I have noticed this trend at many work places. Often the people who appear to be working the "hardest", are the people that have spun their work lives into a tapestry of chaos. Their schedules and workload are so intensely unmanaged that the only thing they manage to do is commit to more things. Unfortunately this sort of behavior is often encouraged by higher ups, because it looks like you are doing a lot. However, I think it's obvious that spending a lot of time in the office doesn't equate to getting a lot done.
