Nope. Of course I don't. It's just a job. I am paid to deliver value during a pre-agreed set of hours and nothing more. I will do my work to the best of my ability during that time, after which I dngaf. The company, in turn, will treat me as a non-entity when it suits (eg. will lay me off in hard times). It is for the owner of the company/stakeholders to care about the mission, since they are the ones who profit from that care (and from the naive care of others who have no stake and yet are tricked into one-sided "loyalty"). Life is too short to put that much care and effort into making someone else a ton of money.

This is another signal supporting my thesis.

I am personally convinced that as soon as your job requires a complex and hard activities from your brain - it inevitably touches all its cicruits responsable for our deepest motivations, values etc.

It doesn’t mean you have to be crazy about your job etc, but it means a part of your personality is working towards some common goal too, not just your skills.

And personality tends to be very picky about how it wastes its relatively short lifetime.
