Speak for yourself.

I can completely fail at work, go home, and sleep like a baby. Conversely, I can have an amazingly good day, enjoy it and then completely forget about it the next day.

It's just a job.

Guess it depends on your employer. Many where I am will fire you depending on your performance and very hastily so. They’ll also try to make your life miserable along the way.
