14 Telus Corp President & CEO Darren Entwistle Total Salary: $12,905,331 (2018)
The biggest problem with the way that we are doing things is, the more we let you have, the less I’ll be keeping for me.
Well I used to stand for something
Now I’m on my hands and knees
Traded in my God for this one
And he signs his name with a capital.. D
Why does a CEO’s salary always have to come into play? They make that money for a reason. Don’t try and diminish their salary just because you aren’t happy with your cell service fees.
If they can afford to pay such a salary they don’t need to be charging excessively for cell services. Highest in the world by far.
Two and a half months ago, you can get $60/10GB unlimited talk+text…
How is this a Promo??? My personal phone is $40 4GB with 1000 minutes int’l calling from Black Friday the year before. My work phone is $48 5GB with 1000 minutes int’l calling. My wife is on the $60 10GB promo.
I’m assuming this is for new customers only, or are they raising everyone’s prices?
I think when you go to renew you will pay the new rates. If you’re under contract then nothing changes. But then when you want to go to BYOP price it will be the current market. If you’re under BYOP already it shouldn’t go up, but you never know for the future months. I remember reading the famous $30 + $30 6 GB of data that everyone seemed to have every year they would get a letter saying the price will increase.
I’m on the 10gb for $60. Guess time will tell…..
We’re paying way too much for cellular in Canada. Someone has to do something.
In QC, that 12GB data add-on is $40. Making the province-wide plan $85, and $95 for nation-wide.
This add-on gets on promotion at $25.
