After 20 years , I Just Got Laid Off and Im Fully Vacinated. This is unreal looking for Lawyers this company is running full WOKE.
Yes I was laid off too on 4/19/22, legacy T-Mobile, white female with 18 years and I know quite a few women that got laid off too, all legacy T-Mobile with 20 to 25 years in Engineering, which seems all that was hit so far.
Manger said TMO Company Wide was asking all Groups to evaluate their Teams and how to make more efficient. Retirement options openly discussed. More layoff coming.

Enjoy the reading and the fact that our CEO makes cool $22.6M a year, just 312 times more than us.
I also got laid off 4/20/2022 Legacy Sprint 28 years white. The oldest in our group were all laid off. All Legacy Sprint. T-Mobile just wanted 2.5 spectrum now they will let most of Sprint Engineers go.
I'm hearing upcoming layoffs this summer is TSDO (Operations). I'm sure that will be a majority of Legacy Sprint because it seems that org is busting our the seams with them. I'm also hearing Brian Kings Org (what remains in ETS) will take a bit and he will likely be gone this summer to.
That's a weird statement. Depends on which department you walk into, it's possible that 90% of the department are white men. If that department got hit with RIF, how many white men will be let go, assuming performance are evenly distributed regardless of race and gender?
90% of the team members TMobile laid off in the last 2 weeks were white, mostly men, but 90% white- regardless of tenure or performance. We have to stop fitting people into “quotas” and start keeping whoever is best at their job.
Got laid off with many others 4/19/22. Engineering. Director and hr in a call. Told not to tell anyone. 2 months pay with severance. TMO will not let you take a contract position until November. They said to apply for full time internal positions but gave us no way to access the internal job boards. It was all very unprofessional and half a-s, last minute. Probably a blessing. TMO is half a-s and unprofessional in general.
Layoffs going on now. Alot of the old Sprint people are being let go because of positions being eliminated.
I heard retail stores will be trimmed down from about 9,000 to 7,000 soon.
Territory Managers layoffs happening now. TMO keeping hush but people on Twitter sharing their goodbyes
Engineering Teams cut 220 personnel last week. Severance package is 8 weeks + 2 more weeks for every year of service.
Since when is the abusee not the victim. I dont know too many willing participants in armed robbery. Being dismissive of peoples real pain and suffering is the same abuse as what they received while working for the company.
Nationwide TMobile states no new hire classes until Jan 2023. Still why no union after all the changes that are hurting the employees? Meanwhile Board member are cash out several millions of stock which is public record
I heard that the people that were given the boots received severance package (2 Months of salary) * this is from one source that was impacted …. Any more data? Anyone?
I have heard from some people that just got laid off from t-mobile. Their last day is 4/22/22. Seems they laid off a lot of the RF testers and RF engineering in Reston VA.
My vaxx exemption expires in July. My organization is hiring, but many people around me from other orgs have been laid off suddenly. Some told the day they were called it was their last day, others told they have until this Friday. I wonder if they will fire me in July.
Can anyone pls comment what is severance package given?
From my org, close to 10% were laid off yday. In case you all are wondering, it’s in engineering !! I really feel bad for this folks and for the people who are already here, pls run ASAP
People got laid off today as well at least 25 that I know of, some legacy sprint and some legacy T-Mobile. I am a manager in the NE and have been with T-Mobile for over 19 years. Still have my job so far but I am looking for other opportunities in my late 50’s…
By the way, the layoffs are not related to what legacy company you were with or your performance, 3 out of the 25 people I know have outstanding performance. I’m starting to think that they look at how much you make and base their decision on that.
Sadly, T-Mobile is not the company it used to be, they say we are OPEX challenged…
Quick advice from an old man, do not work more than what you are paid for, because that will be forgotten, and no one is going to consider it when this kind of layoffs hit. Peace..
current employee not gone yet ….
It seems clear to me that the labor shortage is a hoax. If it wasn't we would be bending over backwards to keep people. As a side note, I am a well qualified senior manager in good standing and I have not been able to find work elsewhere. Lot's of interviews at FAANG and other S/W places but no offers and the job posting remain open.
I suspect the house of cards economy created the last year is about to collapse in a really big way.
Most Religious Exemption that got approved in march are due in July 3, My guess they will be Fired as well.
Got laid off from T-MO today, Software Eng. , Legacy Sprint. Not because of vaccine (don't let them confuse you). Several other Legacy Sprint I know got hit.
I heard Tmobile Engineering got hit.
is it effective immediately or do those who got affected get some buffer time?
It happened at 04/19/2022,
I am still employed. Lost two co-workers today. Both in their 60’s. Lawsuit incoming?
I’m guessing they hit most of the legacy yellow people that aren’t aware of how toxic and inefficient this company actually is.
I feel lucky. 20 years, never hit with a layoff until now. I was holding out for a package, I got it. It’s not the Nextel 2 weeks per year package, but it will hold me over.
that suxx. what department is you in at?
I got Laid off today and I am vaccinated and have worked remote for years I was with Sprint since 1994 T-Mobile for the past two.
Layoffs already happening and last day is June 2022
How did you find out you were being laid off? Did you get an individual calendar invite with your manager and an hR consultant? Also did it say to go
Into a private room
I don't understand why you think more cuts are coming in July? Also if you have knowledge who are they cutting? All unvaxxed staff was let go on 4/2.
They just let go an untold number of employees who refused the jab on 4/2. With more expected in July apparently.
200 people laid off on business side this past Monday.
Looks like those layoffs came after all.
Finally. Please let me tf out of here.
I am a Project manager for T-Mobile and I have heard that there will be layoffs in 2022. All the way down to RSM.
There's not gonna be layoffs. What they're gonna do is just let attrition take care take care of reducing numbers. They haven't backfilled a position in months.
