sometimes this attitude comes out in some of the HN comments that it's unfair for someone who works 60 hours a week and answers emails at 9 pm to get a promotion over the single mother who walks in the door at 9 am sharp and is pulling out of the parking lot at 5. I think the complaint is often more -- judge the actual business impact. Not shallow shiny measures, such as how long you're in the office. Unfortunately, what I tended to see was a lot of ping pong from noon to 5pm, and then work from 5pm to midnight. Just because your workplace is your fun place, doesn't mean you deserve a promotion.
