KANSAS CITY, Mo. — T-Mobile will create new positions in the company over the next year as part of its merger with Sprint, but some employees could also be let go.
The company plans to add 5,000 new positions in departments like retail, care, business, engineering and network organizations in a one-year initiative.
However, the merger means some reorganization will take place where some positions overlap.
"This will result in additional career opportunities for many, as the company positions itself for long-term healthy growth. As part of this process, some employees who hold similar positions are being asked to consider a career change inside the company, and others will be supported in their efforts to find a new position outside the company," a release from T-Mobile read.
That process should be completed by the end of June, and the company does not have a number for how many employees are affected.
