I agree with this generally, but where do you draw the line? In the OP's scenarios, the second guy (4.5 years) seemed to have a pretty reasonable level of ambition. Most of us know that we're expected to change jobs several times through our professional careers and this may result in transition periods working "Joe jobs" to pay the rent while one waits for the next thing.
On the other hand, a guy that works too hard is sometimes seen unfavourably as well. Not too mention the time he needs for hobbies, sports, etc.
