The hatred the normals have for standout talent or the individual willing to put in extra effort is always astonishing to me.
While the no assholes rule should reign supreme, organizations need to realize there are linchpins holding stuff together. "Work smarter" is a familiar refrain from management types that don't understand or appreciate the work at hand.
When you've got a hero, thank him or her and figure out what they are holding together and then fix it. Then fix the next thing they hold together, and thank them along the way for doing the stuff no one else can/will.

The whole idea of working smarter is to be able to do your job efficiently in order to use the rest of the time for other things, even if that also involves coding (e.g. open-source)
