Independent thinking/critical thinking is valued in education, but punished in the workplace. The workplace is all about authority and dogma.
Each management decision establishes an authoritative truth which diverges from "the truth", and cannot be questioned because it is enforced by the company hierarchy.
If you grew up believing in the scientific method you will be frustrated as fuck having to deal with axioms created by people that are not necessarily intellectually inclined.
Having to spend time inside a castle of lies (i.e.: a company) is a miserable form of living. Lies such as that sycophants without hard skills are worth of a position of authority, and the learned helplessness of not being to solve problems like tech debt and having to tolerate stupid obstacles every day without being able to do anything about it.
What makes people miserable is that many companies are a shitty version of the movie Die Welle. But instead of white shirts it's a t-shirt with a startup logo.
