Similarly, a lot of employees don't really know what the global mission of the company is or what their strategic interests are. I've definitely seen leaders fail to clearly communicate this. When that happens, people fall back to optimizing their local environment or department and that can definitely lead to useless shit or actions which while locally beneficial, actually impede the mission of the company.

[unavoidable]

Most employees don't really care what the global mission of the company or their strategic interests are. It's whether you can get a decent paycheck with some stability while having a semblance of control and balance. The more you work the more this becomes true.

I will say, as an employee myself, I don't feel like my company cares about me and how well I do as a person. So why should I care about the company and how well it does for its shareholders? It's just an economic transaction between me and the organization; I do whatever they tell me to do for 8 hours, and that's that. If what they're telling me to do hurts them, then that's not really my problem.

When you as an individual don't feel any sense of doing better for your organisation. How can an organisation composed of diverse set of people think of your cause?

I care about the individuals I work with. They're good people. I definitely try to help my coworkers out with their personal goals, if and when I can.

But the organization itself? Nah. Corporations aren't people, no matter what the courts say.
