Well. the other side of the coin is people that really are there at work trying to finish a project at midnight or 4 am. I'm sometimes one of those people , and I admit that I often send an e-mail that could wait until the next day so that my boss will know I was there working and I'll get credit for it. It's not enough to do good work -- people have to know about it too. It sounds self serving, and I suppose it is, but around annual evaluation time it can definitely pay off, and as a wise former supervisor once told me, "self preservation is the first order of business".
I don't like the idea of people being able to fake being there at all hours if it means that those of us who really are there at those times won't get credit for it because of all the fakers.
