I'm not paid enough. Real ownership comes with a guarantee of future employment. Given my at will employment state I try to stay as disconnected from my work as possible. I work hard out of professional duty. Ownership is a scam sold by the C suite to get young developers to give up their 20s for 0 dollar options. If I feel a sense of ownership and I am suddenly laid off I'll feel angry and sad. If I view my work as a professional obligation to receive money then when I get let go I can disconnect and not feel any regret.
Never own anything unless a board of directors decides your fate.
