I care what management thinks of me the same amount they care what I think of them. These are how I prioritize things when it comes to work: my needs, the needs of the other pilot, the needs of the FA's, the needs of the passengers, the needs of any other frontline employee, and lastly the needs of the company. Sometimes all of those needs are in alignment. For example, everyone wins when I operate safely and don't crash. Generally it is to my and everyone else's benefit to arrive on time or early. If the FA's have been going all day without a meal, then I'm going to delay the flight to go get them some food. If I need to eat, sleep, or poop, I'm going to make sure that is taken care of properly before I ever worry about getting a flight off the gate. Unless it personally benefits me (generally by getting me done on the last day to go home) then I will rarely put in extra effort to prevent the operation from falling apart.

Management wants employees to go the extra mile for the company. Well the company won't even go the full mile they agreed to in the PWA let alone a single step extra. They are going to reap what they are sowing.
