> feeling of wanting to do high quality work wherever you are?

I guess that when you state that, you assume relevant compensation.

But often companies put that in job description when they search for „people who want to do high quality work wherever they are”, literally.

In worst cases they end up exploiting more naive or less experienced workers.

True, but you don't know which type of company it is until you talk to them or do some research right? I wouldn't want to just assume that when so many good companies use that word as well.

Name three.

I'm yet to see a single company expecting "passion" that would be doing something worthwhile, or even something one can actually be passionate about.

It is a bit relative to the person I would imagine. Some people might be passionate about working at Canva, some people might be passionate about working at Instagram, etc...

Depends a bit on what you enjoy doing and how you want to fill your day I guess.
