T-Mobile US cut its workforce by nearly 7% during the first half of 2026. The reduction eliminated over 4,500 full-time equivalent positions. This move executes a restructuring plan first announced in late 2025.
The company aims to streamline operations by centralizing leadership and removing duplicative roles. These cuts return headcount to levels recorded before the $4.3 billion UScellular asset acquisition in 2025. T-Mobile will reinvest the resulting cost savings into digital transformation efforts.
