>To be honest, the owner of a company I worked for loved to go to Aruba, while I worked 20/7, which I did for three months straight. I completed a major hardware/software design for the military (our customer). We received millions of dollars in contracts and my "reward" was I was also given the job of production engineer, in addition to electronics design engineer and software programmer. So I called a friend, and got a job at a different place.

I worked in a place that had a project outsourced to Arthur Anderson. Unsurprisingly the contract was a year behind schedule and twice budget. They took over the project with in-house resources and started requiring 65 hour work weeks. They expected this workload to continue for another 9 months or more. After several weeks the turnover started up. To stem the flow the company announced a bonus to those that would stick around. It was $1000. Management was astonished when the flow became a flood. Two years later a cut-down version was finally implemented.
