I think it's a matter of degree. A two week crunch time every 6 months is OK, maybe even beneficial. Every month though? Not OK, and definitely detrimental.

Being overworked nearly 10% of the time is not "OK"

Depends how often you're underworked.

If people are overworked 10% and underworked 10% (or any other similar number) that's an "project management smell". I wouldn't want to work there.

Unless they offer tons of vacation. :-)

I think I dislike underworking as much as overworking.
