I would say that this guy is my spirit animal except that during some of his other scenes, he very much acted in a way contrary to what I believe I would have done.

I don't want to say any more since the show is still new and I don't want to ruin anything for anyone.

But this line, yes. Very yes. Most of my jobs have been like this. It's just like, I'm only here because they pay me to be. I only do what I need to in order to not get fired.

"Lacks enthusiasm" in this case really means "doesn't feign enthusiasm".

Why are so many people adamant on seeing someone being "enthusiastic" and "high-energy"? Don't they realize how exhausting it is to maintain that for more than an hour?

Depending on the job, it makes sense - customer service ones in particular. But it's on the employer to have a working environment that inspires enthusiasm.

Thanks for reminding me how good it is to be honest about what you see
