Solid pay. Challenging and rewarding career. You can gain a lot of valuable experience to take elsewhere.

This stress is pushed down to everyone else until, inevitably, coworkers start blaming each other because all are exhausted, and no one wants to work another weekend.
Speak truth to your superiors; stop being such yes men/women. The attrition is not sustainable.
