This rings true in a lot of large places and in some medium places. If your butt is in a chair in the office, you better be working on something. It doesn't matter if you clear your plate, took a few tasks from someone else, finished those as well, and are looking at the Software Engineering or Code Review SE sites or OWASP to help holistically contribute to your project. Your billable time better be used for tangible results that can be demoed or shown on an agile board. Never mind that you crushed estimated 50 hours in 30 - you don't get to be a warm body.
