FAILING. It is Bankrupt. I would rather you take a pay cut than have my tax money bail your ass out. That's life. Deal with it.
You are obviously naive. A reserve guy might work 5 days a month but not all months. Some months he most likely works more. Also, reserve is no picnic. It is not easy to be on a short leash, unable to plan doctors and other appointments etc. The days of high income/little work are long gone.
