I also think it's not really about having a job, but the resistance-is-futile employee mindset. My sister works in a petshop and her boss sees her as an equal. If he has a good year, all his employees get a bonus, and she can call him a jerk in his face if he's being cranky, and she won't get fired for it. She's really passionate about her work and there's a good chance she might even own the store one day. She might have a job, but she's more than just a mindless employee.
