    @Teh_Jkr @Optus Look into new customer deals… If you find one that suits cancel your current plan and sign up with a new one. Loyalty gets you nowhere with them OR Telstra they’ve done the same.

    @gomichild Never mind that my back injury is what forced me from retail into admin, and I’d been doing purchasing and sales admin for years. I kept having to remind her I wasn’t obligated to apply for random jobs, and I certainly wasn’t going to apply for a job interview a Telstra shop!

    @WhereMyOstrich @ausstockchick No need to respond in such a derogatory manner. Here is the list, I pulled this from Grok in app you can verify it easily. Recent major Australian companies announcing significant domestic layoffs and offshoring of corporate/white-collar roles — Woolworths, Officeworks, Telstra, and NAB — have timed these moves amid sharp rises in domestic employment costs. • Woolworths (early June 2026) is offshoring hundreds of head-office roles in IT, finance, and HR to India/Philippines as part of cost-cutting to stay competitive with Aldi and Amazon. • Officeworks (late May 2026) is shifting hundreds of support, customer service, and tech roles to Bengaluru and Manila, boosted by AI/automation. • Telstra (earlier 2026) cut hundreds of roles (up to 650 in rounds) with work moving offshore to India. • NAB has expanded offshore teams in India/Vietnam (adding 1,000+ roles) while managing Australian redundancies. This wave aligns closely with escalating domestic labour costs: The national minimum wage and award rates rose 3.5% from July 2025, superannuation guarantee hit 12%, and the Fair Work Commission announced further increases effective July 2026 (4.75% on awards, ~5.9–6% on the minimum wage to $26.44/hour). Combined with weak productivity growth, higher on-costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, etc.), and strong wage pressures, this has widened the cost gap versus offshore locations where skilled roles can be 30–70% cheaper. Companies cite these factors — plus efficiency drives — as key reasons for prioritising offshoring while protecting or growing frontline retail/store jobs domestically. This reflects a broader 2025–2026 trend among Aussie firms responding to cost-arbitrage opportunities in a high-wage, lower-productivity environment.

    I spent nearly an hour on the phone to @VodafoneAU and while the consultant was really nice, I wasn’t asked to do anything that I hadn’t already thought about and done myself in relation to the network outage . I had another brief outage about 90 minutes ago, and the interesting thing from this phone conversation with Vodafone was that this outage today affected every network, which is absolutely and categorically untrue . Did the consultant really think I couldn’t find who was affected or knew about MVNOs? This type of stuff might work on lay people, but it doesn’t work on me. If you’re not being ruthlessly gouged by @telstra, you’re being told BS from TPG’s Vodafone Australia. I do not expect 100% fault-free internet or Voice services, that’s just ridiculous. But I do expect timely information on outages, no evasions, and finally a proper explanation as to what went wrong because the idea of a power fault in this day and age of priority communications seems laughable. @acmadotgov

    @Kate3015 It’d really not that hard to spot but to the untrained eye they always look legitimate. My husband a case in point. He doesn’t click on the link but always asks me how to deal with it. Every time I,show- block the email via,the contact card, delete, simple. Government departments never send you anything, just a notification to go to My Gov. Telstra has the email in the App. If it’s not there it’s not real. There are couple I can think of.

    @cyberpunkdingo Yes, Telstra as you mentioned did a signed deal with Infosys. 600 jobs gone, all local IT contracting staff were retrenched. Then they use some onshore workers to run the service but the workers are mainly offshore. NAB also partnered with Accenture this failed miserably.

    @Telstra GREEDY ARSEHOLES!!! Isn't it funny how Telstra, that great Australian company, keeps ignoring me? If someone from lovely Telstra does reach out to me they won’t want to discuss my concerns in public. We want to help you, Tony. Please private DM us.

    Just been asked to complete an oxymoron. A Telstra customer satisfaction survey. Reminded me of a 1980s Telecom survey that found customers hated them, leads to a management recommendation to educate customers…(who they called “subscribers”)

  • SixG369

    AI helped me save $270 a year tonight. Not by doing anything fancy. It just helped me survive the telco maze. The Optus bill started at $251.30/month. After a long support chat, it dropped to $228.80/month. That is $22.50/month saved. $270/year. The real win was not the discount. The real win was AI helping me: - Ask better questions - Check the maths - Avoid payout traps - Push past the first “best offer” - Get the final number confirmed in writing They first offered a small plan downgrade. Then we asked about loyalty. Then retention. Then the numbers did not add up. AI spotted the issue. One plan change had not actually been processed. So, we pushed again. Final result: Old bill: $251.30/month New bill: $228.80/month Yearly saving: $270 AI did not magically save me money. It just stopped me from giving up while the telco maze tried to win. Next target: Telstra internet.

    @joey8bitz @1WeakGuttedDog Using the network doesn’t mean they get the same priority and boost speeds are also capped otherwise there would be no benefit going with Telstra and paying more. I get what you’re trying to say but your comprehension is terrible.

    Dear @telstra? What do you make of this? The fact that apparently you are to be seen as selling a paying customer down the river for not only the last year and half but the next 6+ months as well? Can you believe @TelstraAU did this ? ~ December James Grey.

    @ronInBendigo @RaymondKeown3 The Belong (Telstra) plan is $25 only once you have activated a service with them it will appear when you go to change plans via their app. 10GB data per month with rollover, if you ever exceed it, it doesn't charge extra just slows to 1Mbps.

    Don't Listen to words. Watch their actions. (@wakeuptotheleft) reported

    @DarcyMiddleton @AmeliaBee7 It’s not trans hysteria mate, we moved my two nieces from a public school to a private one as they were allowing a boy to shower with 12 year old girls and when the parents went down to the school they teachers were attacking the girls and offering to re educate them , where I currently work ,the young kids that work there also go to a government school and a 16 year old is now allowed to shower with the girls and this **** has hit the fan at that school. It happens is workplaces too, I worked for Telstra for 12 years and then another big corporate for 10, we had a gym on site for all staff and it used to be quite busy before and after work as it was free. Then the morons announced their trans policy and allowed the males to shower and undress with the females. No one complained because they know they’d get in trouble and 95 per cent just stopped using the facility, meanwhile on teams everyone is talking about how ****** it is and how no one can say a word. This is issue plays a big part.
