I also think that some of the bigger companies are sending a "be happy you still have a job" message to those people raising a stink about the long hours and requests for overtime.
I know they did that in our department and I know we are getting the message from our CIO 'be happy you still have a job'. I've heard that he is quite tired of hearing we don't have enough resources to do everything that needs to be done - even if it is the truth.
