I am not sure where you are getting this info from, but I know a lot of foreigners who work in IT and finance in Japan, and none of them are in the situation you describe. They are all either full time contract employees or seishain. For eikaiwa teachers and ALTs the 29.5 hour work week so that the company can avoid paying into shakai hoken is common, but not in other fields in my experience.
