I've worked for more than one small company that has an unstated policy to not hire employees who live in CA or NY. It sounds like MI might wind up on that list. I know of certain employees who reside in that state right now who are pulling ridiculous hours just to keep the business alive. None of them were forced into it or are otherwise unhappy with the circumstances they find themselves in. I've had many opportunities to re-enter the W2 labor pool and decided to stay out in the high seas. Many moons ago, when I signed up to work at Samsung Austin Semiconductor they told me I might be responsible for odd hours. I agreed to this and had a pager strapped to my body until the day I quit the job 3 years later. No one seems to get weird about a doctor-style pager ripping employees out of slumber at 2am. The only time I got a break from the pager is when I was on a 777 on my way to South Korea. Then I got a new kind of pager when I arrived. Somehow teams messages and outlook are super evil by comparison to this.
