Anyone else constantly having internet drops with T Mobile fiber? We have Fiber + WiFi router so not much is hard lined in but we have CONSTANT internet drops. It was good for the first year or so but the last 2-3 months have just really kicked up - and when it has issues it usually lasts a couple days.

Also it’s annoying because every time we run a speed or internet test it comes back ok and aligned with what it should but loading any sort of streaming like YouTube/Netflix which is basically all we use it can’t last more than 2 minutes without buffering.

Obviously tried resetting/restarting and kicked off a majority of devices but wanted to know if anyone else is dealing with this and if they were able to fix it?

So I was terminated about a month ago from my role. I was a high performer and received my last review on March 23rd as “exceed expectations”. Shortly after I was moved to a new team, they called me the “first round draft pick” because they needed someone who could step in and become effective quickly. After 5 weeks of working for this guy (20 working days since I was on vacation for 1 week) I was terminated due to “unprofessional behavior toward leadership”.

During my termination meeting they refused to provide any examples and I requested my employee file and it had nothing in it. So I’m not really sure what I did but I know me and my new manager didn’t vibe. He constantly invited me to dinners where he would drink excessively, he missed 2 flights to come to the office in the short time he was manager, he texted me at 9:45 pm asking me to go to breakfast with him before work (which I denied), and constantly talked bad about other departments and past employees. Really not my style. I’m a young woman, with a strong positive personality who is generally friends with everyone. My personal work style is work hard play hard.

Now I accepted that my termination was legal but probably unethical or lacked true reasoning but it’s not worth me mulling over. I do think HR should have investigated it a little more but our HR there wasn’t as respected because it’s a construction environment and we work with a lot of unions.

Now yesterday my former coworker was laid off, he was a manager in my department (not mine but adjacent group). He had the same problems with the same manager. And because he was going to be transferred over there like I was, he knew he wouldn’t work well with that guy and voiced his concerns. During his lay off, his was for “elimination of the position” and essentially that they denied him being transferred because of “personality fit”. He got a severance and was okay with the outcome.

During his termination meeting he asked the HR rep if he could share information about the other manager. The HR report said yes and he went into a long list of things he has heard or experienced first hand with him. He mentioned my termination being unethical, the guys excessive drinking on the company card, the flights, his behavior and attitude toward other departments, etc. he said the HR lady’s jaw was on the floor and she was writing everything down. He said he didn’t expect it to change his outcome but wanted them to be aware of this.

I don’t expect this to change anything for me or him, I already landed another job and he personally would only go back if it was to his old role that was already eliminated.

But as an HR rep what would you do with this info? Does it hold any weight? Some of it does break company policy but most of the people that witnessed it are not there anymore.
I never bothered to report anything during or after my termination because I was black listed. I was planning to before I got aced. But the manager who was just laid off has the ability to be rehired. If HR investigated they would find more people who have seen the same. I only ask because I have a lot of good friends still left there and they are all worried about their jobs as his department is absorbing more of my old department.
