Received an offer to join BT Telecom in Q1, but concerned about the merger of Global and Enterprise. Any advice?

Would stay away from that mess (16 year telecoms veteran) it would be a king post to explain but DM me if you want details

The industry is in a very hard spot, with work coming in for next year. My advice would be to look at a company that provides fiber delivery OSP type work performing Arial fiber Install or underground fiber install. Looks like this will be where most carriers invest their money to get the backhaul "pipeline" up to date for small cell expansion in the future. Currently, they are saying the backhaul infrastructure is 5 years behind nationwide. Might be a career path you want to consider before trying a traditional telecom company that is focused on tower work.

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
