The negative reactions are entirely appropriate. Using other words like passion and perseverence is no better. The problem isn't being dedicated, the problem is using those virtues as a good sounding way to say "We want people we can abuse and work like dogs for no real reward," I exhibit all those qualities of liking what I do and doing it almost 24/7 by choice, and overcoming all the hard problems that come along that others give up on etc, and I see ads like that as toxic AF. No way am I working for anyone that thinks it's cool to demand that sort of work-worship. I give it voluntarily to people who treat me like a human, and such people by definition don't ask for slavish devotion. And if they had to ask for above & beyond for some outstanding reason, they for damned sure don't try to couch it such language, and it's the exception not the rule.
