loss of business context

I was feeling good and thought my feel good factor will rub against the team but it ended being defensive about addressing personal issues and why they are important to me? The general feedback was I am of importance and I should be treated so. I dont know and dont care about what you say because this is what I have heard and this is what I think is to be true and therefore I want to pursue that.
What is business context and what does it mean to me? Why am I working for this company if they cannot address my personal needs?
In future you could deflect such questions by humor if they are not part of the agenda.
I have ended up having to defend aggressively that we are all here because of this company and this company wants to make money and therefore we should contribute for the same. Personal needs can be accommadated but it requires some efforts and changes that may not be easy to come by.
I started by discussing the variability and constantness in the design and in every phase of software lifecycle and how it can help individual to become experts in their field of liking. And if you like something then you will find the time to pursue that. Was I trying too hard to put across this point because I have tried it before and always had same result where people continue with their angst and it keeps recurring again and again.
How can we work in a team that has constant change and transitions?
