I knew one guy. That was in the 90’s though. He ain’t worked there for a loooong time.
Comment on Optus CEO resigns in wake of nationwide outage
prime_factor@aussie.zone 10 months agoAs 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.
