I wasn't one of the 2000+ people, but yes, there were people doing that (working long days 7 days a week). One guy would actually sometimes sleep in his car. People weren't doing the same number of hours every day though. Also, there were some weird incentives. If you worked past 9PM, you got 10% extra pay on all of the hours you worked that day, so a lot of people (including myself - though not all of the time) would work past 9.
