T-Mobile still falls short on job promises after Sprint merger
T-Mobile pledged to create thousands of jobs when it bought Sprint in 2020. Several years later, and despite new acquisitions, the company employs fewer people than it did right after the merger.
Regulators approved the Sprint deal partly on the basis of T-Mobile’s job-creation claims. Instead, the combined company has cut positions as it folded Sprint’s operations into its own and continued to restructure. The gap between T-Mobile’s public promises and its current headcount has put a spotlight on how merger commitments are enforced in the US telecom market.
