It definitely is. It happens with over-achievers but it also happens very frequently with under-achievers.

In jobs where people have quotas it is very visible, seeing people scrambling to finish it all by the end of the month, to the detriment of their free time. But this is also the "secret" of some over-achievers.

It's absolutely unhealthy.

I think I'd rather invest the extra time into OSS or a hobby project, which, even if you only do it for vanity, might even look more impressive to others.
