That’s also the advice I often give to programmers, to think of themselves as working for a company (in exchange for money) rather than at a company (as part of a common cause). That advice makes some stressful situations and conflicts just magically disappear.
It is also a great way to avoid receiving job offers. “Your company is my cause” is one of the socially-necessitated blatant lies of our age.

Oh, I never said they shouldn’t lie.
