I think your employer is lucky to have someone like you. In my experience, very few people have this attitude. And that's also my tip: realize that the vast majority of people only do their job by the book and don't care whether they do it well or not. You should then consider whether your employer appreciates the fact that you care about your job. If that's not the case, just do it like everyone else or try somewhere else. But always be aware that your employer probably doesn't care about you and your concerns for the company at all. In my experience, it is unfortunately all too often the case that motivated people sooner or later give up and are no longer prepared to do more than the absolute minimum. Unfortunately, that's how working life is at the vast majority of companies. It's really sad because there is so much lost potential. But on the other hand there is all the more potential outside of work.
