Come April, and many employees will start leaving T-Mobile. The American telecom giant is cutting 393 jobs in Washington as part of a new round of workforce reductions, according to a filing with the state’s Employment Security Department.
The company explained that the cuts are due to changing business needs but clarified that no facilities are being closed. The layoffs are not linked to relocation or outsourcing, though some of the work may eventually be reassigned.
The layoffs affect more than 200 different job titles, including analysts, engineers, technicians, directors, and managers. Nearly 210 senior- and director-level employees are impacted, along with seven individuals holding vice president or senior vice president positions. Among them are a senior vice president of talent and four vice presidents of legal affairs.
The affected employees worked across multiple locations, including T-Mobile’s Bellevue headquarters, data centres in Bellevue and East Wenatchee, and retail or operational facilities in Bothell, Bellingham, Woodinville, Spokane Valley, and other areas. Employees were given 60 days’ notice, with departures scheduled to take effect on 2 April.
It is reported that T-Mobile employed about 70,000 people as of December 31, 2024, with nearly 8,000 workers in the Seattle region. The layoffs come amid a wave of job losses across the Seattle-area tech sector, including reductions at Amazon, Expedia, Meta, and Zillow.
This is not the first round of cuts for T-Mobile. In August 2025, the company laid off 121 workers. Leadership also changed in November, when Srini Gopalan, former chief operating officer replaced longtime CEO Mike Sievert.
Despite the layoffs, T-Mobile reported $18.2 billion in third-quarter revenue, a nine per cent increase year-over-year, and added one million new postpaid phone customers. Its stock, however, has fallen nearly 20 per cent over the past year, say reports.
