I run into people like you in the field sometimes. Unless you're actively hindering my efforts at delivering something, I ignore you. If you're assigned a critical task, and you block us, I'll bring it up to stakeholders privately to ensure they understand what you're doing. Sometimes this results in you being fired, most of the time, you just get assigned less important work.
I find people like you unpleasant to be around because I value competency in my peers, so I tend to ignore you socially too, but outside of that I have no opinion on your choices.
To answer your question though, no, not all of us are lying about how much work we do. Some of us enjoy the work, find if fulfilling, and carry a professional pride in doing the work well.

I think you have to be really careful about this. Sometimes people's work behavior is not a direct, "FU this is me and I'm proud of it!" attitude. Sometimes it's a reflection on depression, personal issues you don't know about, and even someone just being lost because they know they don't know something, but don't know what they don't know. Sometimes the best thing is for you to directly engage with them. You might learn a few things you didn't realize.
- ctvo 5y agoWe’re professional colleagues. If you need help with a work item I’m happy to assist. I’m not malicious or rude to people like OP, but I have no desire to fix them or help guide them through their personal issues.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoI enjoy my work, but I also don't get a whole lot of it. So I make mountains out of molehills. As for what I do? I work in basically a state run monopoly that is so big and has such large teams that managers oftentimes think you're awesome if nobody has anything negative to say.
- odonnellryan 5y agoI read most of the comments here and yours is the one I agree with the most. My feelings are the same. I don't always do 8hrs every day. And I certainly cannot program for 8hrs a day day in day out. But I'm working for a good portion of my day and I'm getting things done. If I only worked 5hrs a week I'd feel like a cheat.
