Maybe not extra actual productivity, but extra imagined productivity and when it comes time to raises, it's not reality, or what could have been, but your boss's imagination that counts.

I don't think bosses who want long hours are all that interested in actual productivity (which, especially with software, they don't seem all that capable of measuring anyway). I think they simply see it as a signal of loyalty.
