When I was In industry (was in healthcare) - I def bought the koolaid that the patients are the mission, turns out that’s apparently not true for the main execs.
I’d recommend - don’t completely get mesmerized by a company’s mission/purpose and transform it to be your own. We should all have our own personal mission/values and if it aligns with a company, great; if not, use your time there wisely for what it is or move on to a place that will better serve you.
