TELUS reviews

Spending millions to save nickles and dimes. Seeing good Canadian jobs outsourced to the Phillipines and India. With more and more work not related to your actual job being thrust upon you, not enough time left in the day to do efficiently what you thought you were trained for and they paid you to do. I firmly believe it is "engineered failure" to get rid of the rest of the bargaining unit employees.This company has evolved into operating in a totally reactive rather than proactive manner over the last 7 or 8 years. The customers are sufferring and going elsewhere, the employees are not all happy nor a cohesive team anymore, and even the shares are tanked and they were before this recent recession took a grip.

You can have 30 plus years of service, yet cannot get time off because TELUS keeps playing with the numbers within your work group so that only one of you can be off at a time. This is not the same within all the work groups, but is quite common. Fellow workers who crossed your picket line, are now your Supervisors. Depending upon your work group, concerned you will even have a job as TELUS leadership has no loyalty to the workers who helped make us a once proud "top ten company"; and have choosen during this downturn in our economy to terminate employees; to instead hire "overseas" workers. Thus hurting our own economy. Knowing that $150 million dollars was paid out in 2008 for bonuses, yet the actual workers received some 25% of that. Which means, upper Management continue to line their pockets at the expense of shareholders. To now have to work for a company in which "greed" for profit is the only driving force behind TELUS. When you have a CEO in untouchable control of a once Great Corporation and all you can do is watch it crumble, from department to department; and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it; except walk away and retire. Then you find, Mr. Entwhisle wants to gain control of your pension fund. "When will this nightmare end?"
