Pros
can’t think of any pros, we had a great company culture at sprint and through the merger it just became a really hostile toxic culture. at sprint we were family oriented and we did great work, we had good smart people, there was little pressure of being at office or in person, we just got our work done. that was over with my second manager at t-mobile and introduction of jira.i was targeted for being a remote employee through vaccine exemption and eventually fired for what appears to be performance related. i would’ve liked to say pay was adequate but i was underpaid and my new manager made a case that i didn’t need more when i paid less then my unqualified coworkers with little experience. just an absolute terrible human being what can i say. this after 14 years of being a happy sprint employee never argued with anyone and got along with everyone. i guess stock did well so there’s that positive.
Cons
a lot of my colleagues have described similar experience, with the introduction of jira. despite our group being independent and working well, jira introduced stress and toxic workplace even between co-workers who would snitch on each other. i got called out for a single warning where i didn’t reply to an IM within 5 minutes and literally got fired over it. the manager they brought on was completely unqualified scaredy cat n95 freak. not technical nor a people person, targeted me and others for no reason, other coworkers have described similar encounters across the company. it was meant to cut some of the extras since the two companies merged. absolutely despised the treatment.
