You did not work on a G day because you thought it would be in your long term interest not to do so.
You are admitting it yourself, it was "common knowledge" to you it would be better not to answer the call and earn even more otherwise.
You declined a short term gain because you gambled on a larger long term gain.
And maybe once in a while you did work on a G day, or you want to tell me you never ever did it? Ever in your career? My guess would be you did decline just often enough to not destroy your reputation, just like the rest of us, and only as long as you thought the majority is doing the same.
You never acted against your interests, quite the opposite.
Thank you for a textbook game theory example.
