Do staff officers stay up late because they have a lot of work to be done? Or do they just do that to appear like they have a lot left to do?

Definitely trying to look busy

I know some who stay up late to put on a show, not doing extra work but just stretching out the tasks that could've been done without staying late in the office. Trying to impress a flag officer, I guess.

Same things happen in civilian/corporate world and I’d say it’s a mix. Some are putting in extra or are behind, others may be trying to look like they are working late. That also can depend on the command climate. Some leaders/commanders are doing the same and either judging their subordinates based on time they work. Also leaders can give the perception through their own work habits that they expect others to follow their lead by working late.
