Egoism is what drives capitalism forward, and if it is subordinated to a strict set of laws, there is nothing wrong with it. Having a job these days is an achievement itself, because it means that you are a skilled person who can generate money for someone, and he has all the reasons to keep you in the company. Some employers tend to overplay their cards and knowing that there is a scarcity on the labor market, overwork their employees with complete disregard to laws on overtime.
Instead of whining that this kind of selfishness is driven to extremes, you should prepare to defend your rights, and if you lack the legal knowledge, hire a professional. There are more than a couple of lawyers specialized in laws on overtime and all you need to do is to choose a competent one and present the case in details. Fortunately, for you, the laws were created in your interest, and the employee will have his rights restored and even paid compensation if the judge decides that the laws on overtime were broken.
In most cases though the lawyers will be so effective that the case will not even go to trial, and your previously inflexible employer will back off. No matter what the outcome will be, it is your duty to defend yourself when your rights are violated, especially when the laws on overtime clearly state that it is your right as an employee to receive extra payment for your work.
