After all, which are you more likely to remember 30 years down the road? I always have to tell myself this stuff because it's easy to get wrapped up in and care about something that just isn't yours to care about. Pride in the quality of your work is about all I feel you should have unless you own the place.
The deal at my place is some weird unspoken rule about working late. They pay me for a 40 hour week. That's what they get... with the very rare exception that we're opening a new facility or the board is going to personally review a project of mine that isn't finished or something like that.
