You have other options - you can quit. But the one option someone chooses should not be to do a lousy job. It's not your responsibility or right to bring the organization down by doing a bad job, and perhaps there are employees there trying to make the organization work but are hampered by those that just don't care. A better option is to do a great job, rise through the ranks, and improve the company. Plus, doing inferior work ultimately degrades the worker. The best strategy is to always do the best job you can, and if the workplace doesn't work for you, move on. Perfect point. You have other options – you can quit.

If an employee is in an underpaid, unappreciated position, and feels like an insignificant cog in the corporate machinery, is it really his fault for not caring? If a company treats all of its lower employees as easily replaceable, who's to blame them for not giving a damn? I have worked in a company like this. Good for me that, as soon as I realized the situation, I had other options. Well, not unlike rabid dogs, some companies deserve to be put down.
