If my boss gives me a positive evaluation , is it bad? Luke 6:26 haunts me at work

Recently recieved a 1 on 1 employee check in/evaluation and it was a positive evaluation praising my work ethics and telling me that I'm too valuable to them for them to lay me off. (I told them i would be willing to be layed off if they have to lay people off due to not wanting to make my favorite career into an idol i had heard how careers can be an idol and Many evangelists and preachers talking about surrendering things and how I remember Jesus calling Peter and Matthew out of their profession so i put my job on the line by being open for lay off. For i promised my mom i wouldnt quit my job) any ways,my bosses are bent on keeping me on board and praise my performances i appreciate it but I also feel bad about it due to Jesus saying in Luke 6:"woe to you when men speak well of you!" That haunts me when my evaluation goes smooth. Or when my bosses praise me. Should I be scared or concerned? Am I in trouble for being spoken well of by my bosses?
