Seat of Pants Performance?

Flying a medium/large Biz Jet (Legacy) on a freelance basis for a private world wide operation, I'm amazed that the other crew don't bother to evaluate performance even though APG is available to us. Perf limited (mainly departure) in all sorts of places; but One Engine Inop Departure Procedures and related performance are available at the press of a button. Me - check every time. Others never bother. Why such indifference? One quote - "well perf t/o limit (Aspen) is only in case one engine fails....so it doesn't matter if we are a couple of tons overweight."
"Olbia - just fly out visually".

What do you think? I'm covered because I stick with published figures and applicable OEI Departure Procedures (DP), but (having a previous life in airline world) I am appalled by what I consider lack of professionalism by my colleagues. Often not even consideration of DP. Hard work convincing the FO that I am not over reacting.
