You are immersed in a Death March. The whole purpose of this strategy is to get you to work as many hours as possible and charge your company for as few of them as possible. I assume you are on salary, not hourly. This means that every hour of overtime you work is an hour your giving away for free. The whole idea behind the pep talk is to convince you to give your boss as much free time as you can. [quote] [b]paritycheck said:[/b] for now I'm pretty much disregarding whatever ridiculous deadline the boss is throwing at me and just going to work at my maximum sustainable pace. [/quote] If you've made up your mind to stay there, that is the only reasonable approach to the problem. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
