I didn't know "loving the job" was part of the job. I think I see what you're saying if I stretch a bit, but "effectiveness in role" and "communicates respectfully and accurately" should be the main drivers, not "Does she still dream about her merge requests?"

That is exactly my point - effectiveness in role and communications should not be the main drivers. Desire to be at the job should be the main driver. If you don't want to be there, you effectiveness will suffer. But if you have a team who does want to be there, you can coach them to improve effectiveness and communications.
