So, not fun, not rewarding, no intellectual challenge, no career benefit. Why exactly should I want to do it? This isn't the goddamn United Federation of Planets, nor is the company a church - why exactly should I go above and beyond what I agreed to in exchange for my salary? It's not like the bosses go above and beyond either, nor do they believe in company "mission".

To be clear: I understand the importance of actually doing your job right, and benefits of using boring tech, but you are not selling that well here. Employees need food and shelter and creature comforts, and so do their families. They are going to think beyond the current job, because if they won't, nobody else will.
