@kev I briefly worked at a games company who had never done "crunch" before, and ended up on a disastrous project that was way behind schedule. They insisted we shift to a 60-hour week (with no extra pay), just before Christmas. Needless to say, I resigned.
In my exit interview, the CTO tried to convince me it was a *privilege* to work through crunch periods, and a bonus of working for a games company.

Wouldn't it be better to start working 29 hours a week and wait for them to fire you.
In the remaining 20 hours you can search for a new job.

@rastinza @kev I didn't enjoy the job anyway, and employment doesn't work like that in the UK. Getting fired from a full-time job is quite difficult here - you have to commit gross misconduct or something similar.
This was years ago, it's ancient history now.
