    So guaranteed these are the remainder of the Sprint folks that were acquired about a year past.

    It criticized economists who predicted T-Mobile would have to cut jobs.

    I mean, it’s obvious it would, acquisitions of a rival company always mean layoffs, by default. You don’t need two separate teams who handle the same thing, some teams may need to expand, but a huge amount of people are redundant by definition. (For example, customer service may absorb some more roles to cover the new customers, but you aren’t going to keep the director of customer service from sprint, you already have your own)

    Also here in WA state 60 days is mandatory severance for layoffs. So don’t get any feelings that TMobile is being kind, they’re just following our laws around layoffs here. They’d pay less if they could.
