Comment on how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy?

I think the question is easier to answer if you remove the specific reason this coworker is annoying.
How do you deal with someone who bothers you with annoying, unwanted conversation about job satisfaction? The same way you deal with someone who bothers you with annoying, unwanted conversation about CrossFit or astrology. You answer every question with some version of ‘Huh, I don’t really know. I’m really busy, though, so I can’t talk. Have a good day.’
The whole careerism element seems largely immaterial.
