freitasm: The email may be fake, and a cruel joke, seeing there are rumours of 20+ redundancies at Chorus and Telecom Wholesale today.

Ragnor: Yeah sounds like it's Chorus de-merger related.

Ragnor: Yeah sounds like it's Chorus de-merger related.

forgot to say that the real message is nothing to do with staffing, just information for customers around the work restictions due to the election and christmas. completely normal practice for the Telco industry.

As we go through the demerger process, parts of Telecom Wholesale will move into New Chorus and others into the Wholesale Central Product Office - often people who miss out on their first choice role will have second or third options available. While we can't say there won't be any disestablished roles as a part of this change, New Chorus is moving from 275 employees to over 500 and we're looking to actively recruit internally first. Retaining institutional knowledge is critical to New Chorus' success - suggestions of wide spread job losses as a result of this change is absolutely wrong.

For the teams at Wholesale and Chorus, this kind of change can be disruptive and cause uncertainty - we’re doing our best to look after our people as we work towards demerger.
