I know it's ridiculous, but I will use my own time to work on some problems that officially we're not allowed to fix. I make that issue my hobby project and use my time to learn some new tool/technology (that looks good on a resume). For example, right now I'm learning Rust to fix [a hairy build problem]. Taking on the problem gives me back some that developer motivation. Using it as a learning opportunity makes me feel like I'm personally growing.
