T-Mobile USA will restructure its business and
hold another round of layoffs as it seeks to
reduce its operating costs.
The changes were announced in a memo from
CEO Philipp Humm leaked to the Verge.
It's unclear just how many jobs would be shed
in the latest cut. It comes on top of 1,000 jobs
the carrier said in March it would shed as part
of its ongoing restructuring plan. In the note,
Humm said the company would contact
employees personally about the cuts and
changes in responsibilities.
The changes are expected to make the carrier
a leaner business just as it makes a pricey bet
on improving its current network this year and
moving to 4G LTE next year. The carrier, which
lags behind its larger rivals, has been
aggressively repositioning itself as the
aggressive upstart after nearly a year in limbo
waiting for the AT&T takeover.
With the AT&T deal squashed, the carrier and
parent Deutsche Telekom has attempted to
make a go of it independently.
It's unclear how the restructuring would look.
Humm said the new structure would reduce
the layers of management and allow for more
nimble movement by the carrier. As with the
March announcement, the cuts wouldn't affect
customer service representatives, engineering
technicians, or front-line employees at T-
Mobile stores.
