Some people on this discussion have mentioned the motivation of "they pay me". For me personally "they pay me" is enough to get me in the door and sitting at my desk for a certain amount of time each day. I think it's actually this way for a lot of people. My previous job doing DevOps-y stuff was completely different. In that job, if I didn't show up and do my work, other people wouldn't be able to work either. Doing that job felt like I was supporting my work family. My current job (software QA) is very disconnected from eventual users and it just feels like a very repetitive slog every day. Anyway this should maybe have been a throwaway, but whatever.
