I've tried giving a shit as an IC, and have basically learned and been told repeatedly that it's just a waste of time, and there's no point in caring about a company beyond what it takes to fullfill your responsibility as someone being paid or about your duties beyond how much the people in charge care about them. Startups in particular don't reward giving a shit about anything much at all, most of the time, but enterprises are no different. They reward getting tasks done quickly and measurably, in a way that poses little risk to the company, and that's exactly what this asshole is saying. There is almost no market for giving shit, and it's not worth your mental health to try.
