The largest telecommunications company in Australia, Telstra, has outsourced 1500 jobs to India. It previously outsourced its directories division in 2006, while complaining about the lack of programmers available in Australia saying that only 1200 new software engineers have become available in the workforce in the last 12 months compared to 44,000 in India. This move is the latest in a series to offshore IT work to India.
How long until all of the IT in Telstra is moved to India?

Telstra is LYING in an effort to make their behavior look less objectionable.
This reminds me of a lowlife idiot I knew who committed adultery while his WIFE was 8 months pregnant. His "reasoning" was that since his wife didn't want to have sex he was forced to get sex from another woman. This is a true story. It does have a happy ending though.
The wife in question was obscenely wealthy and she divorced her cheating husband who now drives a shitty old Volvo and lives in a shitty apartment, this while he is 67 years old and without any plan which will enable him to live comfortably when he is no longer able to work. I love it when assholes get what they deserve.

I don't know why I threatened myself, guess I really do deserve to be punished.
