I visited an outsourcing company we were using in India. It's not just the outsourcing companies that work fantastically long hours for very little pay. The hotel waiters worked 7AM to 11PM six days a week, through they were allowed to be off-duty from about 2PM to 4PM. The hotel IT guy who kept trying to fix the room internet connections worked 6AM to 10PM six days a week with no breaks. They seemed cheerful enough about it and said they were happy to have jobs, since there were huge numbers of people who would quickly take the jobs if they didn't work the full hours.
The actual outsourcing company worked 12 hour shifts 9AM to 9PM (or the reverse, for a somewhat smaller group) but all the managers stayed a few hours extra every day and most workers did as well.
