Then they proceed to call the samn things “sprints” and except us to do them back to back to no end

A "sprint" when managed well, doesn't need to mean working tirelessly the entire period. One of the features of sprints is a way to avoid scope creep by imposing a deadline. I would argue that generally the more appropriate response to not meeting a sprint deadline is more often to cut scope than to insist than to insist devs put in extra hours.

Wish that ever happened. We just add shit to our sprint and yell at devs when they are burned out.

Unfortunately, that does of course that does happen a lot. My point was that I think working sprints doesn't necessarily mean overworking.
