In my case I was working on a big project that was due this week. Another project that I had never been involved with outside of someone needing something done "now" was slipping and really when you get down to it didn't have to go. So I worked all night Thursday, all day Friday, all night Friday night, all day yesterday and until 10:00 last night to get that all ready to go. Was in the office at 6:30 this morning and then got the axe.
The problem with the managment there is they plan everything piss poor and in a vaccuum. They set unreasonable timelines totally ignorant of the other projects they are working then want 1-2 people to just "make it happen". If you're working 50 hours a week they'd say work 55. If you were working 60 hours a week they'd say work 65.
You can only do that to someone so much. This was a regular expectation week in and week out. Weekends? WTF are those? You got a family? Big deal.
I'd come in the office between 6:30-7:00, most days eat my lunch at my desk, leave at 4:00-4:30, come home and get right back on the computer for another couple hours.
Meanwhile I sit there and watch one of the managers say how she has a life and can't work a bunch of OT. Ironically she was the one who barked out orders at everyone else and told them to work OT.
Leading by example was not one of the virtues in this department.

A lot of that sounds really familiar to my work situation. It's a blessing dude.
