Believe it or not, some people do enjoy their job.

What does enjoying the job or not have to do with not wanting to get fired, or improving re-hirability?

There have been times when I've fixed bugs at 3am and genuinely enjoyed it because I've found the work fun and interesting. Hasn't happened in a long while, but that's just because the company as a whole is less pleasant to work at.

Looking at these pics I can't help but imagine how unhappy those Blizzard employees must be working on those broken buggy games. Poor Blizz!

Thinking how satisfied they must be with their jobs and general philosophy I don't think their families would suffer for it. In fact, I think it'd be the opposite.

Not every adult is married and / or has kids.

I was thinking this myself... Sure it's good they enjoy their job, but everything has to come in moderation! Including working regardless of how amazing you may find it..
