One is to expect the workers to love their job.

Honestly, loving one's job doesn't mean never needing a break. Working Class jobs pay because they are hard work that you need to pay someone to do. Whether or not you enjoy the work doesn't change the fact that it is hard work.

I am extremely privileged with my job. I don't get paid as well as my counterparts elsewhere but the personality and leadership style of my superiors has kept me here. I don't expect I'd be able to do what I do how I do it anywhere else. Considering all this, I wouldn't say I love my job. There are parts that are tedious and unpleasant. However, I do like my job. Even the parts I like are challenging and can be exhausting. I still need a break occasionally.
