Frustrating, isn't it. You're apparently working too hard. You're going to make the others look bad and then they'll have it out for you. You'll get fired for being too good. So, learn to slack more and you'll be happier and have more job security.
Look at my post count.

I don't work hard, I work smart.

I have a talent for sniffing out issues very early on that usually don't seem to be discovered until design, or coding, or testing. I'm very good at learning from my mistakes and avoiding the same kinds of problems twice. I think some people hate working with me because I force them to address issues when they just want blind signoff on requirements so they can move on (and leave the problems for me to deal with later).

I don't write code faster than other people. I tend to write a lot of tools to automate tedious tasks and testing. On my last big program, I could execute and record the results of about three unit test cases a minute because of automation. Most other analysts seem to execute one test case every five or ten minutes. It was taking me less "work" to execute dozens of test cases that it took other people execute one. Once again, because of technology differences, the tools I wrote couldn't be used by other people.
