Layoffs at Overland Park T-Mobile after merger in April

Over 200 employees have been laid off and 241 positions cut at the former Sprint headquarters.

After a federally approved merger of T-Mobile and Sprint back in February, the former headquarters of Sprint has released more than 200 employees, just two short months after the merger was officially closed in April, according to the AP.

A notification to regulators showed that T-Mobile cut around 241 positions in Overland Park related to the layoffs.

T-Mobile, based in suburban Seattle, said at the time of the merger that it would keep a secondary headquarters in Overland Park, according to the AP. The company has not expanded on what this will look like.

T-Mobile also said the merger would create thousands of new jobs across the country and that it was studying the merged company to ensure it focuses its resources to best serve its customers, according to a statement released by T-Mobile.

“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,” the statement said.
