I suspect you've never really been passionate about your work or loved the crew you've worked with.

I recommend it. Love hurts, but sometimes it's a good hurt.

Your employer will get rid of you in a blink if needed, as current layoffs show, getting too attached to your work is not healthy - no matter how passionate you are about it.

Your husband or wife can also wake up and decide to "get rid of you in a blink".

How attached to them should you get?

It's a much less chance and not comparable at all. Treating job as a family member is also not healthy.
