I completely agree.

The only thing that seemed to enable me to avoid the wrath that most others received is that I got my stuff done (and then some - that's why I was working four programs at once - I could get stuff done).

I actually had the same outlook as you - there's no sense in "working over" if you were on top of everything and were getting things done when they needed to get done and supporting everyone, etc. Our management didn't see it that way - the edict was simply work long hours. Every day. I disagreed and that led to some friction.
