My recession feels a whole lot like the last 7 years. My employer's business is way TOO good. I would like it to die down A LOT. I am constantly offered opportunities for positions allowing 24/7 work for 12 months at a time. When I decline to volunteer anymore – I still am afforded the position anyway. No pay increase with those positions of course, but damn, business is good. I still accrue 30 days paid vacation each year but I can't find time to use it – that's how good business is.
But then I mount up and roll out just like yesterday…and the day before…and the month before…and the year before.
My employer? You guessed it. The U.S. Army.
