T-Mobile reviews

It doesn't matter how hard you work, if you aren't one of the chosen, you will never get promoted. When I was there, I managed a team in IT, where we were responsible for improving data. Over a period of just over a year, the team improved our area by an increase of 60%. The internal business customers were thrilled. I was thrilled with my team. The team had really risen to the occasion and worked very hard, with measurable results. When it came time for reviews, I gave each team member a very good review, with all the documenation to back it up. When I presented the reviews to my management, I was told I had to rescore everyone at a much lower level. When I asked why, I was told because it made that directors other groups look not as effective as mine. I shared that the other groups were in fact NOT as effective, so they should be rated accordingly. My director yelled at me, saying how dare I compare my team to other people. He forced all the reviews downward, and gave me an average review. He said what the team accomplished was good, but it was what was expected, nothing special. He totally ignored my comment as to why then had the team not accomplished anything in the two years prior to my arrival, and why hadn't other groups performed this 'average' work? He refused to respond, saying only that I was not being a team player.

During my time with T-Mobile, I experienced race-based harassment, gender-based discrimination, and physical assault. I was paid less than male counterparts with fewer qualifications and less experience and lied to about the pay I was to receive after being promoted (then told I could either take the promotion at a lower rate of pay than originally promised or quit). I was called anti-Indigenous slurs. I was grabbed and groped multiple times within and directly outside of the store. I was told not to provide direction or feedback to male reports because they were--and I quote--"alpha males" and should not be expected to accept a woman's authority. The more I spoke up, the greater the retaliation became. I was routinely excluded from meetings; threatened with demotion; and at one point, scheduled to work 11 days straight with no time off. It's been about two years since I quit, and I'm still recovering from the physical and emotional trauma of working here. If you currently work here and are experiencing the same thing, file reports with HR and gather documentation. Everything that happened to me was illegal, especially considering that the three men responsible for the worst of it had been investigated previously for the exact same conduct. I should've pursued legal action and wish every day that I had. Instead, I chose to prioritize my physical safety and mental health and left without filing a formal report. Don't make the same mistake. Speak up regardless of the retaliation, get your documentation in order, call a lawyer, and make a plan. If you're not already working here, DO NOT apply. It is not worth the harm you'll suffer.
