No, my job is to work and your job is to pay me. If your business is successful or not, is none of my problem. Fuck you, pay me. I write your stupid shit enterprise cruft all day and cash your worthless benefits. You want me to create and generate new value? Fuck you, pay me. Nobody cares about your groundbreaking technology that is the foundation of thousands of other bullshit businesses selling nothing but hustle. Put the cash in my hand so I can get the fuck out of here.

Wow, just... wow. There are companies in this world that you can get behind, where you can "generate value", and where your involvement actually improves your life instead of shitting all over it. I'm sorry you think the world is divided between soulless snake-oil corporations and mercenary employees, both of whom are out to totally fuck the other over. That's a dark world to have to live in.

  It's not dark (more appropriately, it's not false), it's just overstatement. Most employees just want a paycheck, and most employers want to maximize profit at whatever cost. We all live in the world in which this happens. Not all of us, thankfully, are employed in that part of the world; that does not mean, though, that it does not exist. I'm glad you're not part of it; I'm not, either, but only because I left and made my own way. It wasn't easy, and still isn't, but it was and is worth it. It's easy to dismiss doom and gloom because it's not everywhere. But the GP's experience is perfectly real.

  Doing good work for the money does not make you a mercenary (in whatever bad sense you're implying here.) It makes you like 95% of the workers in the world. Are people who work at McDonald's fucking them over if they don't give a shit about corporate's goals?

  "Fuck you, pay me" is the beginning of wisdom in this industry.

  Corporates are not human so I'm not sure what your basing your opinion on.

Wow, what's with the rage? Find a job with a company you like, and get some proper job gratification and self respect, please.

  Self respect and job gratification are algorithms to be optimized.
