I know how you feel. It leads to burnout. People don't value what you're doing because it's not on their radar. Maybe I'm misaligned with the company, maybe they're unaware of the scope of what's going on.

I'm at a new company now. I care but I keep my passion elsewhere. I can't keep getting burned out so I've just fallen in line with everyone else. People are more receptive to it. I spent my time drafting emails instead of commits. I make 4 tickets instead of one mega ticket. It is what it is and I'm happier for it.

I noticed that in teams without high pressure or high leadership, the tendency is minimal effort in all dimensions. People don't want to try.. maybe it's seen as being an idiot, or ambitious i don't know, but I often see a mediocre spirit and people bailing out at 5pm because the job is not worth staying (not that i encourage staying late).
