T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) has laid off workers in its network-operations and engineering group as part of a continuing overhaul since its merger with Sprint two years ago, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
Without sharing information on how many roles were eliminated or whether more cuts were coming, a T-Mobile (TMUS) spokeswoman stated that the actions were part of continuing organizational shifts during the past few months.

According to an employee who was laid off this week, the latest wave of layoffs occurred in recent days and included managers and executives.
The mobile telecoms firm employed ~80K people after it closed the Sprint deal in April 2020. It ended 2021 with ~75K workers, as per a regulatory filing.
In July, T-Mobile (TMUS) increased the amount of its expected cost savings from the Sprint deal by about $200M to a range of $5.4B to $5.6B, with CFO Peter Osvaldik citing on a conference call "more network savings [were] driven by accelerated site decommissioning."
