Companies gain in a number of ways by paying overtime instead of hiring more people. Probably the two biggest plusses are that they don't have to pay to train new people, and they only have to pay benefits to one person.
Consider, no matter how much overtime you work, your healthcare costs the company the exact same. That reason alone is enough to turn bosses into slave drivers. On the surface it seems like, "How can they afford to pay us all this overtime?" But in reality, they wouldn't do it if it weren't cost-effective.
