Your mistake is caring. Are you being rewarded for working much harder than your colleagues? Are they being punished for working hardly at all? Why are you working hard for the benefit of the company's bottom line? It's a big company, why do you care about its bottom line?

Your colleagues have the right attitude. They are doing the absolute bare minimum to collect a paycheck and go home. I suggest you do the same.

Caring about your job is only acceptable if your labor is sufficiently rewarded, you own the company, or if it's some kind of non-profit or public service job that actually benefits society. If you're working for a for-profit organization, the goal is not to work hard, but to be exploited as little as possible.
