Duh, work isn't really about creating value. There's been at least one study showing that workers are actually most productive with 25-30 hour workweeks, with knowledge workers having even lower hours of productivity per week. It's about showing off to everyone how hardworking you are.

They'd have to be almost twice as productive to get the same amount of work done, though. Productivity is a relative concept - the amount of work you get done per unit of time (or money, usually). It says nothing of the total amount of work you're getting done.
