Because it's pretty much not a real choice. The "pride" is justification after the fact of a reality that exists. If you're working 40, you're already seen as a slacker, and furthermore anything less than total loyalty (called engagement) is seen as bad. So there's no choice really, but it's easier to swallow if you can convince yourself that you choose that rather than being forced.
