That's really not one of the core values of capitalism. But if we're talking about it, one of the core values of capitalism is self-interest, when people act in pursuit of their own good. Doing the bare minimum is peak capitalism. You need to minimize effort while maximizing gains. This is what companies are doing and it's something both 'the market' and society is totally fine with. But if you're an employee trying to apply the same principles in their context, all of a sudden, it's breaking social norms.
> We should want to make things continuously better.
Better in what way and for whom? A relaxed employee has more time to spend with family and also spend more money (which is a 'core value' of market capitalism).
