Yes I have seen same productivity patterns. In one company I applied, the most senior developer's average skills were less than my junior skills. I can say I have junior skills but better productivity. Most of the times I had under-performed to save my ass from undeserving workload.

Nope my behaviour was specifically related to office politics, I left the job. I never liked to fake it.

currently I am openly searching for some good remote part-time job so I can work with full productivity without office politics.
