> 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".

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.
