Probably because they're addicted to trivialities like living indoors and eating food on at least a semi-regular basis.

Lol, it's not having a job that I was referring to.

I meant why do they take an unnecessary interest in it?  Why are they protective over it?  Why do they argue and get upset about workplace issues, work unpaid overtime, treat co-workers the way they do, act like losing their stapler or Geoff being 10 mins late with a spreadsheet or Susan wearing a new blouse is the most dramatic thing in the world?

Taking an interest in your job seems necessary, particularly in the current work environment.

People are protective over their jobs because keeping one is often easier than looking for one.

Workplace issues can affect how you do your job.

People who don't work unpaid overtime may get sacked.

The answer to the rest of your questions is 'People tend towards awfulness'. If someone is petty and vindictive on the job, it's likely that they're that way all the time.
