T-Mobile U.S. Workforce Declines by 4,671 Amid 2025-2026 Workforce Transformation

T-Mobile has been quietly restructuring under CEO Srini Gopalan, conducting multiple rounds of job cuts across dozens of departments (including consumer and retail, end-user support, sales, business, product, account executives and sales managers) starting in December and continuing through March and April. Deutsche Telekom reported in its Q2 2026 earnings that T-Mobile’s U.S. headcount fell from 70,036 on Dec. 31, 2025 to 65,365 on June 30, 2026 — a decline of 4,671 employees (6.7%) that the parent attributed primarily to the 2025-2026 Workforce Transformation. T-Mobile said the reductions were tied to a digital-first transformation (T-Life) intended to modernize operations and reduce churn, and the company has also closed some independent retail locations and pushed digital self-service tools. The cuts followed the carrier’s acquisition of UScellular’s wireless operations and were described by T-Mobile as responses to a dynamic market.
