Saw the signs coming.
One day this week I was still around at 6:30 pm due to an oversight, and other developers started doing takeaway pizza orders. Sudden need for overtime, in other words.
Next day, 3 progress meetings in 1 day. Always a sign that more progress is urgently needed, as if meetings would make it so.
Today, it seems that all bugs must be fixed by Monday morning, so weekend OT all round. PM was even ringing round people who are on vacation, to get them to do the weekend.
Damn. I don't recall seeing "Death March" in the contract requirements.
