I see many of my friends falling is this trap, that they care way more about the company cares about them. They seem to believe that if they dedicate their lives to a company that will be rewarded. It might be, but they might as well be made redundant.

They keep giving but the company rarely gives back and this hurts their mental health.

So care just the right amount. And put yourself above your job. If you can't do that you need to find another job or rethink how you are doing your current job.
