That is a major abuse of "passion".
That's just the gap between what employers hope for when they place a job advert, and what they get.I would like someone who loves their work so much they do 150% of the expected amount of work, freely chooses to stay late to make the Foo they're working on the best Foo the world has ever seen. Someone I can promote, and trust with more responsibility and less supervision.
But I'll tolerate someone who does 75% of the expected amount of work, because I'm realistic about the hiring market.
