Performing work to the specification of compensation while respecting my free time. Astounding that doing my job is somehow analogous to quitting if I'm not providing even more unpaid benefit to my employer by one or more metrics.
You perfectly described what I hate about the phrase. The framing is just so awfully corporate, it's almost receiving executive bonuses.
I appreciate the pedantry (not sarcasm) but really don't see the difference. That's what you do when you hate your job, is it not?
