T-Mobile ends DEI policies to secure FCC approval on two deals

“We recognise that the legal and policy landscape surrounding DEI under federal law has changed and we remain fully committed to ensuring that T-Mobile does not have any policies or practices that enable invidious discrimination, whether in fulfilment of DEI or any other purpose,” he said.

He added that they previously described some aspects of their company culture and practices as DEI because they want to create a culture that makes employees feel supported.

“Our belief then and now is that skills, aptitude, and a growth mindset are what contribute to exceptional performance — and that merit is how you advance at our company, regardless of who you are or where you’re from,” Nelson said.

‘Another good step forward’

Carr acknowledged T-Mobile’s move in a post on X.

“Another good step forward for equal opportunity, nondiscrimination, and the public interest,” he said.
