As somebody who has only ever worked at places small enough for individuals to all roughly understand eachother's impact, could I even get a job at a big org like that? I don't even understand the mindset
I learned that the hard way, only the other way around.
If you want to seek meaning in your work, then yes, cubicle farms will not give you fulfilment. But if you're just after a steady paycheque, and don't give a damn about the business, your work nor its purpose, then this is fine. And it gives you free time to live outside of work too.
