The thing that seems unfair to me is the number of people that are expected to care about jobs they don't care about. You should be allowed to say, look, I'm fulfilling my contract; you can't put in the contract 'also you have to seem like you give a shit'. I think that's expecting too much.

What's twisted is that, if you go way out at the edge of the curve, you'll find people who either actually do enjoy any horrible job you can think of, or else are willing to do an earnest imitation of enjoying it. Large enough employers can search though a large enough pool, using sophisticated enough tools, to find these weirdos and try to employ only the kinds of lunatics who would say "I love this job, and I think a pizza party is an acceptable alternative to a raise!"
