In Portugal, most people (to avoid saying everyone) that work in IT regularly work unpaid overtime, unlike most other professions where overtime is (obviously) paid for, and mostly due to poor management, e.g. project manager doesn't want/know how to negotiate an easily defendable deadline extension, or scope change, or budget restriction, or some basic aspect of the project, so he "asks" the team to work overtime or their performance reviews "may" suffer. This is, sadly, in line with the mentality of the country's workforce, that believes that you're only doing your job (good or not) if you're leaving after hours...the result is basically people that are too worn out and/or uncooperative by the time they're 40 or less...
