I think that's a bit unfair. He's not saying you are required to commit your own time in order to meet performance requirements; he's just saying that the business needs to take a balanced view on priorities in order to ship. So if you care enough about a deprioritised issue that you can't sleep, and the company is unable or unwilling to change its priorities, feel free to fix it on your own time. Or don't. Your call. Now if the company demanded certain perf issues be resolved ahead of shipping and didn't provide company time for it, that would be a different matter and I'd agree with you.
