No sign of recession around here. Houses are springing up like bad weeds. The contract I’m working on, which had contracted during the bammy years, has more than doubled in size since President Trump took office. We are actually out of room at our site and are subcontracting out at other sites... Recession? Ha!
I’ve been on a short-term gig for the past month that was originally supposed to be a part-time, 20-hour per week deal. Last week, I was asked to work 30 hours and next week, I’ve already been approved to work overtime (greater than 8 hours) for 2 and possibly 3 days.
Yup, we’re in a real economic downturn! A far cry from when my former employer dumped me as part of a “Reduction in Force” for some cheaper workers on another continent.
