They got paid overtime. People act like it's slave labor and they were whipped into submission.

I've mentioned this before, but structural engineering can be a lot like this. Depending on the office, it's not uncommon to be putting in 60 hour weeks as new engineer, especially as projects comes to a close. In more extreme offices, this can go as high as 70-80, but those are usually the more famous firms and cynically managed companies. But companies are usually have to pay straight over time because those hours are typically a fraction of the price on the budget. This of course varies by office, but since the industry is bid based you can only be so good to your employees before you start losing bids. It's also interesting because it's not uncommon for an experienced engineer to start their own structural engineering firm away from the huge companies, not unlike certain developers.

Makes me wonder if this is just how it is with project based careers. Structural engineering is also in a weird place where services might start getting outsourced. I know I have a friend that works in an office which sends some engineering written to India for reports and recommendations submitted in Texas.
