    No. One’s colleagues and peers deserve respect and loyalty (so long as they reciprocate). But not the bosses.

        loyalty and respect to your team doesn’t mean sticking around in that position. It just means not screwing them by slacking off or snitching or scabbing etc

            “Work ethic” for most wage slaves, is just being a good subservient worker bee that does whatever the boss tells them. It’s a ridiculously vague term and your definition is not at all common sense. That’s why I explicitly specified “to your colleagues”.

              That sounds more like “loyalty” to me.

              My work ethic applies to how I approach my hobbies and past-time activities as well – has nothing to do with how I feel about my employer or the work I am doing at the moment.

                Yes, what I wrote does sound like “loyalty to one’s boss”, but not like “loyalty to your colleagues”. This is my point.

                My work ethic applies to how I approach my hobbies and past-time activities as well

                yes, this is your personal definition. Ask 10 people what “work ethic” means to them and you’ll likely get 11 different answers.
