You’d be surprised at the amount of people in, say, Europe, who don’t identify with their daytime jobs in the ways some Americans do. The mindset I’m talking about is something along the line of that there’s actual life outside work, and your job is used to pay for it, and that’s about it. In some societies it can be even perceived as rude and selfish if you’re trying to push and be competitive.

European here. I'm honestly shocked to find out that there's anything else than the "work for money so you can live" mindset.
Unless you have equity or it's a charity, of course.
That being said, I don’t really envy that mindset, I suspect there’s something fundamentally broken about a mind that’s resigned to treating a supposedly symbiotic relationship as adversarial, even though it may be a warranted reaction given how so many companies treat their employees.
