== Link: Why overtime is bad for everyone The really interesting bit of [[Why Crunch Mode Doesn't Work: 6 Lessons http://www.igda.org/articles/erobinson_crunch.php]] for me can be summed up in the lead-in: > There's a bottom-line reason most industries gave up crunch mode > over 75 years ago: It's the single most expensive way there is to > get the work done. The article elaborates this, and makes for interesting reading. In the same area is [[Hours of Work in U.S. History http://eh.net/encyclopedia/article/whaples.work.hours.us]], if one wants another set of data. (Unfortunately I have lost where I got the first link from.)
