Govt. has rules for working hrs. Manufacturing industry follows that.
In IT they label you as executive but everybody below a PM rank is just another worker. But since you are an executive, govt rules doesn't apply here.
You've got flexi timing still you end up working 10 to 12 hrs a day. The management promotes a competition among employees in name of performance appraisal / variable pay etc. But basically they trick you to work more.
Most of ppl who joined IT in 90s are suffering now from back problems, neck problems etc due to extended work hours. In US they could have sued the company. Many of these companies pay overtime in the US but in in india that does not happen.
Hope the current generation has a better work life balance.

We need to understand the purpose of our existence, the reason for our growth is not intellect, but high availability of skilled cheap labor . The rich countries expect us to not know of our rights and work like a beast. They don't directly expect us to do it, they expect us to work only from 9-5, but give us deadlines which require lot more effort. While this is one factor, our inability to work hard, and love for leisure, increases the gap between our expectations and our deliveries, This gap leads to frustration and it would later become stress. Hence everybody must get used to proper work ethic
