Yes but the schedule says it should be done so we need to make it happen or the company will go bust. Come on guys we need you to work harder, everyone is putting in overtime to make this happen and you are being negative and telling us you can’t do it, what are we paying you for?

Give me a pay raise and I'll put in the hours.

I actually said at one point "extra money can't buy me sleep or time with my family"

For double the pay, I'd work overtime to get something done - if I like it. I used to work 50-60 hour weeks with no overtime pay (yes, yes, I was exploited). Had I been paid overtime and at double the rate, it would've pushed my annual salary to 1.5-2x . But my guess is that either the manager would've been fired for being shit, I would've been fired for costing too much, or they would've simply hired another engineer to join the team (we did need more engineers).
