    have always worked with critical production environments where things have to stay up.

    Me too, they just expected us to work 100 hours a week when something broke.

    I’m 25 years into my career now and know enough these days to say “no” when they ask for unreasonable things like that. It can sit broken for all I care.

      I am sorry my man. I am pushing 30 years on my career so I feel your pain. That’s bad management and basically our bread and butter these days. They paint themselves into a corner and then pray they can summon an elder god to save their hide.

        It’s all good. It was only really that bad at one job, a long time ago. Now I am the one counseling my teammates for work life balance and not to let themselves be taken advantage of by the company!
