T-Mobile -- now the second-largest U.S. wireless carrier because of the April 1 merger -- is asking the state’s Public Utilities Commission for a waiver of job-creation goals and network-speed milestones. Though T-Mobile’s agreement with California included the creation of 1,000 full-time jobs, the company said Tuesday that the state can’t dictate hiring. The Covid-19 crisis “makes the imposition of a mandate to create additional jobs infeasible and unwarranted,” it said in a filing with the commission. T-Mobile also recently started shuffling its retail stores. Thousands of Metro and Sprint store employees are being displaced as they face the prospect of searching for different jobs at T-Mobile or leaving the company. source
