I don't understand or condone the potshot, but the truth is, we don't know enough to say if this load-in, build and tech will require lots of overtime or not. Maybe it will; or maybe the producers you seem as as quick to criticize as the earlier poster was the stagehands know that something you don't about the requirements for getting their show (which they have already done elsewhere) up and running. There is nothing "inevitable" about it, and the fact that your knee jerk reaction is that there is really fans the flames of stage hand hate. Could it turn out to be "absurd" or "ridiculous"? Sure. But it's also possible that the producers and production management know exactly what they are doing. There is nothing inherently wrong with this timing. Many shows around the world would never dream of taking two weeks to load in and out and get their show up. What's scary is that you seem to assume be oblivious to anything but complications. If you turn out to be right, and it legitimately takes 2 solid weeks of 14 hour days, then shame on everyone and yes pay the stagehands for bailing out their stupidity.
