T-Mobile is giving workers a raise as it deals with inflation and staffing issues from the pandemic.
Late last week, CEO Mike Sievert announced that the company will raise its minimum wage to $20 an hour. Sievert wrote: “It’s a job-seekers’ market, which means competition to keep and find top talent is competitive”. Earlier this year, it was reported that T-Mobile was looking to fill 5,000 jobs over the next 18 months.
Will more employers follow this lead and raise its minimum pay rate?
The #Uncarrier depends on great people & #TeamMagenta has the best team there is – including those just starting out & building their skills! So we’re increasing @TMobile‘s min. pay nationwide, to include EVERY employee in #AllTheThings that make this a great place to work. 🔥
