There is some truth in your Marxist sentiment, but there is a wide, wide range between "being a top notch wage slave" and not "giving one single iota of a fuck about whatever it is you do for work".

Fair enough if you work in McDonalds.

Personally my work is funded by taxpayers, and some of it will hopefully cure rare (and not so rare) diseases. Its pretty disrespectful to everyone involved (tax payers, colleagues, patients) that I would take the money and put in minimal effort afterwards.
