      The only panel that’s wrong is the answer to “why this company in particular”

      It should be “your company gives more currency in exchange for service than your competitor”

      To be fair: A lot of people don’t hate their jobs. Of course, if someone asked me the question in the panel, I’d think they were over-doing it, but it’s a completely fair question to ask someone why they think this job could be something they enjoy.

      Specifically, employees that enjoy their work are less likely to leave the company at the first opportunity. Hiring people costs money, so it makes sense to choose a candidate that is at least to some degree passionate about what they’ll be doing.

    They want “passionate” workers because they’re easier to exploit.

    Nobody’s “passionate” about mmWave infrastructure, Brian. Nobody’s gonna take a pay cut for that.

      There was this guy on COD warzone who was a certified propane inspector and was a blast to play with, people would spend the whole game learning about how everything propane related was or not up to code

      So yeah, there are people who love their job, enough for that to seep into videogames

    There’s a simple solution to everyone loving their job:

    Work should be optional.

    You don’t see retirees volunteering for tasks they hate. Inb4 scrubbing toilets; I’d prefer to design toilet-scrubbing machines instead of toys for rich people.
