I'm getting paid, but so are they. And seeing something like that makes it so that I work just hard enough to not get fired. Not the kind of extra mile stuff that these companies typically complain that they want to see from their employees.

Sure, absolutely. I don't advocate doing any "extra mile" stuff unless you have a damn good reason to. I mean, if you think you're in like to make CEO (or whatever) one day, then by all means, do whatever it takes. Otherwise, my feeling is, conserve as much of your mental/physical/emotional/spiritual/whatever energy as you can, to use on ends that DO matter to you.
