#layoffs

This was online this morning. It says layoffs to continue through March.

T-Mobile is undergoing significant layoffs across multiple departments, with recent cuts confirmed as of January 2026. Employees in sales, business units, call centers, and engineering have been affected, particularly supervisory staff—reports indicate 75% of supervisory roles are being eliminated. The Dedicated Experts team experienced a wave of layoffs from Monday to Friday, with leadership and hourly employees impacted.

These changes are part of a broader digital transformation strategy driven by new CEO Srini Gopalan. T-Mobile is aggressively pushing its T-Life app, which now has over 90 million downloads, and integrating AI-powered customer service via a partnership with OpenAI. As a result, roles tied to in-person or phone-based support are being reduced.

T-Mobile has not disclosed the exact number of layoffs but confirmed "some changes" while continuing to hire. The company is also restructuring retail operations, with rumors of new "Consumer Account Executives" in stores for small businesses and increased pressure on staff to use T-Life for upgrades and sales.

Layoffs are expected to continue through the end of Q1 2026, with no official hiring freeze confirmed despite earlier rumors. Employees in Washington state, including Bellevue, Bothell, and Snoqualmie, were impacted in a prior round affecting 121 workers starting October 2025.

For real-time updates, employees and the public are monitoring Reddit (r/tmobile) and TheLayoff.com

Train wreck in every org coming. We struggle to manage operations with current staffing, and no way in he!! will HIH provide % of 1% support to keep lights on, nevermind manage strategy. All those on the 20 to 25% cut list, remember you followed their lead, they created the mess...I hope they bought stock in the mops they will need to clean up the slop on the floors.

Once was a time I was proud to work at VZ. In the matter of two short years It turned into a sh-tshow I blame my director for hiring supervisors without a clue in the world how the world works or how to turn a wrench. GET THESE GUYS OUT! p.s. I would bring my concerns up to my supervisor but the retaliation at this company is real. RIP VERIZON ON TO THE NEXT

Sorry to say, well drilling gas virtually stopped and jobs are gone. We are in a recession! Cheap Gas isn’t good for oil companies

Expect a lot more layoffs soon. Hearing tons on the street. It will recover in time like it always does, but prepare for some rough years ahead

In this week's episode, legacy FT staff are still applying for their old jobs at FT. Making it to an interview is impressive enough since no one knows what criteria is being used. If one actually does interview, it is with colleagues fresh off the FIS boat, well known to them. Awkward interview ensues. One is then treated to radio silence. It is essential to keep legacy FT staff on the phones at FIS to answer Retirement calls through the end of Peak Season. It would further appear that FT believes that putting interviewees in a holding pattern until the end without advising them of same is just fine. The bitter end is close enough for the remaining staff to be able to smell the severance. All the while FIS is furiously sending out emails pleading for volunteers for overtime. Imagine the fights Andy Cohen will have to navigate while filming the Reunion?

Someone said earlier that lots of scrum masters got let go. Can someone confirm if a layoff happened yet?

It's not looking good. I feel so bad.

I was laid off 9/2 in MA. Developer, Database org, over 50 with 25+ years of service. The job search absolutely su-ked. Coding tests, ghosting, false promises, impossible interview questions; just brutal.

I finally did get an offer for about the same $$ as I was making at O.

The biggest obstacle was the lack of cloud based buzzwords on my cv e.g. snowflake, kubernetes, lambda, etc. Oracle development is composed of all proprietary cr-p of absolutely zero market value in the real world.

I am sharing this info as a data point for others who may be in the same situation in case someone finds it helpful to know the search is not easy but not hopeless either. I was close to giving up but glad I didn’t.

T-Mobile has refused to release the exact number or even a ballpark number of positions eliminated. One has to wonder why? What is the leadership hiding?

Srini Gopalan and Deeanne King must be cowards if they dont have the guts to share the layoff numbers. Usually people do things quietly and with lack of transparency when they are not doing the right thing.

Nemacolin confirmed Wednesday it has laid off an undisclosed number of employees.

A statement from the Fayette County resort said the workforce reduction followed changes in available room inventory that have impacted guest volume and operational demand.

New thread for ONLY Layoff information!

I have it on good authority that those with the new forced lowest ranking will be fired at the end of the year.

The genius move, is that this isn’t considered a layoff. So no severance is needed.

May the odds be ever in your favor

Feels definitely less than last round of 5k in 2023.

Can someone please share the directives coming down right now? Every leader seems even more in a scramble this week than the last 8 combined.
Yes it’s clear layoffs happened this week, but it’s something more. I had vaguely overheard, I was trying not to be obvious, about a directive that was given from HR about a RTO mandate. As in some directive about a larger mandate to ensure employees are in hubs and not remote. What is going on? All of us see and sense something.

Where is the media on this?

Any confirmation of layoffs within Home and Community Care (NaviHealth)

To notify all impacted employees they have been rifed on Friday. Some leaders are being asked to do it for employees who don’t even report to them. Truly bonkers situation that shows:
1) rif number going to be huge
2) hr is useless if they can’t help out in such a scenario
3) they might as well do one large teams meeting and notify everyone in there they have Been rif

Saw it on the news today

Lot of massive cuts across the whole call centers on west and in the east coast. Managers and coaches being let go in VR. Are the Virtual Retail Reps next?

Should I be worried?

Meta announced layoffs within its reality labs division. A notice confirms 331 Washington state employees will be impacted. These cuts affect staff in Redmond, Bellevue, Seattle, and remote roles.

Blue Cross of Idaho has implemented organizational changes aimed at improving efficiency and reducing costs for its customers.

