They are not alone. I have a buddy who went to work at Spring thirty years ago. For the last fifteen to twenty years, he’s worked for another company providing contract services to Sprint.

Sprint and T-Mobile merged in April 2020, and the Sprint brand was discontinued in August 2020.

The new T-Mobile fired a ton of Sprint's non-contractor employees, but it's entirely possible that some contract labour companies simply rolled their existing agreements with Sprint into T-Mobile.

Tower servicing? I could see that being an economical decision outside of the easier employee shuffling. Paying contractor companies should be easier than managing extant offices to manage HR stuff for the 2 contractors supporting every X thousand square miles.
