Australian airline Qantas to axe 850 jobs at HQ, shift work to India

Qantas is planning to outsource around 850 head-office jobs to Accenture, significantly affecting its Australian workforce. This transition will involve business functions like finance, human resources, and marketing being delivered from India. Employees have expressed concerns about job security, as assurances previously given by Qantas are being contradicted. The airline aims to retain employees through redeployment and retraining opportunities as part of this agreement.
