Corporate psychology
Sometimes, when we align ourselves with a collection of people, our individual values become blurred. At worst, we get caught up in what historians call “mob mentality”. Mobs aren't always sinister. A mob could be a group of friends or a project team in a corporate setting. Whatever, the mere act of being part of one can wear away your identity. The natural tendency is to blend in, to run with the pack.
Corporate psychology is the more successful a company is, the more its employees take on the company's mindset and values, while forsaking their own. In the process they can lose a sense of self-worth.
You are you; the sum of your personality, your upbringing, everything that ever happened to you, they ways you've reacted.
As a result of inevitable waves of downsizing and reengineering and people get pink slips, they fall deeper into depression, wrapping themselves more tightly in self-pity than those with values and identities apart from their careers.
