The sheer amount of FOSS, free art, self-published literature, music, etc that exists trivially disproves the idea that people won't work without monetary compensation. I agree that it's not good for people to be passionate about a job, but that's only because the company isn't equally passionate about you. That passion in today's jobs is a weapon to exploit your labor. In a healthier form of work, where you and other workers actually own the company and share in its success equally, passion for the work and the org is great to have.
