I'm working for the benefit of me. If the corporation happens to benefit because I am part of the workforce, they benefit as well, from having a good employee. I'm not there to make the corporation better. I'm there to make my life better. Sometimes, both things happen, but it's my life that I wish to improve.
The way I view it is they are fortunate to have me for an employee. I have good credentials and am very good at my job. They cannot replace me easily.
All of that may be true. But you are still working for the benefit of the corporation. You are an at-will commodity for them. As long as you are producing for them you are of value to them. If you were not benefitting them, they would terminate you without any thought.