The company, which has been committed to Idaho for over 80 years, stated that these changes will help it focus on serving nearly 600,000 members and continue transforming the healthcare experience in the communities it serves.

Blue Cross confirms that fewer than 90 employees were affected by the changes.

The Blue Cross previously announced layoffs effecting approximately 135 employees during April of 2025, following the early termination of a decade-long dual eligible contract with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) in June 2025.

The company said it has built a dedicated team over the past ten years to serve the dual population, providing personalized care coordination for Idahoans with complex and costly medical needs. The loss of the contract led to the closure of that exclusive operating unit.

My manager told me today that I need to let someone on my team go as part of a cost-cutting effort, and that I’m expected to notify them next Wednesday. I don’t agree with this decision. My team is already working excessive hours dealing with production issues we can’t keep up with, and the expectation is that my other team will just have to absorb the additional workload. According to my manager, the directive is to cut one person from each team.

Was just told by someone in that department that on Friday 1/23 they are laying off 17% of the team.

Have they cut your roster down? Looks like Roseville, Ca. going to take a hit as well. This merger, low car counts, not reaching monthly repair numbers. It was bound to happen. So much for a utility position. I see scab city before long. Good luck brothers, hanging tight in SoCal

Does anyone have any updates on tomorrows RIFs has any manager been notified that they have to give the talk ?

I have about 6 names I have filed away deep into memory, and I have a very long memory. There is a small chance that one day in the future your name will cross my desk and I will remember you. I will remember how you lied, manipulated and gamed the system to stack rank good people to force them out the door. I will remember your lack of ethics. If that day ever comes know this: I will remember you, and I will be sure to exert whatever influence I have to reciprocate after you burned that bridge.

Also know this, there are thousands of others like me who will remember you. They will also remember how Wells Fargo treated them. Eventually the damage to your reputation, and the firms, will catch up to you.

For anyone who has a large balance of Standout points (Point Perks program) you may want to use them now, just in case you get whacked over the next few weeks.

Record profits and I got my walking papers today as a senior engineer. Dozens of others too! Go Bank of India!

Next 75 figured it that it would look amazing, to use AI software for QA for customer service, cutting out accenture and in house employees..

Funny part is they have no idea, that AI software sold to them, is in the early adoption phase.. AI software makers are making big corporations adopt, once they are absolutely dependent on them, the licensing costs will be through the roof with contracts requiring money to get out, whereas people are easy to fire and hire. People wage growth is a laughable to BIG AI hiking up licensing cost 2 X - 3 x every 5 years

You just played yourself, all your data and operational capability belongs to us. Best part the VP and Director who signed off on this wont be even be there, next time licensing price is hiked

They are happening now. I know CPS and TPS impacted. Where else? Happy new year!!

Aside from managers, any FOPS techs get hit yet?

A lot of what I thought would happen is starting to happen right now. I’m not here anymore but figured I’d see as to is anything was changing and it turns out that the RTM position was tested in a few markets and now it’s rolling out in many areas probably most. Makes me even more glad I got out.

I was always saying to myself that my reasoning why it hadn’t yet been implemented in our area was that it would happen under the circumstances that enough reps and/or RMS’ would leave that they would just give everyone left one giant territory and that the person will have the duties of a sales rep while doing the duties like scheduling and everything else a typical manager would do. But since none of the people who said they would leave left it would be a matter of when this rolls out nationwide,

Can’t see why they have to make things worse than mission 1. With the amount of people who take packages im willing to bet that anyone who isn’t looking to leave sales rep RMS or DM will most likely have a job. With the amount who will likely leave they will likely make the territories for these people even bigger which would have to expand the role of the FTOWs.

Problem is they don’t have the manpower from FTOW. Not enough people are interested in it. Even from the outside world they can’t get anyone to work for them. Can’t blame them I was overworked and treated like such cr-p towards the end. Had I not gotten out this is what I’d be dealing with. Even worse being pushed harder while still having the same absymal pay.

Fresh off a favorable decision in its $2 billion legal dispute with a competitor, Pegasystems Inc. is cutting jobs.

The Waltham-based software company eliminated "less than 100 global positions" in its consulting organization last week as clients adopt Pega's new AI products, according to an email from a Pegasystems spokesperson on Monday.'

Wondering how many folks have lost their jobs. OPKS HQ hit pretty hard.

Matt Igoe- number 2 BNSF to RJ Corman
Colby Tanner -BNSF Executive Officer to OmniTrax
Tammy Middleton - chief BNSF Chief Legal Executive and executive officer -appointed to OmniTrax Chief Legal Officer

Top 3 under Katie Farmer all to shortlines in less than a year, all of which have either taken over BNSF mechanical facilities or TY&E terminals, or in OmniTrax took over facilities only to have BNSF come in later and take them back over due to substandard maintenance and Inspections

Starting to see a pattern, of which history repeats itself, when OmniTrax came in significant cuts were made to BNSF system wide with a 10 year hiring freeze in mechanical, of which led to understaffing, increase in injuries, and foreman hiding in bushes to watch mechanical until a safety rule was violated so everyone was on a level S until they decided to terminate an employee for minor infractions, so everyone was walking on eggshells

So they decided to print more shares. It's down ~12% pre market as of 8:50 EST.

WOW. There is never a good time to do something this stupid, but a week before earnings. This is super desperate.

Converse people - does anyone know the week we should be expecting reorg and layoffs and to work from home? Getting tired of waiting around.

The job cuts stand out as one of the biggest employment setbacks the city has faced in recent years and come during a challenging economic moment for many residents. As housing, food, and health care costs keep rising, many households were already struggling before the layoffs were announced.
