If I knew anyone being pressured to do something that I'd be fuming, if someone tried to pressure me to do that I'd be fuming, even if I worked somewhere where that was simply expected, I'd be annoyed, but the truth is that I love those high pressure situations, I thrive in them, I kind of miss the fact that I don't get faced with them very often any more. It sounds like that guy does too.

Yeah, but what that piece is missing is the pressure and often manipulative ways that people have been forced into crunch - "oh the whole rest of the team is staying tonight, but that's okay, go home to your family." Cmon pal, you know it's not as black and white as being voluntary.
I work in a job I'd describe as rather high pressure and I know for a fact if I'd asked someone to stay back with me on a late night I'd feel awful .
