Does everyone reaaally hate their job but just stay in it and gaslight themselves into liking it ?

Does everyone really hare their job ? I sed colleagues going not just the extra mile but an extra 200 miles for their job knowing it won't lead to a raise or anything. I *despise* this job, thinking of having to do it for another year gives me physical pain. I hate it so much. I've been doing it for a few yrs now and I don't think I'll ever get used to it. I hope I'll be able to leave soon
But seriously is this level of hate towards your job normal ? Do people gaslight themselves into liking miserable jobs where they have to be cheerful and talk... ?!

I absolutely love my job working for the Army and bring superior skills, knowledge, and abilities in supporting the troops on a daily basis.

It's the terrible people I have to work with in the other related departments who screw things up constantly due to poor training in a high turnover environment. Their inadequacies and incompetencies make our job regretful in many ways. In short, this hostile gov't run environment has permanent 'going postal' syndrome.

@PatKirby Different countries, very similar problems. Will the world ever get better? but you said you're near retirement. That's good news. Lots of travel plans?
