One thing I'm eternally grateful for is my current employer's staunch resistance to needless crunch/overtime/burnout. If anything, I get encouraged to use downtime and PTO for wellness, and not overdo it. We all do. It's a very welcome change in this business.
Never ceases to amaze me how many gamers and even some gamedevs will defend crunch and burnout. It's pathetic bootlicking. If your team needs to work unpaid overtime, or overtime for more than like 1 weekend (systemic crunch) you have failed as a leader

The company I work for offers 1.5 times your hourly rate for any overtime, but there is no pressure to do it. There is enough work to always require it, but you can do it if you need a bit of a boost on payday.
