📞 T-Mobile keeps doing the thing it said it wouldn’t do
When T-Mobile acquired Sprint, it promised to keep employee count higher than pre-merger. Yet, here we are with more T-Mobile layoffs.

Corporate mergers ALWAYS result in LAYOFFS. (Regardless of what “they” say!)
While NOT ALWAYS true, it’s usually the ACQUIRED company that gets laid off.
Occasionally when the ACQUIRER wants a particular aspect of the ACQUIRED company, that “team” will be spared.
Typically layoffs occur in the duplicate functions like HR, Finance & Accounting, mid-level management.
Be always prepared for it. You should always be in “job search” mode.
REMEMBER:
Success for your generation is: (1) ruthless financial discipline — no bad debt; (2) a life long interest in learning — education — a degree — they can’t take it away from you; (3) a NON-OFFSHORABLE white collar job in order to save big bux; (4) a blue collar skill for hard times — never saw a poor plumber; (5) one or more internet based businesses — your store is always open; (6) a free time hobby that generates income; and (7) a large will-maintained network of people who can “help” you.
If you’re “surprised”, then you have failed at your most important job!
