When my children cry after being told it's bedtime and we have to leave the party, I always tell them, "be grateful that it happened, not angry that it's over."

Sounds like these people got the same message as kids and successfully internalized it. You don't have to love the fact that your job is over, but getting mad about it doesn't make any sense. Just like life itself, every job is temporary. To think you ever had full control over when it ends would be the height of arrogance.
