Good designers, good developers, good <insert profession here> have an acute sense of where their role is in the business. Employees who have an unclear idea of what they're doing or why they're doing it, also don't have their focus on improving their company and the lives of their customers. Hence they'd often make arbitrary decisions regarding how to prioritize their limited resources (time, money, which features go into the next milestone etc.). And in this way they may end up dragging the company down. An employee asking themselves "am I worth it" can be a sign of a dysfunctional company culture, or the problem may lie with the employee, but wherever the blame lies, people who don't know their worth are in the long run not worth that much to their company, fad and cargo cult caused disbalances notwithstanding.
