残念なことに、私の周りの人はよく「サービス残業」をしているようです。
「サービス残業」とは、支払われるべき賃金が支払われない時間外労働の俗称で、英語では "wage theft" などと呼ばれます。
「サービス」は "service"、残業は "(working) overtime" を意味するので、サービス残業の文字どおりの意味は "service overtime" となります。
ここで「サービス」は、会社に対する「奉仕」という意味で使われているというわけです。
省略して「サビ残」のように言われることもあります。
拓殖大学の調査によると、日本の労働者の約4割がサービス残業をせざるを得ない状況になっているようです。

I can imagine prouctivity being low if people are working unnaturally long hours and not even being paid for some of it. It hurts the workers' health and morale, and takes a mother/father away from the family for so long.
