I heard yet another stupid “Call in if you love your job!” radio show this morning. I think that they are absolutely stupid – I think very, very few people “love” their job. What they really means is that their job is a lot better than some.
Think about it. Think about the things you “love” to do. Maybe golf, laying on the beach, spending time with friends, perhaps cooking, or going to the movies, or dancing. All of these are things we love to do – and we don't just just do for free, but we (sometimes, at least) pay to do them.
So if someone says they “love” their job, the question to ask is “If you were independently wealthy and never needed to work another day in your life, would you still do your job for free? Would you pay them to let you do it?” If the person can't answer 'Yes' to those questions, then they don't love their job at all.
