The Poetry of Gregg Typing, 1958: Pt. 6

Ah, Gregg Typing, it's been awhile. Here's a rather enigmatic selection:

"A group of six men did all the work. The job did
not make them rich, but they got along quite well
and were quite glad to have the chance to live in
Switzerland during a part of the winter. The job
ended in eight weeks; the men were not too happy."

What was the job??
