Telstra Sends 300 Jobs Overseas


Telstra's (ASX:TLS) cost-saving measures will send 300 jobs to India under its Project New efficiency program.

IT services suppliers from India would take over the tasks of more than 100 agency providers and about 160 of Telstra's own staff. Mainly administrative jobs in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane are going to be outsourced.

Possible Staff Cuts for Macquarie


Hundreds of jobs could be lost as the Macquarie Group, (ASX:MQG) faces a weak investment market. For the first time since early 2009, Macquarie shares dropped below $30 last week and prompted a Citigroup analyst to recommend workforce cuts.

Macquarie wages have recently fallen below international averages and staff had already been lost to Asian companies with more lucrative offers, according to chief executive Nicholas Moore.
