Indian, here. And this article is dead right! This trend is getting common even here in India. In fact its already everywhere. My father routinely points out to me how ridiculous it has gotten. Back in his day(He was a bus driver, now a cab driver), you would be called to clock overtime anytime a fellow driver was on leave, sick or just absent due to same reason. And they would get paid handsomely for it. In fact overtime pay was the whole thing behind 'Work hard, get rich'. When I started my career in Software, and I would routinely do late nighters and weekends. He used to be surprised we were ready to do so much work for free. Ideally you could argue that a bus driver and a programmer have very different kinds of jobs, but then it the same vein programmers should get paid proportional to what impact their work has, but that doesn't happen either. I think the employers are having the best time in history. Which so many people ready to so much work for free, what else could you ask for?
