People need a “why” to what they do. Generally “I do what I’m told because that is what the process says” doesn’t scale as well as “we are here to get airplanes where they need to go”. The narrative doesn’t have to be outlandish, in fact unrealistic stories give narratives a bad reputation.

What you do need is a simple why you are coming to work that is beyond “to get a paycheck”.

It can also serve as a helpful reference point for "what am I (still) doing here?" so that you can judge when you perhaps should not be.
True enough. If I am sitting in the backseat or front and the driver is meandering, I might think of bailing, yeah.
