So many folks at Nike don't complain, don't cause trouble, just do their work consistently and on time, and they get rewarded by being buried in even more work. Management sees your quiet competence as capacity for more. I speak from experience. Since I started complaining and saying no to more work, my life has improved significantly.

Any bootlicker too dimwitted to set boundaries deserves their fate.
Put in just enough hours to get the job done. No more, no less. When the timer ticks at the end of the work day, just stop and go back to life. It's a job. It will be there tomorrow. Just do enough to not get fired and realize its just for the paycheck. If the pay check doesn't go up or down, just do enough to keep it coming and not more, no less.
Take your lunch break. Use every minute of it and no less.
Rinse, repeat, until they lay you off or you quit for something better.
