Exploitation of workers becomes more socially acceptable if the workers are perceived as "passionate" about their jobs

It’s strange that people don’t seem to consider that expecting to exploit our passion and duty just ensures a workforce that protects itself from feeling passionate or dutiful because it’s always a risk. That’s exactly what happened with me. They made us install a new app that tries to pigeonhole our work style. I got caretaker, the app actually warned me about getting taken advantage of which was rich considering… if that wasn’t true I wouldn’t have had to install their obnoxious corporate spyware to have the “advice.” I took that advice to heart a little too much and got laid off.
