Doing exactly what your job description entails, to the letter, to specified standards, nothing less and nothing more. No going above and beyond. Way too many places demand 110, 150, maybe even 200 percent of what you can deliver. Working to rule means you deliver exactly 100 percent.

I know what it means. I was pointing out that was an ability that entails working

You're still working, but if the boss has come to rely on you going above and beyond, it's basically not working anymore.

Thank you for the explanation, I was not aware of the definition. What effect does this have on your work and on your promotion options though?
