhere?... — read more
TFB-- Is this group gaining market share?
Our consumer side is winning the race vs the competition. How about TFB? Is there growing success here as well? Numbers attainable, etc?
Almost done with severance and unemployment...
Walking away from the labor force with $615K in cash for my 18 years of service. T-Mobile seems like a dream to me now after 6 months. Sad, I started with Voicestream where everybody and even the country and company seemed happy, and now its a dour... — read more
OPERATIONS
Any truth to Ericsson or 3rd party vendors taking over Dev and Fops? Lots of noise in the industry about this. Quite a few of the Field Techs are leaving the company going to Amazon, taking jobs in technology. Spill the beans if you know... — read more
T-Force - Layoffs and shift to overseas.
Teams are being built out as we speak. T-Force is going to offshore sites. Offshore agents who demonstrated the ability to help customers when given T-Force tasks during the holiday overflow periods will be first selected. Get out before you end... — read more
Major CEC Shakeup Imminent
There will be some big announcements made for a CEC flipping to a new LOB soon.
Is anything secure?
Looks like AT&T is as bad as T-Mobile in the compromising of customer data https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/att-data-breach-exposes-73-million-current-former-accounts-dark-web
Boycott the Our Voice survey.
Fu-k 'em.
I think this might be about SprinT-Mobile
