This kind of hits it on the head because it begs the real question of how are you fundamentally motivated? Art or Commerce? Or?

One really has to consider these issues. If you NEED to make art, then go do your own stuff! If you are there to make money, then do the best job you can for them, which means that you should not drag down the entire workplace.
And anyways, I would not waste a day of my time in a place where I could not make myself happy. That's the most important focus - people have to make themselves as happy as they can within the system. If you want to change the world, then don't start by being a html programmer in a large company.
