Thread regarding T-Mobile layoffs

Mickey really has no clue what he’s doing. T-Mobile has fired large numbers of their most experienced & most educated employees all in the name of hiring some recent GenZ UW grad with a degree in ‘business’ that will work 70 hours a week for $48k and a 3% raise a year.

I guess we all cost too much.

Sincerely,

GenX

PS- fu-k you Mickey.

Those that are staying need to be looking for other employment as well. This isn’t part of the normal pivot and regroup cycle. This is leadership having no idea what they are doing. Great people who were some of the only ones left with true/‘tribal’ knowledge of these systems are gone now. I was impacted going into the merger and found a fall back internal job (step back and since promoted again), but that was in arguably redundant positions so I understood (as much as someone can). This is different, way different. My heart goes out to all of those that were impacted, you had nothing to do with this. That doesn’t make it better right now, but when you have a better job and those of us still here are looking over our shoulder you’ll be better for it!!!!!

It sucks but it is a business and as such needs to make money. The more money the more people it can pay. Letting people go is not fun but in a few months they will identify were they need more people and put more to work. It is a cycle.
TMO was a very good place to work with very good benefits and they did what they could to make it fun while there.
*Don't take it personal even though it feels that way. Your next job will probably pay you more.

Don't love the employer ; Love your Job.... Always work with second job option ready... Sc--w the employer... they don't give sh*t about employees... Speed of trust... All hands... yearly picnic.... Winner Circle, Peak these are all bull cr-p... all are meant to serve leadership check boxes... you too are one checkbox in there sheet. You are just an asset to them which they can purge whenever they want and show candy whenever they feel like.... Never ever get settled in job.... its not your own company... so don't give dam about it besides doing your work/job and giving more interest in that... it will help at the job or whenever you looking outside....

TMO and ATT merger or buyout was blocked by the FCC, years back, the reason was that there will be not enough competition in the market. Although, the Companies promised to create more jobs…. The study which was done by diligent FCC employees showed that whenever there is a merger or a buyout between companies it always results in layoffs due to the duplication and change of strategies.
I am one of those affected by this layoffs but I knew from day one, that layoffs were coming and will continue until a setup no is reached, be that by attrition or forced resignation or layoffs.

The IRS has 87000 new jobs available. Maybe a couple thousand could do an audit of TMO

The DOJ won't pay any attention - but the FTC will. Check out their new initiatives.

You're probably right about the DOJ not caring but you can still twist this tu-d under their noses in as about as much time as it takes to respond here. If enough people make a big enough stink, they'll take a look. At this point, what else do you have to lose?

Meh! This rock is rolling and "we won't stop" until it hits bottom. T-Mobile execs lack real strategy and are focused on the wrong problems. I highly doubt the DOJ actually cares. You are better off looking elsewhere.
