Hi, I am considering an offer at T-Mobile Bellevue Corporate Office for a manager position. I have been seeing news about T-Mobile pushing hard to get their employees back to the office. I reached out specifically to HR stating I can only accept this offer if it is a hybrid schedule with 2-3 times a week as I live 60 miles away from Bellevue WA. HR got back to me with my organization director's response - "We can accommodate a hybrid schedule with 2-3 times a week but there is always the potential of management changing that in the future, but there is no concern in the foreseeable future." Now I am hesitating on accepting this offer. First, it does not sound like going hybrid is a company wide practice, but instead they "accommodate" for me on a singular case basis. I wonder why T-Mobile still has not published a more solidified plan on these planning. My feeling is that the company does not intend to be hybrid and hybrid schedule will go away after a year or two and then I will be stuck with a horrible commute or looking for a new job. Any current T-Mobile employees can share some insights on what they are seeing from inside? I tried to talk to the interview team and HR, but everyone is very vague on this topic and hence I am becoming very hesitant. TC 150k #tmobile #returntooffice #hybrid #telecom #covid-19
Heavily team dependent but your gut feeling is right. They are trying to push back on WFH and you should join a different company if you want a guaranteed hybrid schedule
Thank you for the response! That is essentially what I said to them - I will only accept this position if it allows me wfh and it needs to be in my offer letter. I don’t think they will agree and the package is low anyway.
They are taking a hard stance on RTO and creating a culture where people are not supposed to talk about or question it. Even if you don't work with anyone in the same building as your desk, they insist on you coming in to make zoom calls from that desk. Gotta use the new campus after all! The SLT is pretending that people who want WFH are all antivaxxers, which is not the case. Most of them are vaccinated folks who think working in an office now is irresponsible (omicron!) or folks that have had better production from home than in an office. There were two tmo holiday spreader events, and this was never disclosed to employees. They just added optional weekly testing, which does not really make us feel better considering the 3 day incubation of omicron. I think hybrid will stay, and exceptions will end, but you will have to commute 3 days per week, every week.
Thank you so much for your insights. I had another call with the team’s leader and she basically was upfront and honest about it that T Mobile’s leadership is pushing for return to office. Even though I enjoyed her and the team, I do not think this kind of culture is where I can perform well. Unfortunately, I decided to walk away.
Wunderbar !! I just cancelled my T-Mobile subscription due to their hard RTO policy.
The RTO thing is very real and getting worse as a direction from senior leadership. I, and many others, were hired fully remote and TMO is revoking this agreement and making hybrid (3 days/week in an office, any office) required.
Decline the offer and say you will join fully remote only. What they are offering is less anyways.
what they are offering is less than what?
Yes their package is low compared to others. That’s why I am not negotiable on my wfh option. If they are not going to accommodate this, I will not accept the offer.
