Just got the call this morning that my entire department (Enterprise Delivery) is being laid off come the bed of August 2020. From our VP down to entry level business analysts. We were not former Sprint employees either. First they fired our VP of 20 years, then replaced him with a Sprint VP who works out of Kansas City. My department is based in the Bellevue, WA corporate offices and has been here for over 17 years. Because this new VP doesn’t want to travel, she decided to fire every T-Mobile employee who currently works in our corporate office (over 150 people) and retain her Sprint employees in Kansas City effectively replacing all of us.

14 years with the company and they said goodbye out of nowhere.. f— T-Mobile
Sorry to hear you have to go through this job trauma. It can happen to anyone in Corporate America. People are, unfortunately, viewed as being expendable vs. profits.
There are very few people anymore who manage to go through their entire career without a job loss due to company downsizing.
There are some incredibly talented and experienced Sprint employees, so don't assume they'll always be impacted ahead of T-Mobile resouces.
This is so disgusting. I was also affected by the layoffs in one if the call centers. Those of us let go had over a decade with the company as well. I am sure this is being handled in small waves to prevent big media headlines. Just makes me sick. I worked myself to the bone helping them get where they are today....and this is the thanks. It is definitely a wakeup call. I guess I drank the koolaid for too long...I really did think T-Mobile was better than that.
The entire Marketing division under Matt Staneff just went thru layoffs on 6/30. This was a serious thinning of the staff; myself being one of them and a decade with the company, some have been there longer.
Not sure why there aren't more headlines on this last round of cuts - some complete groups gone.
This is awesome! They just open new offshore offices and hire cheap labor and they let you take care of your COVID-19 problems.
I wonder if they will stop and manager lever positions in call centers.
They laid off coaches and tm in every tmobile call center also. Non sprint and wont give info on how they chose them. Some newer some tenured for years. Told us "at the end of the merger it would be a net gain, not that people won't get laid off"
And they made sure to dump you guys after the Pandemic Relief period!
