> If you think the crisis is temporary and a one-off, it might be worth it to log long hours for a month or two

I understand your point, but I'm going to have to disagree with you here. In a company run that irrationally, if you think the crisis is temporary and a one-off, let's be honest, the probability of this really being the case is smaller than the probability that you have talked yourself into believing what you so badly want to believe.
