The only usage that would make any sense, and what I have always thought must have been the original meaning, is people who literally sit on their phone and send in job applications and do little to no work until the boss notices.
This got turned into "doing only exactly what was asked" and now we're finally at "Really great work but could do more!!!!"

It continues to irk me because doing what you’re paid to do is called a job.
