When people say these jobs literally could not care less about you...
Yeah, I don't particularly care about my coworkers, but I feel I would notice if someone died at their desk or didn't show up for days unexpectedly.
Damn, it sounds like a toxic environment with people you spend one third of your day with; it is just your regular corporate environment, most likely.
I work in a kitchen, people tend to be fairly negative and miserable. The leadership above me is untrustworthy and mostly concerned with their own trajectory. I say I don't particularly care because I would not choose to associate with them if I had a choice. This doesn't mean I don't help people at work or look out for folks, though I do the same for people outside of work I don't personally care about. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but you don't have to care about a person individually to treat them with human kindness.
They are suggesting that coworkers aren’t friends. They can be but probably usually aren’t.
