Honestly I think this is a partially bogus argument. I work ****ing fast food with people you'd imagine would give the least ****s, and while they do, they generally have the infuriating quality of valuing their productivity as a badge of honor, at least on some level. Tell them that they have a worthless job and they're liable to start getting offended no matter how depressing it is to have to get satisfaction from being good at constructing "hamburgers" on the world's least impressive assembly line. People are tied to their self-worth derived from work to a degree that isn't rational. Even I find myself taking pride in this or that bull**** achievement or piece of praise at work sometimes and I hate it.
