Nah, most companies just want their employees to do their jobs. It's only these Silicon Valley cults that expect everyone to drink the koolaid about "values" and center your personal identity around your job.
If you don't believe this, go get a job at a lumber yard or a warehouse or something.

I can't understand why you're being down ranked for what is objectively the truth.
I've a long career inside and outside tech and this is consistent with my experience. Tech companies are uniquely toxic in the sheer volume of koolaid you're expected to digest to merely maintain your job there.
A tech company not filled to the brim with HR crap would be a breath of fresh air at this point.
Maybe many here simply haven't worked outside of tech?
You don't think there's a severe mental burden associated with having to clock in and out, reprimands for being 6 minutes late, only being allowed to visit a doctor if it's on the health plan's list, few opportunities for advancement, work quotas, can't leave early to pick up a sick kid from school, etc etc?
Not to mention most warehouse workers don't make nearly enough to have the luxury of quitting.
