T-Mobile Seeks Second Delay in Inflated-Sales Suit by Former Executive

T-Mobile needs a 14-day extension to Jan. 3 to answer the sex discrimination complaint of former sales executive Heidi Cramer, said its unopposed motion Thursday (docket 2:22-cv-03800) in U.S. District Court for Eastern Ohio in Columbus. T-Mobile requires additional time to investigate Cramer’s claims amid the upcoming holidays and scheduling conflicts, it said. The extension request is T-Mobile’s second. Cramer alleges she took the fall for the wrongdoing of two male colleagues who participated in a “zero dollars plan” scheme to inflate T-Mobile sales numbers to small- and medium-sized businesses (see 2210260038). The scheme enabled T-Mobile to “cast itself in a favorable light” with investors, she alleges, until the plan went awry in the second and third quarters of 2021.
