| In a somewhat misguided defence of the OP, he actually makes two points. Giving a shit about your work is the second point. Without any other comments suggesting the alternative, I assume this is second in order of importance. And as there are only two points I would take that to mean the second point is the least important. His first point is to give a shit about the company. This being the most important point probably explains the accusations of late payments and wage theft from former employees and contractors against the company. They just weren't putting the company first! As an aside, I have been thinking of this in relation to the 3 laws, as in a sense, executives see workers as robots, and I think the 3 laws mesh quite nicely with corporate directives. 1) A robot (employee) may not injure the company or allow the company to come to harm; 2) A robot must obey their manager unless it conflicts with the First Law; 3) A robot must protect its own existence (in the company) as long as it does not conflict with the First or Second Law. The work doesn't really come into to it, unless it is a subset of the 3rd law. |
