What could you possibly be working on Accenture that is so important to require constant 16 hours? Make less mistakes if that’s the reason you’re working so much.

Agree it sounds like a leadership failure. They need to learn about a thing called “expectations management.”
I would rally the team and push back to a more realistic timeline and everyone should take next week off since you’ve already burned your 40 hours for next week. (This mindset is why I don’t get along in B4.)

How long has this been going on? Definitely escalate to EM or EP if it’s becoming unsustainable. Better to have a well rested quality team than one run down.

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work . BUT managers are terrible at planning and recently end up putting me in preventable situations where I need to work 55 hrs or have the staff work the 55 hours. I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?
