T-Mobile is cutting another 77 jobs in its home state of Washington to restructure its workforce and reduce its reliance on traditional retail stores.
The Bellevue-headquartered company disclosed the cuts in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filing with Washington state. The layoffs are expected to take place between Sept. 21 and Nov. 18 and will affect employees across Seattle, Bellingham, Bothell, Vancouver, Bellevue, Kennewick, Tacoma and Yakima, as well as some remote workers.
Positions being eliminated range from retail employees to engineers, managers, directors and other corporate roles.
T-Mobile's Retail Shake-Up Is Bigger Than One Round of Layoffs
The cuts appear to be part of a much broader transformation at T-Mobile rather than an isolated cost-cutting exercise. Local reporting indicates that six of the 13 Washington locations affected by the latest action are expected to close, including retail sites and the Canyon Pointe office in Bothell.
T-Mobile's regulatory filings provide more context. The company began a workforce transformation in late 2025 to centralize teams, reduce management layers and eliminate overlapping roles. It recorded $141 million in related pre-tax charges during the first half of 2026.
At the same time, T-Mobile is deliberately reshaping its store network as more routine transactions move to digital channels and the company shifts toward larger experience-focused locations. T-Mobile recorded another $108 million in retail restructuring charges during the second quarter and said it is still evaluating additional restructuring activity.
That means further store closures cannot yet be ruled out.
T-Mobile Stock Rebounds Despite Restructuring
Investors appeared relatively unfazed heading into the weekend. T-Mobile shares finished Friday, Aug. 28, at $181.37after a 2.63% daily gain. The rally snapped a four-session losing streak.
Shares were standing at around $180.37 in Monday premarket trading, down roughly 0.55%.

The contrast is hard to miss: T-Mobile is aggressively shrinking parts of its physical footprint while returning a lot of capital to shareholders. The company repurchased $7.1 billion of stock during the first six months of 2026 alone, which suggests that management views restructuring and digital investment as part of a longer-term push for efficiency rather than a retreat from growth.
