  @sarkonakj Telus and Rogers have been outsourcing help desk offshore for years. With Shaw, support was 'local' - can't count the number of times I talked to Nanaimo, or Winnipeg.

  @deliaflower1 You probably got someone in Pakistan. I had to get help from the BBB once before a Canadian Tech from Telus called me and fixed the problem.

  @terrynewman As an @TELUS customer, I would love to be able to speak to a real human in this country! It's getting harder to speak to anyone when dealing with them. Have a problem? They'll call you back in a day or two maybe.

  @johnnycakes91 Happens pretty frequently with Telus/Rogers. Telus in particular is bad because their agent bill things wrong pretty frequently and they just dump the file on Telus after they do the sell

  @caroltreardon @bcndp Telus is the first corp. I realized was completely unethical in Canada. We STILL need to go after corps like this. It absolutely should die off- & they sure as s*it shouldn’t have access to anyone’s medical records… 🙄😒🤔👀 Never mind any further public trust from ppl.

  I am the Director of Voice Experience Innovation at Telus International. Six months ago, my team deployed a real-time accent harmonization layer across our Southeast Asian call centers. The agent speaks. The system listens. The customer hears Ohio. I keep a demo reel on my laptop. Before and after. The before sounds like a woman in Manila who went to university in Quezon City and has been resolving billing disputes for nine years. The after sounds like a woman who might be in a strip mall in Columbus. Same words. Same syntax. Same problem-solving. The only thing we change is the part that makes the customer hang up. The metrics are on slide eleven of my board deck. I'm looking at it right now: Customer satisfaction: up 23 percent. Average handle time: down 40 seconds. Escalation requests: down 31 percent. My VP asked what drove the improvement. I said, "Reduced communication friction." Which is technically true. The friction was that our customers don't like talking to people who sound foreign. We didn't fix that. We made it so they never have to know. The system processes voice in 11-millisecond intervals. It maps phonemic patterns to General American English midpoint targets. Internally we call these targets "anchor voices." The anchor voices were generated from 4,000 hours of NPR pledge drive recordings. We picked NPR specifically because listener studies show it's the accent American consumers trust most with their credit card number. (The agent hears themselves the whole time. Their own voice in their own headset. They just know that somewhere in those 11 milliseconds, a machine decides that what they actually sound like isn't something a customer in Phoenix will tolerate for the length of a billing inquiry.) Employee 7734 in our Manila hub asked to hear the output. We played it for her in a breakout room — the one with the motivational poster about "Bringing Your Whole Self to Work." She listened for six seconds. Pulled her headset down around her neck. Went quiet. Then she said, "Is that what they need me to be?" Her CSAT scores are in the 94th percentile. She clocks in every morning at 7:45. I should explain the economics because they're elegant: we hired agents in the Philippines at $4 an hour. We spent $11 million on a system that makes them sound like they cost $35 an hour. The delta is the product. We don't sell accent correction. We sell the gap between what a worker costs and what a customer requires them to sound like. The system doesn't work in reverse. If a customer with a heavy accent calls in, we don't smooth their voice for our agents. Harmonization flows one direction. Toward the customer. Away from the worker. Always uphill. Three agents requested transfers to text-based channels last quarter. They said they felt "disconnected from their own calls." My HR partner coded it as an engagement issue. Recommended a team outing. Bowling, I think. Every morning, 14,000 agents open their mouths and a machine makes a decision about what comes out the other end. They perform the labor. We perform the correction. The customer performs their preference. Nobody performs anything wrong.

  @MTe005 @unclehaver the enemy of my enemy is my friend. i hate nimby's too, but if we can agree that a massive water and electricity black hole that benefits nobody but the feds and telus sucks, then at least they have a few more functioning neurons than the techbros on twitter defending this ****.

  @Wiserfool2 @CDInewsletter I bought Telus several years ago for the dividend yield but I’m now down about 40% on the share price. I’m just waiting for the right price to dump it
