T-Mobile, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, has confirmed layoffs are underway, although the exact number remains undisclosed. Reports suggest that the layoffs could number in the hundreds, as the company aims to streamline its IT organization to foster growth and innovation.
This latest round of job cuts follows a previous reduction of 393 positions in August, which affected various roles including managers and engineers. Currently, T-Mobile employs around 75,000 individuals, with nearly 8,000 based in the Seattle area.
The move is part of a broader trend impacting the tech industry in Seattle, where significant layoffs have also occurred at companies like Amazon and Meta. T-Mobile's decision comes despite a strong financial performance in 2025, reporting $71.3 billion in service revenue and a net income of $11 billion.
In a statement, T-Mobile expressed its commitment to provide “robust support” for affected employees as they transition following these changes.
