“Act your wage” is just a poor excuse to normalize laziness.
You have to leave some in the tank. It’s real easy to breeze into work 20 minutes late with no consequences, sit in an air conditioned office while sitting around shooting the shit for 5/8 hours pretending to be in a meeting, send some emails and go home.
Working for 8+ hours straight on your feet is a different story. You still have to go home and perform domestic tasks like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, yard work, kids. There’s also a good chance you will have mandatory overtime on certain industries.

Not only that, but work smarter, not harder.
