Any person, young or old, should steer wide of telecom which is a capital intensive business subject to large bo-m-bust cycles resulting in ever present layoffs and dead end careers. Ever since the IT people took over in the early 2000s, it's been an endless rip and replace operation and a meat grinder for anyone employed in it. You'll get worked long hours for stagnant pay then kicked out the door on a whim.
I not scared. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ decide if I layoff or not. Can get amen?
I recommend rest and vest. Put in your 40. No more, no less and look for a new job at a stable company. The choices you Don’t make will be made for you by someone else if you don’t take control. Be the master of your destiny not slave to tmo.
Just do as little as possible and bleed the beast.
Not 100% true but not far off. Bad leadership in most departments, I would say don't pass up on opportunities elsewhere. Bonus, raises and promotions are getting harder to obtain. Operations is the worse, more work with less people and budget.
