Most people don't have the luxury of finding joy and meaning in their work. You aren't hired to have fun, you're hired to create value and wealth for your employer. Just do what literally everyone else does and grind through it until you get a pension and hope it's enough to let you die with a bit of dignity.

Here in stupid town we stab ourselves with knives. It hurts and we get infections but everybody does it. We don't even remember why we do it any more but we do so you have to as well.

The real problem is the amount of value that gets left on the table.

Also, mental health is just as much a part of health and well-being as the physical.

That is definitely not what everybody else does. Some people try harder to find the things that they enjoy doing that provide value to others.
