It seems a lot of people interpret this is meaning, for example, not working an hour late on occasion. I got the impression it also means things like, say, you suspect a problem with instructions you were given, but you're not going to bother to investigate or mention it to anyone, since that would be more effort, you just don't care, and your butt is covered if you just follow instructions. This latter example -- at least speaking up if you notice a problem -- could arguably be considered part of the job. And it avoids conflating the issue with "hourly job" or "work hours" concerns that lead to responses like it's only about "if you want more work, then pay more money".
