Alienation may be part of it, but it could also be due to a variance in how people perceive the world.
A health insurance company might have employees with different understandings of how the world works. Some may feel they are helping people who are sick, and others may feel they are skimming money off the top of sick people.
The former employees might feel quite satisfied with their work and the later naturally feels depressed and anxious.

- tonyedgecombe 5y agoThere is evidence that mildly depressed people tend to have a more accurate outlook on the world.
