The truth is that everyone takes the money when it's available.
Even if you "knew" a recession was coming and that you were overhiring/overspending, you get far less flak overall for riding the gravy train to the end, then making cuts along with everyone else, than for appearing to be overly conservative and not growing as fast as you could during the boom.
Taking the money and spending it while you can is the equivalent of buying IBM. No one else in your circle will fault you for it when things go south, because they all did the same.
