- The layoffs were disclosed in a filing with the Washington State Employment Security Department
- Employees are being given 60 days advance notice
- The job cuts occur as part of broader layoffs across the U.S. tech sector
T-Mobile is laying off 363 people in Washington, according to a new filing with the state’s Employment Security Department.
The cuts are across the board, affecting project managers, account care coaches and engineers. Among the positions being eliminated are 21 senior systems architecture engineers, 17 senior business systems analysts and 11 senior technical project managers.
Some of the layoffs involve employees at its headquarters in Bellevue; other locations are Bothell, Snoqualmie, East Wenatchee, Bellingham, Woodinville and Spokane Valley. A number of remote workers are also affected.
T-Mobile is giving the employees at least 60 days advance notice, with April 2 being the official separation day.
The Seattle area has been particularly hit hard with layoffs this year. Amazon started laying off 2,198 workers in the state last week as part of a bigger plan to slash 16,000 roles across the company. Meta is jettisoning 331 positions and Verizon recently eliminated 165 jobs in Washington.
Layoff déjà vu
The layoffs at T-Mobile are permanent, but employees are encouraged to pursue other T-Mobile roles. There are hundreds of job openings, many of them in the retail sector but also – as you may have guessed – in specialties related to AI.
Fierce asked T-Mobile for comment and was given the same statement we got the last time we inquired about layoffs a few weeks ago.
“Being the Un-carrier has always meant growing in ways that fuel broader products and services, deepen connections with our customers and enable us to respond even faster to a dynamic market. As the next step in our evolution, we’re making some changes while continuing to hire to ensure we have the right focus, structure and momentum to keep changing the industry through innovation and a long-standing focus on customers,” the statement said.
Reports circulated on Reddit ahead of the holidays that people were getting laid off at T-Mobile. At the time, Fierce didn’t find any state filings related to those layoffs, which came after Verizon announced in November that it was laying off 13,000 workers.
T-Mobile shares have traded down almost 20% over the past year despite its “darling” status held by many Wall Street analysts. According to MarketWatch, 18 out of 32 analysts have “buy” ratings for T-Mobile stock.
T-Mobile will report its Q4 and full-year 2025 results during a Capital Markets Day update event in New York City on February 11.
During Q3 2025, T-Mobile added 1 million new postpaid phone customers. Service revenues were up 9% year over year and adjusted EBITDA of $8.7 billion was up 6% year over year.
