Thanks for your response. However, this type of moral high ground argument makes very little sense to me. My job(s) aren't the source of my happiness and self satisfaction. I have a family and hobbies outside of work. My work simply funds my real life. I don't feel a need to be good at my job. If anything, it sounds like tying your happiness to being "objectively good" at your job is a potentially dangerous mindset. If my superiors/reviewers think I'm "subjectively good" at my work and reward me for it, what does it matter if I'm not "objectively good". (Also, "objectively good" is subjective)

they're not taking the moral high ground you're taking the low ground, and they're at sea level

Honestly, it’s not a moral high ground. You’re working three jobs—probably 40-50hrs a week at least—more time than you’re getting to spend on your hobbies or your family. Why not do one of those jobs, twice as well, in half the hours, and spend the extra time with your family and hobbies. You’ll be happier. I promise.
