CBA to cut another 224 jobs! Info sessions for affected members

Unfortunately, last week we saw yet another announcement from CBA that they are cutting more jobs. CBA continue to make billions in profits off the back of your hard work – its employees. In return, and in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, they have decided to cut a total of 224 jobs across the following areas:

  • 3 cuts in Global Markets business – offshore banking unit (NSW)
  • 25 cuts in Financial Services and Risk Management (NSW x 19, Vic x 2, WA x 4)
  • 38 cuts in the x15 venture (Cheddar online app) (NSW x 34, Vic x 2, QLD x 2)
  • 158 cuts in Chief Operations Office and Technology including 18 jobs being outsourced (NSW x 141, Vic x 5, QLD x 3, WA x 12, SA x 1)
