Not just demand passion, but demand anything other than work. Any sort of positive virtue is a side effect and must be earned.

Had a company recently tell me one of their principles was Loyalty, and to "remember loyalty when putting the ink on the paper".

This was their attempt at solving early-stage developer burnout. I didn't sign.



Anytime a founder/startup mentions the words "family" or "loyalty", its a big red flag. Always run away from these companies that demand you be subservient just to be employed.
