@Daojoan This!
I want to go in, do my bit, and then go home to my family, knowing we have food on the table, a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, and enough left over to live comfortable if unremarkable lives.
I don't want to deal with managers throwing temper tantrums because I'm not doing the work of 4 people, I don't want to troubleshoot problems caused by the people at head office, nor do I want to take the flak from customers pissed of because of those problems.
I don't want to have to take on "side hustles" to make ends meet, nor do i want to monetise my hobbies - doing something to make money is working, and I spend enough time doing that, I just want to relax!
And I really don't want to spend money i don't have to buy things I don't need to impress people I neither like nor care about.
Spending time with my family - my wife, my kids, my grandkids - is more important to me than that expensive new toy, that new and expensive tourist trap destination, or being a good influencer.
Unless, of course, I'm influencing people to consume less and help those around them.
I'm fine with that

@Daojoan My most recent job keeps talking about working with grit and determination. Buzz words for "work harder so the stockholders can have a better return on investment." I work my 8 hours, I do everything I am supposed to do, and then go home. I don't work overtime on my time. I don't check in on the weekend or holidays. I am not putting myself on the path for advancement. I am on the path to retirement. I don't care about the stockholders.

@Daojoan it does? Why am I always the last to hear about these things.
