What has happened to John Legere's Company?
I've been totally loyal to T-Mobile until now. No longer. The company that John Legere ran and perfected is gone. Everything is changing including prices. Mine went up $10 per month.
T-Mobile is like a robot that when created becomes so powerful that it destroys the very people that created it. Humans to the robot have become irrevelant. Well, customers to T-Mobile have also become irrevelant. Without all the loyal customers that John Legere brought to T-Mobile, T-Mobile would be nothing, absolutely nothing. Now the news is more acquisitions are in order for T-Mobile.
Therefore I will let the Un-carrier to themselves and lucky for me there is other places to go and I'll be moving. This is my last month on the Un-carrier.
It was never 'his', but shareholders. He was there for a purpose - to attempt to make T-Mobile as large as AT&T/Verizon by not having the appearance of being like AT&T and Verizon.
Of course, once the transformation was done - time to cut and run. There is no 'loyalty' to a corporation. It is there to make a profit. Legere flipped the company, and now as it is becoming more like the other 2 in size, it is also becoming that way as a .. 'carrier'.
Eg.
- was against bundling of services (now bundles and adds all sorts)
- was against increased rates with the uncontract - now will break it purposely and give you 1 month
- was against activation fees - now requires them
T-Mobile for some is still the low cost option, it just isn’t the same (or appears the same) as before T-Mobile / Sprint deal.
I'm well aware that shareholders own the company. And, if it wasn't for John Legere T-Mobile would have gone bust. You missed my point entirely. Without thousands of customers that were made promises by T-Mobile, Instead of T-Mobile acquiring other companies, other companies would have acquired T-Mobile. Regardless I'm gone.
CAVEAT EMPTOR!
What we are seeing with T-Mobile is the natural result of reduced competition. This is why I am cheering for Dish to actually complete and operate a fourth Nationwide wireless network.
Since Legere left, it feels like the company is falling off a cliff.
