That's crunch time.
A death march project takes months or even years, ruins the health of the workers and takes years off their lives, destroys their marriages and causes them to lose their children, leaves them believing they failed personally rather than being victims of poor leadership, and so forth. Outright literal death is uncommon but not unheard of.
- ma2rten 15y agoI am not sure if I should respond to this, given that the submission is already long gone from the homepage and this discussion did already go out of hand, but ... Like OP's title I used a hyperbole to make a point and that should be clear from the context in my opinion. I apologize in case you have fallen a victim to this phenomenon, I did not mean to trivialize this problem either. However, if what you are suggesting is that what you have been though is comparable to the victims of the Holocaust, you should get a reality check.
