Save your call for solidarity for people who aren't in an industry where exceptional individual achievement matters this much. I'm not interested in being saddled like a horse to carry a bunch of can't-dos who should be encouraged to find something they aren't dragging down. Solidarity is for line workers who want to be lazy.

That's what I'm trying to do - keep the can't-dos from acquiescing to management demands in a way that makes effective people look lazy. It's the marginally-employed that are the least able to resist management demands for working more hours. If they work more hours than you do, then you're either working more hours for no gain, or you wind up looking like someone who isn't putting in as much effort as others.
Management expectations are a resource we all share, and that includes you. Yes, solidarity helps the lazy. It also helps the hard-working.
