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"

Just need to pump those numbers up. Pay me $2000/hr and I'll work 12 hour shifts. Pay me $4000/hr and I'll work 24 hour shifts. $10k/hour and you'll have me doing a 60 hour work day.

Don't ask how it happens. Just trust me and pay me six months upfront.

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).
