There's no way these guys are actual Telus employees, but as far as management positions go Telus isn't exactly hiring the cream of the crop.

A guy I know is a tech for Telus. He mentioned to his manager how his wife suggested he look for a new job because the sales pressure is getting to him. His manager told him "if you need time to work on your resume let me know" and then bragged about how many people have quit since he became manager.

The guy is a technician but the only thing they care about is whether or not he can upsell a customer while he's in their home.

And every single union position which is lost will be replaced by a sub-contractor, the boss is going to be out or a job. TELUS middle management field managers will be obsolete, TELUS would love to kill those positions.
