>It’s worthwhile to “go above and beyond” for individuals who will help you, who may exist in a company… but never for the company itself.

That feels like the correct way to think about it. Everyone else seems to think it's one extreme or the other but really thinking about it on an individual level vs a company level seems more accurate to my own experience.



This can be generalized to life in many situations in my experience.

E.g. replace "company" in the quoted statement by "nation"/"religious organization"/"political party" etc.
