#2We just did that and blamed it on AI. Amazing how you can AI to increase stock price and bury things at the same time!
(And yes we are pissed about it)

#5Isn't this good?
I thought outsourcing meant we get cheaper goods like iPhones and laptops. Now we can outsource middle-class service jobs for cheaper services?

Its not simply outsourcing. Its using offshoring to hypocritically, dishonestly and deliberately trash native jobs and salaries, while (normally) maintaining those of the decision-makers.
I'm not against realistic economics and open markets leading to a more balanced world, but this is just shark-toothed capitalism with contempt for individuals and the societies the organisations exist in.

While that may be true, the ACS here is merely reporting on the story.
From the article:
> “FSU will take CBA to the Fair Work Commission over the issue”
(FSU being the Finance Sector Union, and Fair Work Commission being a governmental body that does have some powers.)
