Wait until you run into a doctor, LE, or other professional who is so tired of the underperformance/malicious compliance of certain types of workers that it affects how they treat them as well…in situations where they could do much more (or better) for them because there is so much leeway in their positions. I guarantee that it’s happening as a response to these behaviors in certain cases but you’ll never be able to prove it…but keep promoting it. /s
Depends upon the job I suppose. I work in a place where if you don’t get things done on time, you lose contracts for large projects and can bankrupt a portion of the company quickly so it very much doesn’t apply everywhere. And this is one example >

Getting things done on time is part of doing the bare minimum of your job. >

Yeah, I expect people under me to be out of the office by 6 every night.  If you’re doing overtime, then someone scheduled the work wrong or you aren’t working efficiently. >

Nah I like it when my coworkers do that, it results in them making me look better because I look more hardworking in comparison. Which leads to me being promoted so I can make more money so it’s a win win situation for me >

exactly, you get it. >

The problem is the responsible or most desperate person is what enables the slacking.
If everyone slacks off then consequences occur, which someone will be too vulnerable to. >

Similar to group science projects, one person does all the work and carries the others that don't care. 
If someone at my work is doing the bare minimum I usually just tell them to go ahead and go home for the day... and the next day ... and the next week ... why pay someone to do nothing? >

So doing what you're supposed to, and nothing else beyond that, is doing nothing according to you?
Sucks to work with you then. I'm glad I don't. >

Yeh the bare minimum by defintion is enough
