I get what you are saying, but the fact that your company doesn't give a shit, shouldn't mean that you automatically don't give a shit about a company. Giving a shit is a great trait IMO. If your country doesn't give a shit about you, should you not give a shit about your country? Or your relatives? Or parents? Or children. I am perfectly fine not giving a shit about many things, but I do care about other things passionately, even if they don't reciprocate. Work is one of those things that I really would rather care about than not. When I don't - it usually makes me unhappy.

Yes, unless giving shit makes you happy you shouldn't give any.

I agree, but also wasn't advocating for not giving any shit, more so not going "above and beyond" in what is ultimately a relationship that's transactional in nature, or maybe just beyond. Everyone loves someone who takes pride in their work and does a great job, but investing yourself in the company in a way they they won't reciprocate doesn't seem wise. Investing in that way in your actually family, your own business, or your community seems different. Another way I'd phrase this is not to not give a shit, but to not give more than a shit.
