Comment on Optus CEO resigns in wake of nationwide outage

I wouldn’t blame this on the engineers. They’ve probably asked for more redundancy and got denied because it’s too expensive.
Optus doesn’t sound like the type of company that would make sure their engineers/developers get the support they need.

As an engineer in the Aussie Telco industry, I know a lot of people that work for Telstra, or companies under the TPG group.
However I don’t know anyone that works for Optus.

Interesting point, especially given all the bad IT practices at Optus that have hit the news the last year or so - and that’s just the bits we know about.
Smells like management have a lack of respect for IT and there’s a distinct lack of seniority. Telstra can afford to employ the best - and have to - to satisfy the requirements of their large government/defence customer base. Optus IT seem to be a bunch of Yes people who do the wrong thing frequently, probably under pressure from the hierarchy.

I knew one guy. That was in the 90’s though. He ain’t worked there for a loooong time.
