The two extremes are:
1. Working as hard as possible to get a promotion over the next person working as hard as possible.
2. Doing the bare minimum to not get fired.
Anything in between is, logically, irrational, because you're doing more work than necessary.
Luckily, companies have found the levers for most humans and tend to get them working in between the two extremes.
