You can do whatever you want, I'm just sharing if my manager says "we won't know how to fix a bug in the xyz service if you were hit and killed by the bus", my response will be "I don't really give a f what happens at this stupid company after I die".

Take it like this to understand that mine was aimed to be constructive criticism:

Stop reminding the people who work at your stupid company, doing all your stupid scrum bs ceremonies that if they died and left the wife and children behind, you would be really worried about Tom needing two days to fix a bug in the iOS watch application, whereas it would take you only two hours. Again, you are free to do whatever you want, but if you keep reminding me that none of this bs what I'm doing here really matters to me, don't be surprised that I quit as soon as possible.

but the manager is obviously (unless they are very, very bad) using a metaphor (that you don't like). By responding literally, what you're really saying is "I don't really give a f what happens at this stupid company after I LEAVE MY CURRENT RESPONSIBILITIES" regardless of why. It sounds like you have extreme trust issues with your manager if they can't make a (pretty benign) verbal mis-step with you, without this sort of response, and your follow up suggests you're in a really bad space. I can't believe it's not visible and leaking into other aspects of your work and interactions.

I'm okay now, thank you.

I did have a previous workplace, though, where they couldn't stop yapping about the bus factor and I disliked that phrase because it kept reminding me that one day I die and am wasting one more hour of my living days in a pointless retrospective that will have no positive effect on anything.

So? The company isn't going to let all their employees starve to death out of compassion for the one that did die.

They know you don't give a fuck about what happens after you're dead, but they're still alive, and they have to keep things running so that they can continue eating.

Telling people that you don't care what effect your death has on them is a pretty good way to indicate how selfish you are.

I agree with you. But if you hate the poduct, and you hate scrumlords, and you hate your job, and you think the world would be better off if everyone at your company went on to spend their life working on something else.

It may not be selfish to feel an emotion giving you a background hint about reality. There are hungry children in the world, Im not selfish just because I dont want to eat fermented soybeans.
