Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy?

Recently, I heard of a boss who asks all his employees if they love their jobs. If they answer negatively, he fires them.

WTF?

For one thing, his employees will simply tell him what he wants to hear just to keep their jobs. So, asking them if they love their jobs is basically a waste of time, because he won't be able to separate the honest answers from the expedient ones.

Secondly, what's it to him if his employees don't love their jobs? People go to work to make a living, not to be entertained. It's nice if we love our jobs, but it's just icing on the cake if we do; it's not essential for most people.

Most people are mature enough to deal with it they don't go into raptures of joy about their work. Part of being an adult is doing some things that we don't necessarily like, but serve our purposes in the long run. Making a living is one of those things.

An employer's only concern should be how employees perform their jobs. It's their own business whether or not they like what they do. As long as employees do their jobs in a satisfactory manner, an employer should be satisfied. Doing good work should be the only condition for keeping a job, not loving the job.

Thoughts?
