Doing a good job has value in itself. Yes, it’s better to get compensated for that, but taking pride in your work at least makes the workday go faster.
Then again, I’m a millennial, so I guess I was sold the lie.
For me it’s more about simply someone paid for this thing and how I get paid (unfairly but still) and it isn’t that person’s fault my company sucks. I feel bad if I don’t give the customer what they expect and paid for. Like I can’t fuck other people over just because I’m being fucked. On the other hand I understand why the McDonald’s person doesn’t give a shit and I don’t blame them at all. The lie is deeply engrained in us.
Whether your company sucks or you’re compensated fairly isn’t particularly relevant IMO.
Doing a good job and feeling pride in your work has value in itself. Don’t do it for the company, do it for yourself, and you’ll probably be happier. And then look around for jobs that reward that.
Hmm, sounds like crappy parents.
