Remember, market can be irrational for longer than you can remain solvent.
Just to be clear, what you are describing is a world in which nobody could (or should) ever request or receive reasonable accommodations under the ADA.
If all you want is money to fuel the rest of your life then i think you are on point.
Personally i think life is to short/demanding, one needs to find an appropriate balance between work and personal life. I would rather have the people at work be friends than foes.
In order for it to be a workplace, one needs not to be fired/let go/reorganized out of the workplace.
Sure, but for how many of us is that going to be a reality? You have to protect yourself, and the vast majority of people work for a paycheck because there is no other option.
I don't want to bring my whole self to work, I don't want to identify with my job or my company or see myself as part of a tribe. As far as my job is concerned I just want to do good work. And so I really don't identify with this notion.
I would say that at this point, the relationship between employee and employer is generally rather adversarial. I accept the situation such as it is, but I don't relish that. I don't want to bring my whole self to that. I want to wall my real self off from that. I have a job because I need money to do the things I actually want to do. So in that sense, sure "all I want is money". That is a normal reaction to how things are.
