Yeah, I worked at a job where certain areas had a black-out period and told myself never again - it's so fucking limiting. Especially for something that workers are entitled to. I hate how much we have to give up just to earn a wage. The role I'm in now has it's busy periods and it has its down periods, it really does depend on external factors which govern strategic decisions with project pipeline. I still maintain that if they can't cover one person's role for three weeks then how it that my problem? That's why managers get paid a higher wage, right? To manage?
