The company that promised to add jobs by merging with Sprint now appears to be laying off hundreds of employees.

T-Mobile did not immediately respond to a request for comment or explain how it's going to honor commitments made prior to the merger that the combined entity would result in more jobs, not fewer. Mergers typically lead to the elimination of redundant positions and in the case of wireless, redundant stores are closed as well.
