Pay is only one reason for work. If pay is one's only reason, long hours for no extra pay are certainly objectionable. But that's a circular argument. I like working long hours when it's work that I want to be doing. If people are working at something they don't want to do, maybe that is the real problem. For menial jobs that no one enjoys, there may be no easy way to fix the situation, but in an industry like tech there is little excuse for accepting it.
