Nowadays I take the stance that I am hired to perform a service, and I do just that. Just that. Nothing more.
If I get pulled up for clinical timekeeping I always point out that I'm merely saving myself for when we need to do 26 hour days.
I am not a permie. I don't need to climb the ladder. I don't mind people taking credit for my work. I really don't care to be honest.
I would stop all after work activity immediately. If you are asked why, simply say you are fully committed to the project, and will always be prepared to put the extra 6 miles in when necessary but don't want to fritter your energy levels away on excessive socialising so you won't be as effective when they REALLY need to call on you.
