I think in general, meeting the requirements of your job IS your job, but everything above it isn’t, and going above it should be commendable, while avoiding doing so should just be seen as doing your job.

Employees. I work at the hospital where there are a many separate departments. Even within nursing there’s several groups(OR, recovery, endo, ward, pain clinic, etc.). Being lazy and not helping your co-workers by not communicating, tunnel vision and not looking around seeing if people need help, whatever.
If an instrument doesn’t get turned around and processed because people aren’t paying attention, surgeries get delayed or cancelled. Even a minor delay can cause the last case to get pushed back until the days slate is done and a new surgeon comes on. Then the whole case has to be repicked.
Nobody in our department misses their breaks and any time past 8 hours for us is overtime, as it should be. If you are in health care and looking after patients, whether directly or indirectly you should be prepared to go the extra mile once in a while. They all get paid for their time.
Most staff are really good but the ####ty ones can have an impact.
