If all people need to be saved by God, then God must not be doing his job.

That is one of the criticisms of limited atonement, and basically goes into the problem of evil, as the counter-claim is that God has greater plans and seeks greater goods, and ultimately the greater goods argument is non-falsifiable or verifiable.

people hate calvinism because it stresses god soverignty over us. In which he controls everything which he does(romans 11:36). We actually dont have free will because God has predestined us and this is true as well. See romans 9:11-26; Epheisans 1:4.

Aside from hell, predestination is probably the most unpopular bible doctrine because it is God who chooses who he wants to save
