"Sense" aside, some of us were conditioned this way from Day 1, unfortunately. I think it's also pretty contextual, as I spent the first 10 years of my career at a marketing agency and everything was done in the name of client service. I knew no other way and it took me several years to unlearn that approach to work management. It's also important to note all the (admittedly ridiculous) perceptual games going on inside offices, where regardless of actual output you're being judged on hours spent inside that room.
