**** The Man. 

Never give an extra ounce of effort for your work. Whatever you agreed to in the job description is exactly what you should do. Not one thing more. No less either, since you made an agreement to do it, but only the bare minimum to keep your word.  Give the extra mile to people who do not see you as replaceable, such as family and friends. Never to a place of employment. Bare minimum at work, and extra mile with family/friends. 

Start your own business. Yes, it's hard, but so? Work for yourself. If you have to work hard as hell because you can't help it, then work your *** off to make yourself a lot of money, not somebody else who finds you replaceable.
