And an email advising internet price is going up. Forget supermarkets, how about a government inquiry into Telstra.

Privatisation has worked a treat hasnt it.

[@dustingoldsworthy7303]

The argument that most of the workforce can retrain to work with AI is a bit of a joke.. 2800 axed in an instant! .

That's the first time I laughed at this show. Good stuff Sarah 😂

[@iankearns774]

Been over 10 years since I laughed at it.

Telstra's CEO says, "Believe me, we are good people"

[@sonjakozman1699]

Good job everyone, we let the politicians accept corporate donations and now you realise they aren't working for the public

[@arclux]

Yes, AI is why they are cutting jobs 🙄

[@netsiteing]

this has nothing to do with AI people … or very very little

[@turbyoulance]

What's the capital city of Telstra ? Answer > India......lolololol

[@cracknoir8397]

thank you come again hehehehe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WhiskeyFatimah]

From my experience the Telstra workforce are the most clueless and incompetent on top of inexperienced. Don't sack 3,000 only, sack 30,900 workers they are freaking useless but a nuisance

infosys staff from India took my job!

[@hzhou9338]

they'll hire contractors at much higher rate to fix the mess.

[@iankearns774]

They already took a lot of jobs years ago, my sister was with them 25 years and they retrenched her in 2018 after she had trained a group of Indians to do her job. She was getting paid too much.

[@saviofrancisfernandes413]

For those that do not know - The wife of Rishi Sunak (UK Prime Minister) is the daughter of the Infosys owner and she is worth more than USD 850 million as she owns some Infosys shares in her Dad's company and still maintains her Indian citizenship. Now, after this latest Testra AI contract, she will become more richer.

[@brokenSnake]

Infosys? Yeah Telstra is screwed. Really really bad.

[@kristianlumb4617]

And they cut costs with mobile phone reception too......😊

[@dodgybobsdiscountfuel]

Yep, Boost is garbage now too.

[@user-xv9jm6jx9n]

It was funny and then classic the project feel like they have to apologise for everything .

[@shaqisumari304]

Well, if you use Microsoft its better

[@dustingoldsworthy7303]

Businesses will move faster on AI than AI legislators. Clever Telstra.
