Not to mention that it doesn't yield higher output. So it's stupid on every level.

7,5h per day is an absolute maximum for a standard workday. Crunches are sometimes fine if there's a good reason, but they probably need to be followed by extended rest.

Yeah, that is also a factor. You can't expect good work from somebody who has been working for 60 hours for years without having a vacation.
