dude you hit the nail on the head here. we worked all that overtime because she pulled 3/4s of our people from our team for a side/pet project and ignored our main contract customer for 4 months. resulting in us having to eat 1800 hours of OT between september and christmas. Then because of that ,the customer decided to cut the number of people on our team from 11, to 4. I got lucky, made the cut but now, we're way way way behind on stuff as we have the same amount of work, actually even more work, that we had with 11 people but with 4. So now, they're talking about hiring some people back again.
