Welcome! I’m a financial planner who used to work at T-Mobile.

Now, I help T-Mobile employees and their families live great lives!

The company’s added holidays over the years. These days are an important part of total compensation that help employees recharge.

How have they changed?

While I worked there, T-Mobile added five corporate holidays:

  • Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

  • Juneteenth (June 19th)

  • Veterans Day

  • Two (2) floating holidays

The floating holidays are “use it or lose it” so it generally makes sense to take them before year end.

T-Mobile’s benefits are robust.

Added MLK Day

Unfortunately, less than half of American companies observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

I was so thankful when T-Mobile added it as a paid holiday!

The worst part wasn’t using a day of Paid Time Off (PTO). It was having a “get behind day.” Work piled up when everyone else worked.

Hey, thanks for reading my take on T-Mobile’s holidays.

As a reminder, I share a lot of resources that can help you.
