>>you mean to run a "competitive company" you have to abuse your employees?
Not at all, but to be a "competitive company" you have to be "competitive" which is essentially doing better than your competition. The issue is someone is always willing to put more effort than you/your company. This is where it all breaks down.
This is exactly what makes our profession so much sought after. Because at some point you can make money non linear to your effort, and if you compress that effort into a small period of time you can make a fortune.
For every person that is happy to go back working 4 hours a day, there are people to put in 16 hours a day.
>>It is just unfortunate for India that our so-called IT Industry is just marketing itself as cheap and easy-to-abuse labour.
IT professionals in India are not cheap. Compare it with any other profession in India, even engineers. We come out easily as better paid people here.
And even a cursory look at the start up industry across the world, not just in India will tell you what kind of a fierce competition it is.
