It's because of the "Cat is away, the mice will play" mentality of these big greedy corporate CEO's. There has been many studies that prove otherwise.
I know for myself, I work even harder than I would inside a cube because I want my non supervising upper managment to know I'm worth what they pay me because they don't see my daily work environment but see my pay-cheque every 2 weeks...
Do I leave early some days or go browse the oil isles at 2pm in the afternoon? Sure, but I also have my e-mail open when I get home or put in extra hours here/there without taking the time "officially" back. I always keep my phone on, on days off and help out if needed assuming I'm not doing anything with the family or on out of country vacation etc.
