Are you delivering more value to the company than you take from it in salary/benefits/overhead? That's all that matters here. Who cares if someone else is more productive on paper. Who cares if someone else has more visible progress. If you listen to people posting here, you'd think that you need to be sitting at a keyboard, typing furiously for exactly 8 hours a day, or you should be immediately fired. It's saddening to see that people in our industry still think that way, and it's a good reminder that even if you bring value to the company, you can still be canned if you don't play the political game and clang pots and pans whenever you ship a one-line bugfix.
