But then, who does the real work? Who is working the long hours doing research, or developing products?

Let me give you an example. I used to work at a job in the US which used to emphasize work life balance. I used to work in IT, where work never stops, something is always going on. Well the employees were told to take it easy and not exceed 40+ hours. So who did the work after that? Indians. Either they were sitting in India, or were here on work visa working for the likes of Wipro or Infosys. Most of these guys worked 50+ hours to support their clients.

So someone was doing the work, while other slept or played.

I dont know if u know but the work moral in northern eu is different than the work moral in USA. like when its summer, they really dont do much work becuz its vacation time whereas usa is on the roll all the time. I dont recognize the picture ekku draws abt foreigners being the once working, it happens maybe at christmas tht u see more black heads but not otherwise, obviously there are ppl who are working long hours etc but at the end everyone is enjoying as well becuz there are many rules, like ie doctors, in uk and usa these basically live in the hospital for the first few yrs, while here u are not allowed to give them a shift longer than 12 hours (some have specific rules for 24 hours shift, but still), u are not allowed to give them more than 1 night shift every 8th day or so .. its a jungle of protecting laws. I dont know if tht made sense at all.
