That's just a bunch of random words you're saying. Reality: we're building a company so we can create wealth and support our families and achieve something. We have a plan for doing it. If you're not following the plan and just sabotaging everything, you're doing exactly that - sabotaging.
This is different than saying "hey, I don't agree, let's discuss and challenge the plat" - that's great and admirable and you should do that (and I suspect you don't actually do that in your workplace). But to silently read the strategy and then say "ah fuck'it doesn't apply to me" is a huge fuck you to your colleagues. You have chosen to accept the job and the mission, do the job.

- goodpoint 5y ago> we're building a company so we can create wealth and support our families Whose families? Most private companies state very clearly that mission is to "maximize shareholder's value". That's the whole point of being privately owned. Hiring and paying employers is a necessary evil. That's why they need legal regulation, public supervision, even whistleblower employees.
