Though I’m not sure about the insurance implications/ costs, Masterpiece Dental at 441 Stuart Street, 4th floor, Boston is excellent.

It’s a term of endearment, quite common in the British Isles and several other parts of the Anglosphere

As I understand it, the current contracts only lets them promote into the roles they need from people with sufficient seniority. If you don't have enough people with 5 years of experience or whatever (I don't know the exact number) they can't fill the roll until someone earns the necessary seniority.
Which is, yes, a shitty contract that no one should have signed. Colored me surprised that the MBTA boxed themselves in by signing a bunch of shit contracts.
I could be wrong though, this is all hearsay.

OK, then not sure what you meant by owner...the contractor maybe?
Edit: I seem to be getting downvoted for a stupid question - but OP stealth-edited...

I do. Sorry, by "owner" I meant owner of the contractor company that Comcast hired to do the work.

I just don’t understand why either party would sign a contract that prevented them from hiring enough people to do the job. Even if it does take such a long time, wouldn’t you take that into consideration and start the process sooner?

This is the most nonsensical thing I have read today and I hate both companies.

This would only makes sense if fires were black. Only then could leave it to the police to beat out a fire.

Honestly a great idea. Replace the police with firefighters they seem super upstanding and less likely to shoot you bc you’re jaywalking

Fiber doesn't require a trench. They have a machine that lays it down with just a slit in your lawn.

If it’s to the corner of your house where utilities come in, there may be a utility easement.

You’d think, after sticking yourself with a multi year time delay to hire an employee, that you’d want to start that process as soon as possible, instead of letting it get so bad that the federal government had to jump in and tell you you were dangerously understaffed.
