    “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.
