To be pedantic; not quite the same thing. While it does usually include hating your job, it’s more about doing the absolute bare minimum required by your contract, sometimes dragging your feet as long as possible, and only doing the 9-5 – nothing more.
Performing work to the specification of compensation while respecting my free time. Astounding that doing my job is somehow analogous to quitting if I’m not providing even more unpaid benefit to my employer by one or more metrics.
Eh, not really. I love my job, but I’m not going to put in any extra effort that isn’t a part of my agreed upon and compensated job description. It’s honestly one of the reasons WHY I love my job. They expect me to do my job, nothing more. They don’t pull any of the stupid “we’re a family” or “we want you to be part of the company culture” or “go above and beyond” bullshit.

You perfectly described what I hate about the phrase. The framing is just so awfully corporate, it’s almost receiving executive bonuses.
I appreciate the pedantry (not sarcasm) but really don’t see the difference. That’s what you do when you hate your job, is it not?

A fair days wage for a fair days work.
It’s not that hard.
