Lurker for a while.
I'm paid reasonably but I admit I'm only at any job for the money (I've lost all passions). I spend more time stated outside the contracted hours when circumstances call for it or help a colleague who's overwhelmed but that's the most I would do.
All my colleagues tend to pander to the boss' whims and fancy (even in previous jobs and even if it does not make sense). It makes me feel like an alien. The funny thing is that would all just pander to what the boss wants but when it comes to helping another colleague in need, they would not, which makes me question their humanity as well.
I just personally feel like work is just work (not as if I'm saving lives) and there's no need to give it my all. And it's just strange that others around me (such as family members, friends and colleagues) don't seem to see it and would think that I've an attitude problem. Thoughts?
