I think op means to not just do the bare minimum and be the guy who leaves when everyone else is working.

I know what you're getting at, but this language upsets me. There are a ton of valid reasons to leave when everyone else is working:

1. doctor's appointment

2. picking up the kids from daycare

3. being an early bird and coming in way earlier than everyone else

4. working part-time

Just from the top of my head.

Yep, you got it right. That's what I meant. It was really hard to find the proper wording, there.

In any case, I am absolutely against slaving yourself for your employer and that is not what I meant at all.

Heck, I think 40 hours a week is too much -- I'd much rather see something closer to 32 hour work weeks, realistically.
