Yes, for OP they seem to have some kind of motivation to work. I was criticizing framing of the issue as not "doing right by your company", not the idea that working harder might be useful for OP.

I don't know how "tough love" would help someone like this and the reasons given by khazhoux for working harder make no sense.
