Are you sure this is a Germany vs US thing? I'm originally from Germany and now live in Switzerland. I also think I'm doing something for someone else, no matter that my current project has public utility. I've also never cared about my company for socialization purposes.
We'd need some data about this question to see whether it is a cultural or individual thing.
- donquichotte 5y agoI agree. I enjoy socializing, but it never even crossed my mind that my job isn't doing something for someone else. This hypothesis is quite easy to verify: the sets of activities that I perform at work and in the time I have full control over are strictly disjoint.
